There is an auto recovery restore system in Samsung Galaxy S8 Official Firmware. Whenever you restart your device, stock recovery keeps showing up. To get rid of this, do the following steps below:

NOTE: Your Galaxy S8 Plus must be rooted to perform this.

Simply rename or remove the following files from /system directory.

/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

This will override the stock recovery with TWRP. You can delete this file using ES File Manager (by enabling root access on it). That’s it!
