MOTO G4 plus flash problem

[PirateOncrew]

I recently bought a new android phone (Moto g4 plus). I was eager to root it and take advantage of all the features.

The problem is that whenever I try to flash a recovery image, I get this error:

C:\Users\myuser\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (12496 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.400s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt

OKAY [ 0.197s]
finished. total time: 0.601s
Keep in mind that the bootloader IS unlocked, I even get the warning when restarting the phone. Also this does not happen with just one image file. Every single image file gets this error. I have tried many different versions of TWRP, CLW, etc and all of them get this same error. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Did you try and boot recovery after doing this? The message reports success.

When you back into fastboot you then select recovery. Is it loading the stock recovery when you do this? Don't forget it boots fastboot screen then you load the recovery in the scroll down option.
