You need to bring your old primary as standby first, then switchover
back to it - otherwise, you would have two primaries, no?

In general, pg_rewind is the only reasonable way to recover a failed
over primary other than by rebuilding it from scratch as a standby.

So if pg_rewind did not work, we would need more information, like what
command did you issue exactly and what was the output/error message?
