I've read a ton of threads (over on XDA) on the problem of TWRP failing flash, but no help. Maybe I've missed something?? I'm now so frustrated that I did NOT search on this forum before posting this; sorry. I'm beginning to think (as others have) that XDA has gotten "uppity" since my posts over there are mostly unanswered.
My phone is a US996 (unbranded) and I unlocked it (successfully) via LG's procedure. My only "need" is to install TWRP and root the US996. No need for anything more, at least right now.
Anyhow, I enter FB mode on the phone and then on PC I Issue "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", the DOS window reports everything OK; I pull the battery but in no way can I get into TWRP it just boots regularly no matter what buttons I hold down in any sequence.
Studied the thread attached intently, but no help.
Ideas, anyone??

Boowho??
P.S. Anyone have the stock boot image for this phone? Magisk needs it to patch and then flash. I've been unable to find it and yes, I have searched this forum
