lol. You probably have the wrong firmware. The UM2 and the UM2+ feeders run in opposite directions. So you probably got the wrong firmware. Also do a "factory reset" as sometimes when you downgrade or cross-grade the firmware it doesn't carry forward the eeprom values and a "factory reset" fixes this so that you have the correct directions for all the extruders.
ALSO
Seriously consider getting the tinker firmware instead of the Ultimaker version. The tinker version is much better with amazing features like the ability to reverse the feeder without installing different firmware and the ability to continue a failed print and much more.
You have probably flashed the wrong firmware, ie the firmware for the UM 2+ instead of the UM 2. Flash the proper firmware for your printertype and it should work correctly again.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

I really appreciate your responses, but I'm still not getting this too work.
first I reset the unit to factory resets - still backwards
second I redownloaded and reloaded U2 firmware - still backwards
third As a test I downloaded U2+ to see if that reverses the extruder - still backwards
Fourth I tried the marlin alternative firmware - still backwards
Fifth.....I don't know. I'm getting the firmware from github....I assume that is the right location.
Any ideas are appreciated
