I have downloaded the upx file for GoColor7_2 (instead of Go7) and followed the tutorial up until the recovery step, but now I cannot enter recovery and fastboot reboot recovery just sends me back to fastboot.

I have attained bootloader unlock using the Fairphone ABL:

Code:

root@computer:~# fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [  0.001s]
Finished. Total time: 0.001s

But since I can't seem to reach recovery I don't know how to proceed with the factory data reset. I'm not sure if using fastboot commands for doing a reset would break things further so I'll refrain from doing that for now. Any ideas about how to proceed from here?
