Recover HTC 8s from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows Phone 8.0

Hi,

is there a way to recover my old HTC 8s from Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 to Windows Phone 8. I have the Developer Preview installed.

Thanks

Your only hope, may be to:
- turn OFF & uninstall Preview for Developers
- perform a hard reset SETTINGS >> ABOUT >> reset your Phone - see where it brings you back to, before signing in !
- IF you search HTC 8s Service Manual, you may find (in the manual) a hardware key combo to perform a hard reset - this existed for Lumia devices, don't know about HTC (don't know if there is any difference in where you go back to)

short of this, you could flash your phone with older software, the inherent risk is bricking your device.

I have factory reset my phone multiple times and uninstalled the app. Uncomfortably, it has always the same software state. I think it's a good idea to flash the phone, but there aren't any roms for it. Do you have a link?

Thanks
