flashing twrp on lg g4 no error, but no twrp

Question

I'm trying to flash twrp to my lg g4. I've reached the part where I run 



fastboot flash recovery twrp.img


And everything seems to work fine, but when I try to enter recovery mode, I get the default lg recovery (restore factory mode options) and not twrp.

Here's what it prints out when I run the flash command:



target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (32060 KB)...  

OKAY [  0.827s]  

writing 'recovery'...  

OKAY [  0.341s]  

finished. total time: 1.168s


What am I doing wrong?

I tried doing it from a different computer and tried flashing older version of twrp.

Answer

I solved the issue..

Apparently, when you enter recovery mode, the phone asks you whether you'd like to do a factory reset, and you choose yes it boots into TWRP :)

Hope it helps someone.
