So it means you are facing issue while applying service pack 4.2.6.1 and not during upgrade to 5.x I am sorry to say that being as community member I can't help you for enterprise version as I don't access for those binaries.

I request you to contact Alfresco support. Just for try by taking backup can you try upgrade directly to 5.x ?

Most of them I spoke to, says not to go directly to 5.1; reason being this 4.2.6.1 patch might have some security fixes.
If it is advisable, I can give a try. Nothing to lose, other than time, as it is dev environment.
