[Q] Flashing older version of Windows Phone

[Ryukenden]

I have a Lumia 1520 RM-937 APAC HK YELLOW variant. Is there a possibility that i can flash older 8.0 version of windows phone os?

Every time i use recovery software, it gives me 8.1 version but i want to flash the version that the phone came with.

If the stock firmware is on NaviFirm you should be good. I'm not a Lumia user, so I can't confirm anything.
Take a look at this guide, which uses WPID instead of the Nokia tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515453

Yes, you can, in following the link that G.moe told you.
However, you can not go to a version lower than Lumia Black/WP8.0 GDR3.

@Ryukenden

In the tutorial, I says:

this software allows download only the latest version of the ROM on servers

If don't have NaviFirm+ in paid account, it is what happens. If you have NaviFirm+ in paid account, so you can DL any version (within the limits of device) of the ROM. If you do not want to pay for a premium account, then you can see here to the DL of the ROM. Once you've got the ROM (the FFU file), it'll just follow the tutorial ("Installation of the ROM" part).
