RecoveringPhotosBefore30daysDeadlineAfteriCloudDelete

I need to know how to download and save the photos that I have to my phone and NOT the iCloud. I have plenty of phone storage (64GB) and I don't need it all uploading to the iCloud. How do I ensure that the photos I have stay on my phone (I already turned off the iCloud Photo Library on my phone). I want all of my iCloud Library on my phone–how can I accomplish that (the email instructions from the iCloud team did not work because I had already turned off iCloud).
