After you have installed TWRP via adb you must boot (or stay there) into revocery and falsh the twrp-xxxx.img as "revocery" (buton down right to change from image to recovery).

Try this:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-xxxx.img
fastboot.exe boot twrp-xxxx.img (same filename as above)
Then flash the same twrp-xxx.img file via "install"
After this you can direct boot into revocery with apps like quickboot, or via Vol-Down, Power-On, or direkt via reboot meneu if you use G4 Tweak Box.
If you are on 6.0 the recovery will never boot up. But don't worry, all you need to do is just download kernel package like SimpleGX, from this package copy the boot.img, then flash it via fastboot. After that let the phone boot up, reboot it to bootloader again and flash twrp.img. If you did it properly the twrp will boot up. REMEMBER to flash full kernel package otherwise you can have problems with your device.

Never flash recovery for H811 on H815, there is reason why they are different.. You could have bricked your device. Yes flashing this boot.img is completely safe as long as you flash full package later, otherwise you might have problems with software. I've done so many times without any issue, anyway it's not a softbrick, you always reflash the firmware however be aware of that if you do it wrong and get your phone bricked without access to custom recovery there is no way to recovery your data. My G4 is dead but this is caused by the well know bootloop issue (hardware fail).

Thanks for the quick answer... I got a replacement and it ships with v20d twrp for h811 was the only solution to get root... Now i have seen your post... Will try it later... I hope it works
Do you know the reason why we have to flash the kernel? Some poeple can flash twrp without...
edit: i have flashed the kernel but flashing twrp dont want to flash...
the result of fastboot is positive but if i want to boot in recovery the screen stays black and then the phone boots up normal to os...
woult it help to kdz the phone to lolipop?

Install Twrp Manager from the Play Store and then install Twrp 2.8.7.0 from it.
It's working fine on my H815 v20d

I have no idea how did you manage to install TWRP recovery on official 6.0 firmware since TWRP manager requires root and to root android 6.0 you have to have modified boot image...

As I mentioned above in android 6.0 google have modified it as the stock kernel does not allow to use unsigned stuff even though your bootloader is unlocked. So only way to root/install recovery on android 6.0 smartphones is to flash modified boot.img that allows to load unsigned things. If you flash recovery without changing stock kernel you'll not brick your device but the recovery will never open, but flashing superSU might brick your device, Autoprimes flashable zips include modified boot.img I suppose.

i have no more idea what to do... i have flashed the kernel... and then recovery but when i want to enter recovery nothing happens it doesnt load. after some seconds the phone boots up normal.
before that i have tried twrp manager but the app crashes every time i want to select the recovery to install.
flashify is same as flashing over fastboot.
what is the difference between the 2 versions of twrp? h811 got another kernel than h815 but why can i load this one but the right for h815 not?

I have no idea honestly, try to reflash the firmware. Recovery doesn't load only if you don't flash boot.img properly.

how do u unlock the bootloader on a LG G4 H811 ver 20i
I was on OOS community build 3.5.3 with modified twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.
I wiped everything except internal storage after that I tried to flash official TWRP.
After installing official twrp via modified TWRP. Niether I can boot into my recovery nor able to install any recovery via fastboot.
it I use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
after installing recovery with this command My bootloader get stuck then I have to again restart my bootloader.
please help
You're probably stil on 3.5.2 firmware which isnt compatible with official twrp. Try and get into fastboot and try flashing modified twrp again. Then reboot in recovery and flash 3.2.6 firmware (not the rom) from modified twrp. Then reboot and flash official twrp from recovery or in flashify app.
i had this problem the other day, fixed this by flashing the modified recovery from a post here turn it off the booted it up by holding vol down + power and somehow it worked i was able to go into twrp

Here's the deal. I unlocked the bootloader of my OnePlus 3, flashed TWRP Recovery with "Tool All In One" through my pc. Then I was able to root my phone, I did it and then, flashed the Open Beta 9 through TWRP.
Now the problem I have now is that I'm unable to flash TWRP from my computer and I don't know why. It doesn't display any error or anything else. But when I boot into recovery mode, it is not TWRP, it's the stock one. Help me out. I want root and Xposed lol!
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
into recovery Vol Plus and Power
flash SU
beta9 is Nougat so xposed is not working yet.

You need adb and Fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979&page=95
On The Fastboot PATH
Same directory, Put twrp.img
Shift and Right Mouse.Open cmd and type
fastboot flash recovery "twrp file name.img"
You can get TWRP.
I recommend TWRP .28
After you can flash any Rom and Kernel , SU etc...
You need modified TWRP Recovery to Run Open Beta 9, official TWRP won't work
Here's the link for Modified TWRP

Just flash magisk.zip with recovery and everything would be ok. So install now magisk.zip and after that go to twrp and flash and you're done.
1. Flash recovery via PC
2. After flash recovery unplug cable than MANUALY (dont use pc command in cmd!!!!) restart into recovery (in fastboot use volume +/- button)
3. Flash Magisk
4. Reboot to recovery
5. Done
Ok. Guys my mandatory 720hrs of waiting will be up in a week. So can anyone guide me regarding flashing twrp on this device in a permanent fashion. I intend to stay on the current miui10.8.20 latest beta as I find it perfectly useable, however I do wanna use gcam ( plz guide on that as well). And one last thing, can I update to any latest official beta available through ota. ( Will it relock my device?) Or will I only lose twrp which I persume I can flash again.
Xiaomi phones have a real typical root method. I am not new to rooting at all but kindly help me through this.
One last thing.. any recommendations for miui based custom ROMs?
My device is the global variant of note 5.
Flashing twrp : put your device in fastboot mode and enter these fastboot commands
fastboot boot twrp.img
Now copy twrp.img to internal storage
From twrp recovery install twrp.img this will permanently flash twrp recovery
Follow google camera mod thread
Yes you can flash OTA update using twrp recovery and it won't lock bootloader
Just flash magisk for rooting
