According to the wiki page, you can rename the image files as
os999.img and os999.crc. Then the script will skip the version check.
I didn't follow this myself but manually 'nand-copy' an older version
image and then the install script works fine. So maybe you can try
again as you've gone back to the stable OS image (with 'nand-copy' I
guess).

I don't know why it's necessary and also feel quite troublesome to
have this "activation" procedure. Is it possible to skip it in the
future?
