TWRP downgrade works but strangely.

Okay, many of us don't do this everyday but I flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 on my OPO and needed to go back to 2.8.6.0 to use jgcaap's MM build.

So i tried flashing 2.8.6.0 img file from 3.0.2 and guess what happened? No. It didn't downgrade it self, instead I lost my recovery. My phone rebooted straight to system after being stuck on Bootlogo for a while. So I flash the recovery AGAIN via fastboot, flashify, RashR, Flashfire, Mobile Terminal whatever I could think of. But nope, same result whatsoever. Flashing other recoveries doesn't work either. Same errors return.

Then I thought of flashing 3.0.0.0 instead of 2.8.6.0 and yes, flashing 3.0.0.0 from 3.0.2.0 worked indeed. Then I started to download all the recovery files till 2.8.6.0 and started flashing them one after another, step by step climbing down the number and it kept downgrading but ONE version down at a time, if I try to skip it returns the same bs as before. Then flashing down until I reached 2.8.6.0 and then flashed that too via RashR. And surprise! Surorise! The recovery version I needed was not working. It would be flashed then the recovery would disappear and it would go into a no recovery state like before again. Then I'd flash 2.8.6.1 and get recovery back. And now finally after all the endeavor I'm on 2.8.6.1.

Anybody might know the reason of this stupid anomaly? And why it doesn't work?

And also why I can't flash ANY OTHER recovery?
