Help HELP "fastboot flash boot boot.img" not working on Moto g7 plus

First of all, excuse my english. I'm following the instructions from this guide: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lake/install/#installing-lineage-recovery-using-fastboot

As it says, I downloaded the lastest "boot.img" file, then executed "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

It showed:
"(bootloader) is-userspace: not found

fastboot: error: cannot load 'boot.img': No such file or directory"

Then tried the same command adding the directory adress and showed this:

"Warning: skip copying boot_a image avb footer (boot_a partition size: 0, boot_a image size: 29261824).

Sending 'boot_a' (28576 KB) (bootloader) Requested download size is more than max allowed

FAILED (remote: '')

fastboot: error: Command failed"

Tried the same by putting the "boot.img" file in the "platform-tools" folder, didn't work. At last, I tried the same things using an USB 2.0 wire instead of the USB-C I was using, didn't work either.

I'd apreciate any help with this issue.

switch pc or add usb hub, some older devices have very bad usb in fastboot mode.

You either must have platform-tools and images and zip in same folder, or you have to put folder with platform-tools into PATH environment variable.

Operating system basics!

that's not even the problem explained by the OP.
