Stock Recovery .img

I have twrp installed on a T-mobile h918 lg v20. I ended up selling my v20 to my grandpa. It works fine, but he tried to take an ota and it got stuck in a twrp bootloop. I reflashed twrp recovery and the phone is working fine again, but it still wants to install the OTA.

I realize once I install the stock recovery.img it will be impossible to get twrp again, but my grandpa will be using the phone for the next few years, and I'd rather it be able to get system updates.

Does anyone have a stock recovery.img for the tmobile LG V20? I'd like the one from the 10q build if possible (that's what the phone is currently running), but I don't know how often the recovery.img actually gets updated so an older/newer stock recovery.img might work as well.

I understand I can use a whole kdz to flash the whole thing to stock, but the rest of the phone is already stock, and I'd rather not risk losing installed apps and stuff or making them unstable. I just want to flash the stock recovery.img in twrp.

Thanks in advance!

If you don't want to wait you can just extract it yourself from stock rom

Thanks! I extracted a rom zip I found on xda but it has a recoverybak.bin, can I just rename the .bin file to an img file? I also downloaded the kdz and attempted to extract it, I tried the ext2 partition tool for Windows but I wasn't able to extract it. If someone could tell me how to extract the kdz that works too. Thank you so much both of you for the quick responses!
