Read below to see how I overcame a possible factory reset on my 2021 BOOM GTS system:
This is exactly what I did. I went through 3 different USB drives til I found the right combination. USB 1.0 was too slow I guess to perform the update and froze. USB 2.0 had both the system and dealer location update files on it as did the USB 3.0 drive. All failed after package 2 giving me and error message that said my update was interrupted and I needed to place the selector in the ACC position, reinsert my USB, and select
retry. All were USB drives were formatted Fat32.
Final option was what Road Trip mentioned. With only the system
swdl_boombox_GTS_DOM.iso on it (only 6 packages to update) I was able to complete the update and overcome a blank non-functional screen - FINALLY!! As soon as it hit the 3rd package I knew I was home free.
So the procedures I used on my 2021 BOOM GTS system was:1. Format the USB drive with exFat format (tried Fat32 and it didn't work).
2. Downloaded a fresh swdl_boombox_GTS_DOM.zip file from
https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson.com/sip/content/document/view?id=14762312219429460633. Extracted the swdl_boombox_GTS_DOM.iso from the zip file and copied just it to the USB 3.0 thumb drive.
4. Turned bike switch to ACC.
5. Inserted the USB 3.0 drive and...
System automatically recognized the file on the USB drive and started the update of 6 packages.
Update completed and the system went to the main display and all is well. Worked like a charm.
It's a beautiful thing to see.
I hope this helps someone else avoid what I had to go through.
