A series of unfortunate events. Stuck in eRecovery

I was going to update my P10+ (VKY-L29C626B124) to Oreo. It's unlocked and rooted, but the updater wasn't working normally.

Started with FirmwareFinder and found an early Oreo for my phone. I was going to set up the proxy download in eRecovery. In the meantime, I backed everything up and decided to pony up the 4 euros to get the unlock code again because I figure this was going to put me back in stock. After I got the code, I was going to copy my backup over to my sdcard, but there was a crash in DC Unlocker and my phone rebooted.

Now I am stuck with eRecovery trying to do something and failing all the time. I can get to fastboot, but not TWRP. I am 99.9% sure nothing was flashed (because nothing was downloaded to begin with) but it seems that eRecovery is engaged in a way that it can't be overridden.

Is there a way to get back to either TWRP or the OS so I can move my backups off the phone and try this again? I was going to flash a stock rom via the Huawei Updater on my PC and a proxy, but I am open to other suggestions. So uh... h---e---l---p ? ? ? ?
