NCE DCC controllers has a "recovery program", just to recover "insane" decoders. Anybody knows how it works, and the difference than just to "reset" the decoder?. Thanks.
It is right in the NCE manual. If all else fails, follow instructions. It is called reseting a decoder to factory specs. CV8, enter 8.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
It's not the CV8=8. There is a mode where you can access to make it try all of the known reset values.

What's the difference between all of this stuff and setting the value of CV30 to 2 ?

Not every decoder resets with CV30=2. Some are CV8=8, and there are some other options. It also sounds liek this recovery mode does a little more than just reset the decoders, since it mentions setting some CVs to 'usable' values - whatever that means. Factory defaults are perfectly 'usable' - you can controlt eh loco, and at least operate the headlights. Maybe your ditchlights won't flash, but the whole idea of doing a factory reset is to get all CVs into a known state. This is a good thing to do on every fresh decoder install BEFORE you attempt to program it.
