How can I revert to 1.0.7?

Sailfish OS 1.0.8 is a step back regarding usability:

  • Continuous system shut-downs (i.e. system shuts down for no apparent reason, battery charged >90%, restart using the button to the right, re-shutdown briefly after entering lock-screen code and SIM PIN).
  • Internet connection selector (WLAN/mobile) is continuously overlaying the current app, when refused to connect it reappears within seconds.
  • My favorite navigation app is most of the time off track or lagging by 100 ... 200 m.

... and now holiday/travel season is starting with limited internet access abroad.

Therefore I would like to return to Sailfish OS 1.0.7 -- but how is this possible? Would a total system reset (last entry in Settings list) allow me to select Sailfish OS 1.0.7 as destination version?

(For me, 1.0.7 has been the most stable and usable version so far – although the contrast/readability issue has not been solved so far, but also not in 1.0.8.)
