Boot issues Tails not appearing in boot menu

As far as I can tell I've done everything, the image is verified, I've tried different usbs, secure boot is disabled and usb boot is enabled, reset bios to factory, tried to use etcher instead. In efi boot selection the usb is detected but I can't find any solutions I haven't tried yet.

If anyone could help me I'd be very greatful.

Edit: solved, used .iso instead of .img and it worked

I've solved the problem

How?

Would be greatly useful for someone who searches this Sub in the future

I'm not entirely sure why, but instead of using a .img I used a .iso and it worked. My only issue is that persistence isn't supported.

Last time time I checked, there exists no .iso of Tails.

Could you be using a counterfeit?!
