Flash System Image but NOT Wipe User Data

Edit the flash-all.sh or flash-all.bat file and remove the -w from the last line...

eg

fastboot -w update image-sailfish-pq1a.181205.002.a1.zip

to

fastboot update image-sailfish-pq1a.181205.002.a1.zip

Remove TWRP Restore Normal Boot Image

Download the factory image for the version of Android that you're currently running. Look inside the zip and you'll find another zipped file. Open that and you'll see a file in there that's named boot.img. Extract the boot.img file the same folder as your fastboot is in, open a command prompt in that folder flash it with fastboot.

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

That will get you back to the stock bootloader and stock recovery.
