Sync 3.0 was originally on the replaced apim. I could not get the update to 3.4 to work. I tried to do the app and voice only with the intention of install the maps separately later on. I did not realize at the time that a full downgrade and reformat would have been needed to accomplish this.
Either way, after messing around with it for a while last night I got the whole thing to work.
The all in one downgrade and reformat was obviously not working for me. What did work was doing them separately. I did a downgrade auto install thumb drive first, which got me to 3.3. I then did a reformat 3.4 thumb drive with all the maps and such and that worked as well.
All is well. Thank you for your help guys.
