PureBoot is designed to allow the user to (unsafely) boot even if tampering is detected.

Redo the entire process again with the Librem Key inserted into your Librem 15, then if you encounter any issue(s), explicitly mention which step(s) you experienced them on.
thank you.

ok so i keep getting to the generate totp/hotp, i click enter to generate, and then it ask me for my librem key admin PIN:
i type in 12345678
it says: sh: unknown operand
status code 4: Wrong PIN
ERROR: setting hotp secret on HOTP USB SECURITY DONGLE FAILED
then it says try again, i do it again and it makes me start over

When you select OEM Factory Reset / Re-Ownership on the very first step, what should happen is that the Librem Key factory resets itself to the default PIN values, so focus on that step.
so what you’re saying is maybe somewhere in the step you mentioned i should see a new PIN value?
thx.

No, the step I mentioned will force a factory reset of the Librem Key and change the admin PIN back to 12345678, among other PIN value changes.
right. i’m doing that step, have done that step 20x and it keeps asking for the pin in the hotp/totp ste and i input the 12345678 and it gives the error i just said . everytime.

Okay, try following these official instructions from Purism instead:
These instructions have more documentation so it is easier to determine any discrepancies about which step is causing issues.

i don’t know if this makes any difference but all my options show is OEM FACTORY RESET…:but it doesn’t have the /Re-ownership part? is that important?
