With difficulty. While you can install older firmware, Kobo does not support it. And the older firmware cannot be used if you are using the Kobo store, and it is difficult if you want to use WiFi.
The real question is why do you want to do this? What is it you think you are going to get by sticking with old firmware on a device you have never used? And, using the original factory firmware is the worst idea ever. These always have issues. They work, but, the real intention of them is to allow the device to work until they can get the latest firmware. And there is always an update available when a new device becomes available.
As to the method to install older firmware, it is such a commonly discussed topic, that it is easy to find in a search. As is setting up a new device and not updating the firmware. Or installing a particular version of the firmware. Or avoiding the setup process altogether.
And for the record, there is absolutely no way I would use the factory firmware that is on a Glo for longer than it took me to update it. I think there might be one thing nice in it that isn't in current firmware, and I'm not sure about that. The earliest firmware I would even consider for any Kobo device is 3.19. But, even as much as I liked that version of the home screen, there are to many other improvements in later firmware that I can't give up.
You should let the device update and use the latest firmware. If you don't like it, you can always go back to an older firmware.
