2 WAYS - Solve Epson Printers Stuck in Recovery Mode - Fix Firmware Error 

A collection of a few other models: bchtechnologies.com/blog/how-to-put-printers-in-firmware-recovery-update-mode/ If I missed some, please hit "Reply" and comment below. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this remedy! Also, I found that the first method actually worked for me. The shutdown on the printer doesn't happen automatically after the computer completes its update. The power button on the printer started to flicker a bunch of times and I just let it sit for like 5 minutes and it then shutdown on its own. When I turned the printer back on it started up! Thank you so much again for this tutorial video! Cheers!

Saludos. Encontré un canal honesto. Lo felicito su método me ayudó muchísimo. Gracias. Bogotá Colombia

Yo, the first method saved my life bro. Big shoutout from Brazil.

You helped me way more than Epson's tecnicals. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much man! I had this problem and I was able to solve this with your advices.

This was on spot for me! It solved my problem quickly!

Hello Mr Kevin! I have an Epson XP-310 with the same problem and no way to access the printer for a firmware update. Is there a similar method as the second one in the video? Thanks for your reply.

Hi I've got an epson l555 ecotank that's stuck in recovery mode after there was a crash whilst the firmware was updating, it doesn't have the home key, is there another way? Epson are extremely unhelpful and basically told me to buy another, any help much appreciated

You are awesome! Thanks so much, you saved my sanity!!

Hi there! good afternoon, excuse me to reinstall the firmware of the Epson L6171 printer, do you follow the same steps? or is it another configuration? Thanks

Thank you so much for this VDO

Thanks so much, this solves my problem with the first method

Kevin, I have the new Epson ET-4760 with ink tanks. It does not have an "orange" button on the front of the printer in order to do the "4-finger" second method you described. How do I fix this new printer stuck in Recovery Mode?

This also worked for my ET-4750! You do have to wait 5-10 minutes for it to automatically shut down after the firmware update, it won't change immediately.

Will this work for Epson Et-15000? Or what button to press on the Epson15000 printer. Its only has power, home, and help button on it.

method one worked omg you're a life saver!!

thank you very much this video helped me a lot with the first option I LOVE YOU THANK YOU ❤️

thank you Kevin at BCH, you helped make my tech illiterate mum happy 👍

Method 1 worked.... Thank you!!

Hi Keven. Great vid. Do you have to combination for aan Epson ET 3700 thats stuck on Recovery Mode? Cheers Arthur

Thank you so much for your video!

thank you so much, fixed my printer.

Hey Kevin, I have WF 4740, and my printer is stuck on the boot screen. Firmware upgrade doesnt work and it doesnt have a reset button except the power button. are you familiar with how to fix this? is there a hard reset of the software on this printer somehow?

Φίλε, ευχαριστούμε πολύ. Το έφτιαξα!!!

Hello ! Thank you for your method video , could you please tell me if it also works with Mac 10.13 ? I followed your methods but the printer shows DATA File is not found .

I figured out myself how to solve this, but starting here. The printer I have is a EPSON L475, the pattern to reach Update Mode was different. There is 3 patterns in total for different models. For me was Cancel+Left+Home+Power. I succeded at installing Firmware but nothing changed. After a lot of experimenting I tried something specific. I picked up an old machine with Windows 7, then I ran the Adjust Program for my printer with compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3 and finally I applied a "Initial Config". After all of that the printer is usable again 😁👍

Thanks this was really helpful

Thanks Bro BIG THanks!

It works, thank you very much!

Hello, I have a Epson Artisan 835. The unit will power on and start the startup sequence, however stops about 15 seconds into the start up and shuts down. The menu, display/crop, back button and home button flashes. I’m not sure what that means and was hoping you can help. Epson tech support was useless. Thank you.

YES THIS WORKED FOR MY ET-4760!!! YOU ARE AN ANGEL!

Thank you so much the first method worked I am so relieved

Hi! Help please. How to do the 2nd method in L5190? Also, for the 1st method, the firmware update is not appearing on my computer. I think the firmware update on my computer was completed but in the printer is not. 😭😭

Hey Kevin. I’m trying to use the second method now with my WF7720 but the computer can’t find the printer (connected by the same cord they were 10 mins ago which caused recovery mode incident). Is there any way to troubleshoot this? Screen on printer is showing ROM FIRMWARE UPDATE MODE FA07. Thank you in advance!!

The First method worked successfully

I have a epson expression home xp-4100 and can't get it to go into special Firmware Update Mode. It keeps coming up I need ink which I know. Is this interfering with it?

A friend of mine has the Epson L6570 printer and it is stuck on update mode but there are no firmware update files on Epson for this printer. Would you happen to know where he could download a firmware file to get out of this mode and fix his printer?

is there a method 2 for ET-3750? please help

Tried both methods, but nothing, it still is on recovery mode. My printer is a WF-2830 and need help ASAP.

How about the Epson ET-2760 Printer...? Thank you

Thank you so much. It worked!

Do you know how to force a WF-4734 into recovery mode ?

I accidently turned off the printer while it was on firmware update. now its not detecting through cable nor wifi. upon connecting ti iWIC its says Epson MFP-IPL (Service Mode). I dont knwo what to do

Thank you very much 😃

Hey, Kevin what should be the problem if the recovery firmware doesn't recognize the machine connected to USB? My Epson ET 4750 is in printer inspection mode and the recovery firmware doesn't recognize it as connected. When I connect an another working ET 4750 via the same USB, the recovery firmware recognizes it and it appears as available for downgrade.

Thank you

My Epson WF-2660 printer is stuck in inspection mode after firmware update. Haw can I turn it off? Thank you!

it did not worked on my L565, ive waited for like 5 hours and still no signs of any progress, is there anything i can do to fix it?

My man, thank you!!!!!

Let me start by thanking Kevin, if it wasn't for him, I'd probably just buy another printer. I have an Epson WF 2660 and I ran through "method two", three times before it worked. This is the second time I've had to fix my firmware update for Epson. Just like Kevin said in another video regarding Epson firmware updates, DO NOT UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE, nothing good can come out of it. I've learn my lesson for good now, no more updates. In fact, I will not install any of their software, I'll let Windows manager my printer instead, or try the chipless printing method (Kevin has another video on that, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eyGS7BnJozo.html. Thank you again for all you do, Kevin!

Hallo, I have a problem. I just bought an Epson xp 3200 series printer. I think I made a mistake during the installation process and now the printer is not working. The error is, there is Epson Device Recovery Mode Update Firmware written on the screen and I cannot do anything. What should I do? Can you help me?

It didn’t work for me. I’ve done everything in the video though I have a WF-2860 but even when everything goes correctly when I turn it off and turn it back on it goes right back into recovery mode

On my M2120, unfortunately, I have the same problem. I tried everything. I notice when I press the OK+ arrow down + power button it turns off. However, nothing happens when I power it on. Its firmware update problem is the same. Any suggestion for help in this matter would be appreciated, please.

How do I complete this with an Epson WorkForce WF-7720? Thanks...

can someone please HELP me!! both options don't work. the printer lcd keep saying ''ROM IS NOT WRITABLE'' when I try to install the software

I did the firmware upgrade and the printer automatically turned off like the instruction said for XP-446. I waited after it powered off and nothing. I tried powering it on, but only the power button light comes on, not the little screen that controls everything. The screen remains blacked out. Prior to upgrade from Epson website, it was working aka letting me know it's stuck in recovery mode. Please advise.

buen video

how about l565?
