Hi, please explain further what's your problem.

What motherboard do you have ?

Sorry for the late reply, I have a UM2 board with the oled display and display controller board. I am trying to use the files from youmagine that are inked to github and there is firmware there. However, this is where my problem starts. I am just not sure which file to use and even if someone told me that I couldn't figure out how to install UM2 marlin. Anyone please help.

Here is the link to the files https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2Marlin

Normally if it's really an UltiBoard and it's recognized as it by your computer ( I mean your COM port is well displayed), you should be able to just go to Cura and then click on "Machine" menu in the top and "install default firmware".

This should take the UM marlin firmware file from CURA repertory and inject it right to the mobo

Do you have a china clone board that doesn't have the 2 black jumpers on safety 1/2 ?

I have no idea what you mean but I bought this one. http://m.ebay.ca/itm/Ultimaker-2-Kit-Ultimaker-V2-1-1-Controller-Board-OLED-Display-Adapter-/262125201657?nav=SEARCH

So 00D00B, do I open Cura once I get the right Com port and install the marlin from there instead of using git hub files?

Yeah that's a china clone.

Can you check if on the connection 'safety 1' & 'safety 2' you have 2 black jumpers?

Check safety first !

Yes I have the black jumpers

I'm just wondering if the board would work without the jumpers because my friend is building a um 2 and it occurred to me that he doesn't have the jumpers?
