I finally sorted this out, after a couple hours of trial and error.
The thing that eventually worked for me was the following:
- remove the USB cable from and shut down the Pod GO
- download the line 6 updater
- start the line 6 updater in offline mode - do not log in.
- from https://line6.com/software/ Filter by Hardware: Pod GO, Software: Firmware , Operating system: your operating system
- download the firmware version you were on before the failed update
- Turn on the Pod GO in update mode ( hold `Page >`) while flipping the power switch on
- quit all applications besides line 6 updater
- in Line 6 updater, choose the firmware .hfx file that you downloaded
- Go through the installation steps
That got be back to where I was before I bricked my Pod GO.
Then, to update to the newest version, I updated each consecutive version and updated to that through the line 6 updater.
whew. Hope that helps someone!
