OK. I would like a little insight about the firmware, roboOS, Octoprint.

I am wanting to know more about each of these, particularly as to what each do? My roboOS is running the version 1.8.1-r2.1. I updated it that out of the box. What leads me to believe that I need to update the firmware is that I am missing a few of the wizards like the fine tune wizard and the bed calibration. My touchpanel screens also look considerably different than what I see in everyones posts. Is there a way to see your firmware version and what the current version is? I saw and tried to update the firmware to version posted here
https://help.robo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000722572-How-to-update-R2-firmware

but that does not work and causes my robo r2 to not boot until i reimage my SD card on my rasberry Pi.

 

Screens are determined by the RoboOS version and unrelated to firmware. Might want to take pictures of what you think isn't as you expect. Note that it's likely the opposite, with what you see posted being outdated becasue of having been taken months ago.

A RoboOS update done with the update button updates everything that should be updated to match. There is nothing you should need to do manually unless you want to tinker with specific stuff.

 

Here is my wizard screen. and file screen. I do not have any ability to sort the files like I have seen. I can not see update removing functionality.

 

I do NOT have the ability to sort like shown in this picture

 

This print screen has more information then my print screen. This screen shows set points for temp as well as a completion bar and
time left to print. Mine does not.
Here is my screen......

 

I do not even have this screen.

 

I found another issue. I can get printer to boot by loading backup image to the sd card, but if I turn the printer off it will not boot up any longer. I have to pull the sd card and reimage it with backup and then it will boot again. Something is corrupting the SD card.

Seems like your image might have been corrupted during the inital update before you backed it up, so you're always restoring a broken backup. Ask Robo for one.

That's why I did (and recommend doing) a backup before even powering it on initially (but of course since I did it I had no issue or need for it )
