If you uninstall a newer version of the ADK, and then install an older version of the ADK, then you have "installed" an older version of WinPE (as part of the ADK). This doesn't directly affect your ConfigMgr boot images, which it seems you're talking about. Boot images and WinPE images are two distinct concepts. A boot image is simply an object that points to a WinPE image on the filesystem, and contains some configuration data.
I'm a little confused why you had to downgrade the ADK in the first place . did the "hydration" process install the Windows 8.1 Update 1 ADK? Sorry, I don't readily recognize version numbers of the ADK, but rather the operating system that they map to.

You had the newer ADK for Update 1, so the R2 installer didn't find what it was expecting. That's my guess. I don't have an SP1 setup to try it against.

I went to mess with R2 and the upgrade process, and was forced to downgrade the ADK from ver 8.5 to 8.1. Did I miss the boat somewhere on something?!
