<![CDATA[Bootloader only results in a little penguin icon at the top of the screen. What went wrong?]]>There was a time when I got the correct bootloader screen, but during the course of trying to install UT it now only gives me the little penguin icon at the top of the screen and nothing else. Where did I go wrong and is there a way to fix this? Keep in mind I'm still a novice with Linux. I've been trying to get my OS working properly on my phone (I get a boot loop and it never starts up) and the first step in fixing it seems to be to flash TWRP, which I can't do without the bootloader (I presume).

Any thoughts?

You need to get into proper fastboot mode to fix your device. It would also help to state what OS and version thereof you had on the device before attempting to install UT.

It's a Oneplus One, installer version is 0.4.14-beta, and I'm on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon version 4.0.10.

What device.
What installer version
What OS are you using.
