For anyone stuck in this situation try creating a forceinstall.txt file on your usb. From customer support:

First re-download the firmware update file.
On and empty USB drive add the firmware .img file with an empty file named forceinstall.txt
Unplug the unit from wall power for a few minutes.
Connect the USB drive.
Plug back in and power on.
