I heard in the past that could be a problem... I'm on latest TWRP version (3.2.1.0)

So, I've decided I'm going to use ROM Manager to flash a previous version of CWM (2.5.1.4). I'm currently running the 3.0.0.2 but feel stuck from all the reports I've been reading about the latest version not being compatible with older hboot and partitions. I'm scared to do anything...
Anyways, while in 3.0.0.0 I did a back up. Is this going to be compatible with the older version or should I do another one after flashing back?
Also, I don't remember it actually saying "nandroid". It just said "backup". This is the same I'm assuming as it took quite a while to do???
Ok, never mind. Apparently I'm trying to flash that older version and it keeps coming back with an error.
Worked for me.
I restore a 2.x.x backup trough 3.x.x and had CWM 2.x.x then after I backed up some apps with titanium backup I went back to the rom I backed up with 3.x.x and all went fine.
Little confusing but yes I believe you can.

If you want 2.5 again go to post #7 in this thread. Put the file on your sd and power down into bootloader. It will scan the card then ask if you want to update, hit volume up for yes and you're done. Thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894227
Sweet!!! I just flashed back to the older 2.5.x.x CWM and then flashed a ROM with no problems at all. The only thing that's weird is that ROM Manager still says I have CWM 3.0.0.2.
As of yesterday (3-29), my CWM backup dates are correct! Did not flash new version, it just started working.
I'm on version 6.0.3.0.
Anybody else have this good fortune?
Because I can't post in the development forum where I found the TWRP 2.6.3 upgrade announce, so I post here for help.
Before I upgraded to TWRP2.6.3 from 2.6.0, I did a full backup. After the upgrade, I flashed a ROM and regretted and would like to go back to my previous ROM. Unfortunately the new TWRP2.6.3 could not find any of my backup made by previous version. I used the 2.6.3 to make a backup, it found it fine.
Any suggestion/idea?
Thanks.

Roll back to 2.6.0?
I'm on the unofficial CM 12.1 build and went back to my stock rom after a full factory reset and it restored fine but when going back to my custom rom backed up by TWRP 2.8.7.0 and restored using newer 3.0 version most of my apps were missing along with my browser website links folder as well. The stock rom I restored was also one from the older TWRP version restored by the newer 3.0 version and it worked fine. This is the first nandroid restore I've ever done that didn't just restore it exactly like I left it and it has me a bit worried.
When I flashed the new TWRP 3.0 and tried to do a current backup it failed saying my system was set to read only. I changed this in TWRP's settings and the backup worked but I don't remember this system RW change being an issue with the older version. Are these changes meant for Marshmallow's more restrictive firmware and just tweaks we will have to make on older lollipop roms ?
Hi guys,
I updated to Nougat and flashed the OxygenOS 4.1.6. Everything worked fine but I miss xposed too much so i wanted to go back to Marshmallow. No matter if I restore my newest 6.1 backup or my old Nandroid backup in twrp or flash any other ROM, my op3 always stucks in the bootscreen with the Oneplus logo now and nothing happens. Just when I flash the 4.1.6 zip again, the phone starts and works well.
Does anyone have an idea how i could restore one of my backups or flash any Oxygen 3.x ROM?
Many, many thanks for your help!
Save your backup off your phone, then clean flash whichever version of OOS you want to downgrade to. Once you can boot into OOS again, restore your old backup.
