twrp fail and issuies with 6 & 7

I've experienced a lot of buggy issues with the m8 pro.

OPERATING:

-when using facebook inside firefox (not messenger, i don't use that) the camera icon is grayed out, and can't access cam or folders however i can in a status update.

it's not a huge deal since i hate facebook anyway but the proint is it doesn't work when it should. i've followed advice i found when i googled the problem but still doesn't work.

-google insisting on bugging out when i tap the control icons too much or something, and the search bar is stuck on the only available workspace (eliminates the others), can't navigate, control buttons don't do anything and i can't navigate my apps or even access them.

- in 6, any version of it so far that i've flashed, i found operating obnoxious because of the different control button locations and how the desktop operates in general.

if you swipe the screen a customization menu appears and makes it annoying to use (if i wanted to customize something i'd go to a specific menu for that) and on top of that, you can't stack apps in a single icon! how stupid. and reverting back to any version of 6 i've tried gives me same the annoying problems with google services.

-upon flashing 7 nougat the control icons disappear altogether after only using it for a few mins, i get stuck in some sort of "overlay" for lack of better terms.

-in 7 there was a horribly annoying screen sensitivity where it doesn't type properly, nothing like in 6 where it's basiucally effortless. in 7, i had to painstakingly enter each letter precisely and sometimes mash the screen just to get it to stick. it was like the screen sensitivity was reduced drastically, and the hitbox for the buttons was drastically reduced as well.. a shame because i really liked 7 right off the bat (aside from the distasteful mediatek boot image and this annoying 4g startup image that makes a ringing sound) since it looks like 5 and functions similarly.

FLASHING TWRP:

i definitely have the m8 pro, however i am entirely unable to flash twrp, but can flash any os i want no problem.

this doesn't make any sense, how can i flash an android version but not be able to flash something as simple as a recovery?

all i get is error 5404 and another one that basically says the same thing.

i have tried so many different combinations of SP flash versions and vcom drivers, as well as diff versions of twrp and nothing will work no matter what i try.

my current process, or what seems to work for flashing the OS is i click download, then depress both up and down on the volume button, then insert the usb cable while holding both volume up and down simultaneously, which works instantly when flashing an OS, but when flashing recovery, it starts the process, then about 10 seconds later throws the 5404 error ERROR_S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL

and i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. i have looked around and followed all the advice i could to no avail, because no matter which combination of drivers and sp version i try nothing works.

i found this tutorial video explaining the process and the fellow who posted it has been trying to help me a lot, i've downloaded and used every single file he provided as well, nothing works.

i'm on 10 btw.
