Now my bootloader comes up, but I have no recovery, and for some reason fastboot is not detected by my Windows PC or my Fedora Linux system. So I was screwing around and booting TWRP through fastboot earlier(fastboot boot twrp-etc.etc), and ran the zip to install it in a stupid way(adb sideload, which I wasn't thinking and should have just flashed in fastboot first). (I have been searching forums, but I didn't find this link until after I posted, sorry admins)
EDIT: Still open to suggestions, but am going to try the method posted Here and see if this works.
