Hi,my friend
Don't worry.
1.About the wrong direction,cuz you use M201 and its motherboard is GTM32,so you can change the directiong in LCD controller panel.Follow this:
Control-> printer settings-> X/Y/Z/E motor direction
and then remember to save it here:
control -> store memory
2.About the latest firmware for M201,it is GTM32_V1.0.5.You can download it from here:

Thanks William, I got new problem. Z-motors can't rotate and take the extruder carriage up/down. When I click on Z-homing, the motors create sound but can't rotate the lead screws. I checked the wiring and seems these are okay. Just one thing to mention, my X, Y and Z all motors are the same size and little bit smaller than what I have with my other Geeetech Pro C printer. Is it something that, I didn't receive the perfect motors? Here is the Z-motors spec I got with this M201 printer kit. Please check it and help me out to make it fully operational. Thank you very much.
The motor spec is 42SHD0034-20B.

I don't think it's the motor problem.
In some cases z axis motor won't run because the hole on the top plate for z thread rod is too tight,
I think you can remove the top plate and see if the motor will run, if so, I think the tightness of the hole is not proper,
you can get a 5/16" drill bit and using a precision drill to drill a straight and accurate hole,
or you can print this for top palte:
