I up graded the hot end, upgraded to the Eddie probe and never could get consistency. Upgraded to a graphite bed. Now I’m on firmware 2.5 and I flashed the latest BIN files to the system board and the tool head. Here’s where I’m at now. Stupidly I went on a rampage with ChatGPT to rewrite the configurations to a more modular maybe Voron like structure. Unfortunately, because I wasn’t explicit enough with ChatGPT I ended up losing a lot of functionality, and my backups of the original configuration were lost. How can I return to the original configurations? ---

Hi, Maybe take a look there: > **[SV08](https://wiki.sovol3d.com/en/SV08)** ---

So I think I just need to copy these files back to the printer and then maybe run the successive upgrades to update the macros? ---

As for me, I would reflash the latest firmware to restore the original settings ---

There are back-up copies of all the original configuration files stored in the printer. Run “Factory Reset” from the knob screen. The script is 2 lines. ```auto #!/bin/bash cp -p /home/sovol/patch/config/*.cfg /home/sovol/printer_data/config/ python3 /home/sovol/restart_firmware.py ``` ---

I ran the factory reset from the sovol menu but it didn’t seem to get everything back, the only thing I could tell that it did was restored the printer dot CFG. ---

A huge thing for me is that I can’t get the live Z adjust back. I’m unable to successfully complete any Eddie calibration yeah this was a dumb project. ---

Ok I assumed the upgrade updated the back-up folder. Apparently not. Here are the config folders extracted from the eddy upgrade package, SV08 Eddy current kit firmware- v2.5.0 [4mm.zip](https://forum.sovol3d.com/uploads/short-url/eD33pW5WFhTHc1U0Q97wIfLTAvz.zip) (12.2 KB) [3mm.zip](https://forum.sovol3d.com/uploads/short-url/7eTc6HbDyWYksq0Qqe9UQXDgNSv.zip) (12.2 KB) ---

Yeah I appreciate your efforts. I got those and I did run the dot Deb file to do the upgrade. Should doing the upgrade restore the configuration? ---

> [@jluvs2ride](#): > > Should doing the upgrade restore the configuration? Yes it should. NOTE: the .deb file is an “overlay”. It overwrites files with exact filename matches. If you created files with filenames different than the original they will still be there BUT the original .cfg should just ignore them. ---

OK, this seems to be the way. I’m going to reapply this and see what I get. Thanks! ---

> [@jluvs2ride](#): > > I went on a rampage with ChatGPT FYI the overlay upgrade won’t fix Linux problems. Did chat GPT have you working in a SSH terminal tweaking system settings? To fix that you’ll have to pull the EMMC and reimage the whole thing then run the upgrade. ---

No, just modifying .cfg files. ---
