[Q] Device not going into recovery topic

So I just unlocked the bootloader. I tried flashing the TWRP custom recovery. I accidentally installed the incorrect version (I'm sporting the 4.4 unlocked GSM version btw), so I thought no big deal, I'll just get the correct one. I find the correct one, the twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4 one, and flash that using fastboot. It looks like it works but at the beginning, it says "<bootloader> Variable not supported!" but it finishes. I try booting into recovery from the fastboot screen. It goes immediately to the unlocked bootloader screen and just stays there for like 3 minutes, then powers off, and goes back into android. Any help? I would love to get a recovery on here to root my device.
