Downgrade from R17 to R16

I’ve got a mangOH Yellow board that I upgraded to R17. I really want to put it back to an R16 release but it is not letting me do that. Is there any way to overcome this problem?

No, I don’t think so, here says you cannot do this:

Probably you need to take another module for your testing
