(XT2005-3) "bad key" error when trying to boot TWRP

[EnokiPPT]

Hi, and sorry for posting about another issue, but this will probably be the last time.
I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Moto E6, and then followed this ([unofficialtwrp. com/twrp-3-3-1-root-moto-e6/) tutorial on flashing TWRP to it. I got stuck on the booting the image part. It says that it would boot into TWRP, but instead I got a black screen with text that says "bad key" at the top left. I think that the reason could be no-verity-opt-encrypt, but I could be wrong. I think that the problem is that I need to boot into TWRP to flash it, but I'm not sure I can without using TWRP. Am I even right? How could I get TWRP to work?

Many thanks,
Collin

Bad key or N/A screen is a Motorola warning that the firmware may not be stock.
The bootloader is unlocked, unsigned firmware was flashed...

Is there a way to get to TWRP even with the warning there?

The warning has nothing to do with TWRP
It's just a standard Motorola screen you see after unlocking the bootloader.

I understand that, but it prevents me from even booting into TWRP at all.

Where did you find a twrp for E6?

It's an unofficial port.

It's an unofficial port.

This one, that no one has reported that it works?

No, it's from an external site.

Well you should ask there.

There isn't a forums section there

I'm pretty sure that the issue is TWRP is faulty.

I forgot to mention this, but I also tried the one you linked to the same result. Does that mean both are faulty?

There is no working twrp for your device that I know of.

So I found a no-verity boot IMG for a G6, would that work on an E6 or would that brick it? Even if it does, the recovery would still be the same so it wouldn't be hard to just use adb and flash the stock E6 boot img.

I got a few steps farther! I'm not sure how or why, but I flashed the stock recovery back and then flashed TWRP again, and now it will say "N/A" instead of "Bad Key" and then hangs on the splash screen. There are multiple unofficial ports for the E6, so I'll try the other ones and see if that works.

EDIT: Looked through the threads, the only TWRP images that exist get stuck on the splash screen. Thank you for your help!
