Narrative:
Took off with wrong flap settings. On taxi out; completed 'before takeoff checklist' down to manifest changes waiting for the final weights. We were expecting runway 32L at T10 requiring a flap 2 degree setting. We were given runway 4L on taxi out and needed new performance data along with still waiting for the final weights. Got the new performance data for runway 4L. The new runway required a new flap setting and made all the changes in the box but forgot to set the flaps to flaps 3 degrees even though it was now on the performance page. Forgot to run the 'before takeoff checklist' from the very beginning since we had new settings which would have caught the mistake. Takeoff was uneventful. Contributing factor was fatigue for my part. Had come into ord that morning on the all-nighter from ZZZ1 and departed ZZZ1 almost 2 hours late. Didn't get to the hotel room until XA30; asleep at XB00; and woke up XF30 (4.5 hours of sleep) and couldn't fall back asleep.

Narrative: TOOK OFF WITH WRONG FLAP SETTINGS. ON TAXI OUT; COMPLETED 'BEFORE TKOF CHKLIST' DOWN TO MANIFEST CHANGES WAITING FOR THE FINAL WTS. WE WERE EXPECTING RWY 32L AT T10 REQUIRING A FLAP 2 DEG SETTING. WE WERE GIVEN RWY 4L ON TAXI OUT AND NEEDED NEW PERFORMANCE DATA ALONG WITH STILL WAITING FOR THE FINAL WTS.

THE NEW RWY REQUIRED A NEW FLAP SETTING AND MADE ALL THE CHANGES IN THE BOX BUT FORGOT TO SET THE FLAPS TO FLAPS 3 DEGS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOW ON THE PERFORMANCE PAGE. FORGOT TO RUN THE 'BEFORE TKOF CHKLIST' FROM THE VERY BEGINNING SINCE WE HAD NEW SETTINGS WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE MISTAKE. TKOF WAS UNEVENTFUL. CONTRIBUTING FACTOR WAS FATIGUE FOR MY PART. HAD COME INTO ORD THAT MORNING ON THE ALL-NIGHTER FROM ZZZ1 AND DEPARTED ZZZ1 ALMOST 2 HRS LATE.
