Device does not apply patch from USB drive?

After trying to install Galeforce, my device does not accept SSH connections, and I think I'm doing something wrong in the installation process.

I flashed my thumb drive using the OnHub Recovery tool.

These are the steps I followed in my own words and with my observations:

• connect power through USB-C adapter to device while holding reset button on back
• wait until blinking orange
• press bubble switch -> device blinks purple once and restarts
• device shows steady blue for a few seconds and then starts blinking purple
• connect thumb drive to USB adapter
• press bubble button -> device continues blinking purple
• after about 10 seconds, the device stops blinking, shows no light for a few seconds and then pulses purple
• wifi back online, does not accept ssh connection

I think something weird is going on around the time of the second bubble switch press, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
