Resolution
This is an unrecoverable error, please retry install. If you encounter this error again, please search for these symptoms in the VMware Knowledge Base for any known issues and possible resolutions. If none can be found, collect a support bundle and open a support request.
I had a similar issue and my resolution was the steps provided in https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/80469
I had lots of ssl certificates and the vCenter was unable to pin the correct one to transfer it and startup the services on the new vCenter appliance.

Can you still reject your upgrade and usually access your vCenter 6.7?
According to your Info - you have vCenter 6.7 U1b - you will say it makes no sense - but I recommend you to update that 6.7 vCenter to version U3s for example - and after that try to upgrade to version 7 again.
Should work.
Yes, I can access the 6.7 and have successfully reverted multiple times as I tried different version of VCSA7 .
I guess its worth trying upgrading to 6.7 U3 and try that. thanks.

this worked! LSDOCTOR sure remediates all ailments ! 🙂
Take a snapshot of vCenter - cold preffered,
From the puTTY session, go to /tmp/lsdoctor-master (current directory)
Run python lsdoctor.py -t
Provide the password for your SSO administrator account
After the fix script completes, restart all the services using command:
service-control --stop --all
service-control --start --all
