I just upgraded to Lulzbot Cura 3.6.4 (Ver 4 was not compatible with my mini) and went through all the steps. I recorded Z offset and E steps updated the firmware and reset the Z offset no problem. But when it comes to the E steps nothing happens.  
I’m issuing the follow commands  
**M503**  
_Stepper Motor currents_  
_M907 X1300 Z1630 E1250_  
**M92 E833**  
**M500**  
_Settings Stored_  
**M503**  
and i get the same _M907 X1300 Z1630 E1250_  
Shouldn’t the E1250 change to E833?

Old versions of Marlin used M503 to report steps/mm. Current versions use it to report the stepper motor current.

If you issue M92 without any parameters, you’ll get the saved steps/mm.
