I have been trying to install twrp on my new lgv10. I have oem unlocked and I did the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and then "fastboot boot recovery.img". This boots up twrp recovery, but when I reboot and go back to recovery with "adb reboot recovery" it shows me the fastboot instructions again. How can I get twrp to stay as my recovery? Also, I can't boot recovery from the phone itself it only works from adb. Whenever I try holding the power and volume it just keeps doing the reboot animation over and over.

I downloaded the twrp .img from the official website and flashed it using 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' and everything was shown Okay in cmd. Then I did 'fastboot reboot' and then after phone rebooted I went to recovery mode using volume up and power button but there was no TWRP there, only stock recovery was there. What went wrong? I flashed many times but same result
I had the same result like yours several weeks ago. And finally choose another method to install TWRP. Try below thread , it is easier.

Your stock rom is replacing stock recovery every time you boot it.
TWRP needs a modified boot image flashed to make it permanent when used with official roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...official-twrp-3-0-2-0-recovery-redmi-t3352966
If you don't have the modified boot, make sure to boot into TWRP first after flashing it.
Handy way to get TWRP booted is to temporarily boot it using "fastboot boot <name of twrp.img>"
Once booted this way, use it to flash the TWRP image, then reboot into TWRP recovery you just flashed.
Once I had that done, after making a backup, I flashed a custom rom (xiaomi.eu) and TWRP remained permanent for me.
If your wanting to stay on an official rom, see this thread which has an Universal Boot Img Patcher.

2. DO NOT install the official, unmodified TWRP...
select a TWRP from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708
I Used the cofface TWRP
3. COPY Twrp.img to internal storage.....
fastboot boot TWRP.img
4. TWRP boots automatically... Press the button on Right to change device language....
Swipe right to allow modifications
5. Go to install... > flash Image. select TWRP.img
tap on reboot.... somewhere there, you will be asked to
1. install SuperSU
2. prevent phone from reverting to original recovery...
Swipe right on both.
Cheers!
When you do the "fastboot reboot" command, you should right away , press the volume + and power buttons together, so the phone boots into TWRP and not into the system. If you just execute the command and let it go , the stock recovery overwrites TWRP.
after entering "fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG" don't reboot and don't entre "fastboot reboot"....you have to directly press power + vol up...you will able to boot into twrp
RN3P Kenzo, ROM is Global Dev 6.8.18.
I unlocked the bootloader officially (using the code and the MiFlashUnlock tool). I then used ADB to flash Cofface TWRP which did not work. These are the steps I used:
First I booted into fastboot.
Then I did this in Minimal ADB 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'.
The message was
sending 'recovery'
OKAY
writing 'recovery'
OKAY
finished.
Next I did 'fastboot reboot'.
Then I tried to get into TWRP recovery using the MIUI update app. Didn't work. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Try this, "fastboot boot twrp.img" NOT fastboot flash boot, just "fastboot boot twrp.img"

OK. It boots into TWRP. But my question is, will I have to use "fastboot boot twrp.img" every time to boot into TWRP? That would be a hassle, but if that's the only way, I'll just deal with it.
Thanks though, it was nice to know the recovery image was working.

No. You dont need to fastboot everytime. As you once booted into TWRP from "fastboot boot twrp.img" your recovery is perminantly TWRP. You can boot into by pressing the key combination or from the updater app..
Happy Flashing
Try fastboot reboot recovery but if not boot into recovery don't boot into system and reboot recovery via key combination. If you reboot system stock recovery erase twrp.
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

"fastboot reboot" hold volume up until you see mi logo
Wipe:
/data
Then flash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/modified-twrp-deleting-emmcappsboot-t3371667
@Up disables dm-verity and encryption on /data partition[that's why we wipe it inorder to format it].

B) Prevent TWRP From Getting Over-written
After the TWRP gets flashed, disconnect the cable from the phone.
Hold power button + volume up buttons till phone gets restarted.
When the Mi Logo shows up, release the power button & keep holding the volume up button.
Release the Volume Up button after TWRP logo shows up.
If the language is in Chinese, select the right box, & select English.
Check the box & swipe to allow modifications.
it worked for me
I just wanted to know... If I ran "fastboot boot recovery.img", this would merely boot the recovery image and not install it right? And to boot into system I would just have to "fastboot reboot" right?
fastboot boot recovery.img (Boot into recovery)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (install twrp recovery)

yup, thats right. that boot command can be used to perform some quick commands, like resetting etc.
So if I want to keep my stock recovery I can just use "fastboot boot recovery.img" Is that correct?

Yes you are correct this command will just open your currently installed recovery but to flash the recovery you'll have to use the following command
Fastboot flash recovery recovery recovery_name.img
I can't enter into TWRP through "vol up + power", I only can using "fastboot boot recovery_name.img", but this brick my phone when I do. The command "adb reboot recovery" goes to stock recovery "MI Recovery 3.0" and not to TWRP. What can I do?
