The way I downgrade firmware is:

1) Factory reset, after process is done and you select a language, you have two ways to connect the device Wifi and PC, connect via PC.
2) Extract the firmware files to .kobo folder, disconnect and unplug the USB cable, it will install the firmware.
3) Connect again via PC and copy the patch file KoboRoot.tgz with the patch 'Block WiFi firmware upgrade' enabled to .kobo folder, disconnect and unplug the USB cable, it will patch the firmware.
4) Connect via Wifi, and register, it will check for update and say "your device is up to date"
