[SOLVED] XDJ R1 Not updating, stuck on 'Downloading'

Hello,

I am trying to update my XDJ R1 controller which is still at 1.07.  The update file is the only file on the USB stick. I turn off my console, plug in my USB stick and hold shift+USB to power on the console. "Download" appears on the screen but there is no progress visible, it just says download and it doesn't move. Is there any way that i can update my controller? I missed 1.08 because of the same issue. On the youtube channel i've seen more people complaining about this problem. Help please!
