Just bought a used electric blue, having problems with the OS.

Hey there, I've been searching around trying to find an answer to this problem. I've seen some similar topics, but can't find a solution.
I recently bought a used Electric Blue Voyager. When I power on I can see that the OS is version 3.5 and then I get a message that says "The Operating System has to be re-loaded! Re-load Bank D?"
If I press "no" it takes me into the synth and everything seems normal, but when I go to the menu I only have a few options. I am missing any sort of a factory reset option that I have seen posted about.
I've downloaded the 3.5 firmware from the Moog site. I am a mac user, and I have SysEx Librarian.
When I try to load bank D on startup when prompted I get a message that says "Wrong bank was received!!!"
I thought maybe I needed to try different firmware, so I tried 3.6 and I got the same result.
So next I tried to just update using the "Receive Update" option. I am prompted to load Bank A, but whenever I send Bank A nothing happens. I tried this using both the 3.5 and the 3.6 firmware.
At this point I decided I wanted to do a complete factory reset, however when I look for the option for one it is nowhere to be found. What I did stumble upon was a menu labeled *** Reserved *** that when I go to it shows me a screen that says "Feb, 2nd 2010 Software by Rudi Linhard www.lintronics.de".
I saw another post about a different software version by Rudi Linhard with a dead link, so I went to lintronics.de to see if maybe there's a version of the OS there that I need to load, but I had no luck finding that software there.
So here I am. Hoping someone can help me sort this out.
