How to install TWRP on Huawei Honor 8 FRD-L14?

I have tried rooting my FRD-L14 yesterday. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, OEM, FRP, and developer mode on the phone to install TWRP. I have also installed ADB (with corresponding drivers like fastboot like the usual). I have inputted the usual flashing command through fastboot:

.\fastboot.exe flash recovery .\twrp-{version_name}-frd.img

However, after trying to flash both TWRP versions 3.6.2 & 3.0.2-0 (as shown in a video guide to install TWRP on FRD), I am always stuck on the "Your device is booting now..." screen when entering recovery mode either through ADB or [power] + [Vol Down] buttons. I have to always press down [power] + [Vol Up] buttons in order to do a regular boot. I have already spent countless hours trying to look for a solution to install TWRP rather than giving up.

Some of the websites that I have browsed through seems to have a custom TWRP that is fit for FRD-L14 but unfortunately, the download links seem to have expired already.

XDA Developer Link with no solutions on continuing to install TWRP

Expired Custom TWRP Link Page

Link where I get my official TWRP downloads

My phone is a FRD-L14C567B402 (USA only) running on Android 7.0 Nougat with Hisilicon Kirin 950 processers and EMUI version 5.0.4....

Current Plans:
I am planning to download every single TWRP version on the Official TWRP website for FRD and try every single one of them... If this fails, I am not sure how to successfully install TWRP

Any other suggestions or solutions to solving this problem? Thanks in advance!

The right TWRP to use in Honor 8 android 7 is:

The download link for the TWRP in that post is: To boot to recovery, you must hold Volume Up + Power Button. Make sure the device is not connected to a charger or computer, because it does not boot into recovery when it is connected to a charger or computer when you use that button combination to boot into TWRP.
