-sign is an extra layer of security introduced by oem. i don't think there's any boot-recovery tool available that works directly with -sign images
however, you should be able to extract the -sign image using the tool www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21005.html
at step 6 in the guide, you'll get the un -signed file [no need to proceed with the other steps after step 6]
PS: you can then use the recovery image you got to port a custom recovery
or if you were trying to root, then use the boot.img and the guide www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html to attempt rooting

Hopefully i rooted my phone and actually i did it using the same tutorial you mentioned, and i was surprised that the patch did work inside the phone but not using windows !!! Does this means Magisk use something similar to "FbWinTools" to patch boot.img (signed one like mine) ?
I used "FbWinTools" to unpack my recovery-sign.img and when i tried TWRP porter it worked it didn't give me any errors, but do i need to repack the recovery.img that was produced by TWRP Porter using "FbWinTools" ? if yes then "rePack" means "reSign" ?

first all, some of these questions are not related to this thread so if you have any further questions after this, then create a new thread for it.
see www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-514.html for how to create a thread
magisk works only on boot.img while FBwintools is an entirely different tool meant to work with any -sign file [they are totally not related]
for the question about repacking, FBwintools has the option to repack to -sign but the feature doesn't work. you can however try flashing the recovery.img you got from the porting tool using the same method /tool you used to flash patched_boot.img and see if it works

Share screenshots or a video of what the tool displays while porting
