Did you reinstall KUAL after that firmware update?
As for downgrade in cases where you don't have working KUAL but still have functional " ;log runme" search bar command read this topic:

It comes down to instruction to use
this RUNME.sh script to prepare for downgrade by doing that necessary version number edit. And then over USB cable copy the old firmware and then forceing a device reboot
without first ejecting / unmounting from computer .
