I am having the same issues. My WF-7720 is stuck in recovery mode. When I try to downgrade the firmware there's a message on the screen that says ROM NOT WRITABLE and all the lights are flashing. If I unplug the printer and then power it back up it says RECOVERY MODE. I followed the steps over and over and I'm still in the same boat, stuck in recovery mode. Please help, please. I have to get my jobs done.
