Now that a new version of TWRP is out, I'll ask again: What is the point of having the Universal Bootloader flash that old TWRP version? Is it necessary for something? Does it really need to even flash TWRP, given that you'll flash it from TWRP, probably a new version? This just complicates things for everyone as it is.

What would be nice is that the Universal Bootloader failed if it detected that your TWRP is anything older than 3.1.1 (or 3.2) prompting you to update if possible.
@Unjustified Dev I'd only like to know. Hope you read this

I'll always use my adapted B15 with TWRP 3.1.1.0 in it. Does the same. Had no problem so far.

Hello all,
ATTENTION: I used new TWRP 3.2.0-0 to backup, all is OK. But I got problem using it to restore : there is no progression messages, and the animated progression bar remains empty. I waited for > 30 minutes then gave up. Fortunately by constantly pressing Power off button I succeeded to power off then restart the phone, then within the 5 seconds where you can choose normal boot, recovery, fastboot etc... I can enter recovery (TWRP). Then I reflash the old good TWRP 3.1.1-0, rebooto recovery, and fortunately it can handle the backup maded by TWRP 3.2.0-0 ! By the way, the cheksum (digest) used by TWRP 3.2.0-0 is sha2 instead of md5 as used by TWRP 3.1.1-0.

Currently I did not recommend using TWRP 3.2.0-0.

Im gonna check that too.Good to mention. Perhaps you open a topic about that ;)
EDIT 1 : did a small backup (boot, modem, recovery) : no problem to backup or restore
EDIT 2 : taking a full system now of my aroma MF5..backup ok and restore also ok : NO PROBLEM for me on TWRP 3.2.0.0

Thank you for your report on TWRP 3.2.0-0. My phone needs password after entering TWRP since I set security with finger print (which requires setting PIN password).. The decrypting phase is OK, and all partitions are mounted by TWRP. But at start of restore, I got my problem as described. Maybe another user which password-protected phone could try to check again?

Better open up a topic perhaps? Hope you get it working. Question though : on 3110, did those steps work ok?

You don't need to select pin on startup to use a pattern and the fingerprint. Just saying.

First of all - thanks for your work uploading all of these!

Is there a guide on how to go back to stock and relock the bootloader with these system images? I tried unpacking them and flashing them with MiFlash in EDL but that didn't work (got an error saying that sending the hello package didnt work). I guess I cannot just flash them via TWRP, can I?
