I'm not seeing the button to edit my post... Anyway, I figured part of this out. I had to install the ADB driver for my device on Windows while in fastboot. Once I did that, the fastboot commands worked, including flashing the TWRP image, but it's not seeming to stick. When I go back into recovery mode, it's the old Onyx System Recovery not twrp.

I flashed in fastboot with the command: 'fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Max3_unofficial.img'
