Wrong Firmware flashed

There is a reason why people don't flash printer firmware at 3a.m. way to late/early to concentrate. Anyways I have a mk3 that I was updating the firmware to ver. 3.5.3 it looks like I flashed it with 3.5.3 for the mk3/s. Now its giving me errors that I need to run the calibrate Z I run the calibration and it tells me to run it again and again. The printer was OK with all of the calibrations I was just having problems with the extruder clicking and not feeding correctly. That's the reason for the firmware flash to make sure the printer was up to date.
The long and shot of it is I messed up and need to put the proper firmware back. I know there is a reset button will that get me where I need to be to reload proper firmware? I don't think I can just reload the proper firmware on top of the old one that would be to easy so I'm sure not the proper way. Instead of me guessing hopefully someone can lead me in the right direction. Thank you in advance for your help.

Why not just try it? Can't do any harm now, and it'll probably just work...

Re: Wrong Firmware flashed

I did the same thing, flashing, The printer booted up but warned of it being the new MK3S printer.
I just went and re-flashed the older version and all was fine

Did the same yesterday. The printer issued a warning that all settings were lost. I re-flashed with the correct version and got the same warning again. The printer went through the first time calibration (XYZ and Live-Z) without issue. Re-did ECOR and PID tuning and all is well. A quick extrusion test shows all to be normal. Annoying disruption, but not a disaster.
