Executing ‘fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.1_9-0-condor.img’ produces:
WARNING: Flashing vbmeta image is required prior to flashing recovery image.
I’ve yet to unlock the phone and assume that’s unnecessary at this stage.
What am I doing wrong?

I’ll try to unlock the bootloader first.

I thought I did. My steps were:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
I then receive the message ‘Please re-run this command to continue.’ After doing so my phone displays a screen with START and up/down arrows. However, the last two lines display ‘oem_locked’ and ‘Transfer Mode: USB Connected.’ I’m not presented with a screen asking me to confirm the request by selecting ‘yes.’ The phone screen is unresponsive.
However, I’m confused between unlocking the bootloader and unlocking the phone. Are they different?
The document ‘Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlock’ instructs me to enter ‘fastboot oem unlock.’ However, 'Install /e/ minimal on a Motorola Moto E - “condor” tells me to enter ‘fastboot oem get_unlock_data.’
Unfortunately, ‘fastboot oem get_unlock_data’ gives me the vbmeta message I originally referenced.
