It's possible to downgrade firmware version with a tool called [https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/modoru/releases modoru]. There are no homebrew solutions (and thus downgrading methods) for firmwares 3.69 and higher at this time, but there's an [https://twitter.com/theflow0/status/1085100038840377346 upcoming one] for versions 3.69 and 3.70, planned for 2019.
