Hello, I had the same problem.
When i powered my NAS on, it says booting and after a few minutes he says only "RETRY STARTUP",
i can't power off the NAS normaly, i was forced to pull the power out of it.
After i put the power on, it came again with "RETRY STARTUP"
I pulled the plug again and removerd all HDD's and replace thos HDD's with an other HDD who has not been in my NAS.
I did install the NAS again but now only on that ONE HDD.
After the install was finished, i did a firmware update to the last update.
After the Firmware update was done, i was able to power off the NAS like it should be.
After the NAS was powered down, i removed that ONE HDD, and put my 4 HDD's back in to the NAS, and rebooted it again.
Now everything was back to normal, only the Firmware was now updated but everything else was just fine again.
