Hey guys,

I flashed TWRP via fastboot (I first renamed the TWRP file so it could be easier to type out in fastboot and I renamed it too recovery.img"
The two fastboot commands I used was:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

Now after that last command and before the phone boots up, I hold vol down + power than recovery and TWRP comes up just fine. In TWRP I reboot to power off than reboot back to recovery and again TWRP comes up just fine. In TWRP I reboot to system and power off the phone myself and than go into recovery and TWRP is gone and I get stock recovery. I have been searching Google and I cannot find a fix that works.
