LS980 can't install recovery

i'm trying to install a twrp recovery on the Sprint G2, but for some reason i can't and i can't figure out why,
i had 5.0.2 running and i couldn't root it with "one click root",
so i downgraded it to 4.2.2(LS980ZV8) and rooted it with ioroot25,
i installed the twrp-2.8.6.0-ls980 recovery with terminal emulator using the "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" command,
it went through fine but i couldn't enter the recovery, it would just normally boot the phone instead of entering recovery,
then i installed the "twrp manager", it wouldn't detect the installed recovery, so i installed it again using the manager (twrp-2.8.7.0-ls980.img),
it went through fine but when it asked me to reboot into recovery it wouldn't reboot after i pressed "yes",
so i tried to do it manually and still couldn't enter it, so i ran the manager again and it doesn't recognize the recovery it just installed, and i can't reinstall it because it gives me an error that "i already have it installed or another error have occurred",
i though that i might need to downgrade the modem but my modem is already v8 and it enters the "download mode" just fine, so i don't know what to do now, it's my first time modding the g2, help please
