for the old windows phones, windows device recovery tool takes you to 8.1 and then you have to climb back up

Try this: Use the insider app and choose production release. It's the same as the oficial one.

That won't work because you can only go to higher numbered builds, and production is lower numbered than Insider slow or fast. The only way to go back to a lower numbered build is to use the recovery tool.

I changed mine from preview to production. Everything worked well. Maybe it worked because of same version?

If you tell us what build you are actually running, we could provide better information.
