+I know all that is a bit confusing and may not make sense to anyone other than myself. Basically if you have a Select Mini V2 or V1 that has the UI seen in the picture, don't update the firmware. \\

-  - Copy any version "update.bin" firmware file from the firmware folder to the SD card.
-  - Create an empty file named "fcupdate.flg" and copy to the SD card.

+Do you have a black screen after falling victim to updating the firmware after watching a video or maybe you outright ignored the warnings? You can contact me in one of the following online community groups so that we may schedule a time to get your printers display back to the way Monoprice intended it to be. \\

+//(This is only a temporary fix. When the V1's have definitely stopped shipping and fully tested firmware for the V2 is released, this process will not need to be done.)//</wrap>

+<wrap hi>//Note: If you have trouble updating, please format microSD card or use another microSD card and try again. Try a microSD card that is 4GB or less formatted with FAT. The printer can be picky at which cards it will update from so try a few cards.//</wrap>
+=== The recovery method can be used as follows: ===
+  - Copy any version of "update.bin" Motion Controller firmware file to the root of the microSD card.
+  - Copy the file named "fcupdate.flg" file to the root of the microSD card. If this file is missing it can be derived a few different ways listed below.
+      * Creating a file and name it "fcupdate.flg"
+      * Copying an existing file from your computer and rename it to "fcupdate.flg"
+      * Downloading from [[http://f.mpselectmini.com|MP Select Mini Share - Google Drive]]  //Firmware// >> //Individual// >> //Motion// >> //**fcupdate.flg**//
+  - Put the microSD card in the printers microSD card slot/reader.
   - Power on the printer. When the printer is powered on, it will force the update.
-  - **IMPORTANT:** After successfully updating, remove the SD Card and delete the "fcupdate.flg" file. You may also delete the "update.bin".
+  - **IMPORTANT:**  After successfully updating, remove microSD Card and delete the "fcupdate.flg" file. You may also delete the "update.bin" file. \\ <wrap hi>//(If flashing to a different version then follow the steps below)//</wrap>
+  - Export/Save any calibration you have done as the next step will erase/reset everything back to defaults.
+  - Reset EEPROM using “M502” and save EEPROM using “M500” \\ Need help on how to send these commands? See [[:g-code#sending_g-code|Sending G-code]]
