You can, yes, but things may not work afterwards. The PR1.1 update included a new version of the firmware for the GSM chipset. This isn't compatible with the previous firmware releases, so the GSM chipset will be disabled if you flash with those (the SIM card isn't recognised and no phone functions work).
