It reboots again and again: trying to update flash, failing and rebooting.

Could anyone help me to stop this cyclic reboot? All I need now is to get the telnet/ftp to this array and update firmware to latest 3.2.x...

Does anybody have any suggestions?

I've solved this using the following procedure:- set up TFTP server in the same network as T3+ and put firmware there- modified parameters in boot prompt to load firmware from TFTP server- after sucessfull loading, patched T3+ with the latest available firmware
