I just completed this on my 2017 F250 Platinum and my wifes 2017 Explorer Platinum... Only issues I had:
F250 would not recognize USB2, hard reset 5-6 times it eventually found what it was looking for. Somewhere along the line USB2 error'd on a file, but after it reset itself all was good. Have not used USB3 yet... 45 minutes total including issues, but ~20 minutes to run USB2
Explorer would not recognize USB1, in/out 2-3 times, but once it did it was smooth sailing after that. Have not used USB3 yet... 25 minutes total
No issues so far (knock on wood)

No gps signal
I did this 3.4 update and it seemingly went very well I followed the instructions and after about 45 min for all three USB’s the installation was complete. But now I have no gps signal and can’t figure out how to get it back. I’ve tried several factory resets and nothing has worked.
does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to fix this.

I did the USB3 just as you said and all the Bit settings look good in Forscan so I don't know why I have no GPS. The only thing I can think of now is to try a new GPS antenna. Hopefully that will fix the issue. If that doesn't work I guess I'll just use the Android Auto Nav.

I could still make choices of colors after the upgrade.

yes I did disconnect the battery for a couple minutes. Maybe I should disconnect it a little longer.

Thanks everyone who contributed to this thread. I followed instructions and successfully installed 3.4 on my 2019 SD. My wife's 2020 Escape ( Company Car ) had 3.4 already installed so i had something to compare the truck to. Now both look the same.
