HA Green Unable to Reset / Update

As a bit of background, I purchased an HA Green and set it up successfully. But I’ve had issues with every Z-wave stick I attempted to use (as in, they don’t work).
I figured I’d give a reset a try. Being on an old OS, I had to use the SD card method.

Every time I attempt to update from the SD, I get a “Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized” hang, with no time out.
I’ve tried updating the time DNS and tried updating the timesyncd.conf
I’ve tried three different SD cards with the latest image.
No change.

CLI boots fine when I remove the card.

Any ideas?
