K2 Plus Combo - Latest update bricked my CFS

So I installed the latest update (1.1.6.1) and now my CFS stopped working. I get "System Error, restarting" and all of the CFS lights are blinking red while it doesn't show up on the version check option on the printer's screen.

I can't even downgrade to 1.1.4.11. I tried formatting the USB in both exFAT and FAT32, tried inserting the usb while the machine is on and off, and nothing, I don't get the update pop-up at all...

So now I have a bricked hunk of metal...

Anyone know what I can do in this case?

K2 Plus - Random defects on every print, never in the same spot/layer

So I've been seeing random defects for every single print I do on my K2 Plus for quite some time now and they weren't bothering me as I would just take a file to them but I've started designing and selling some prints and I can't have prints with defects sent out, it's just not right.

I've cleaned and lubed all the rails, I did the bed leveling using the screws and the screws leveling macro, heat soaked the bed for 40 mines and did a full calibration, cleaned and even changed the nozzle, dried the filament for 4 hours and it still has random defects, either blobs or missing filament. Only thing that recently started happening is that every few days it looks like I have to keep increasing the z-offset, I'm now up to 0.21, not sure if it's relevant but it is a problem.

I've been using the same Geeetech PETG since I started 3D printing and never had many issues, if any, I even tried other filament brands and materials but I always get defects. They're always random, not on the same layer or even face, so it's really hard to pin-point it to a specific position on the rails, even the image shown, the left face has the defect at a lower layer than the face on the right.

Print is otherwise smooth, good z-offset for now but I'm expecting other defects by the time it finishes.

So I've been waiting for this month's 1st sale to get some high value items and I've noticed that the big value coupons still haven't been "restocked" and I've been checking in every day every few hours, is there a set time they'll be restocked or they're pretty much finished for this sale?
