My bootloader is unlocked already, I deleted HTC Sync, debugging on, usb is in disk mode, etc. but for the life of me I can't get any recoveries to flash. I get the "Remote: not allowed" and if I try again it just gets stuck on sending recovery. It shows up as a fastboot device in cmd. Any suggestions?

Are you in bootloader/fastbootusb?
Yes, I am in fastbootusb. The same thing happens on the toolkit. I doubt it is any kind of hardware defect, but the device is recognized in fastboot which is why I am SUPER confused. This is the first time I have ever run into an issue with fastboot.
I initially had a bad download and had issues with both ways to flash. Redownloaded and it worked.
Also, with the tool I've had issues with usb switching from storage to media which affected even using adb to push files. Make sure that's not an issue with the push method.

Are you implying the fastboot download was bad or the recovery? I tried three different recoveries now and none worked. I also tried using hassoon2000s method and just get an error saying device not found.
Also, I am using the fastboot file that came directly from HTC so I am really scratching my head right now...
It could be outdated.
Do you have android sdk on your PC?
If so make sure it's up to date.
If not get it HERE
Just giving you my experience where there were a couple issues that made it seem like I was stuck. Take it or leave it I guess.

Sorry if I sounded mean or anything I was literally just asking which one you meant lol. I now realize "are you implying" does sound kinda snarky. Anyway, it must have been something with my computer because I did it on another computer and got it to work.
So the thread doesn't go to waste, if anyone is having issues try on another computer.
Okay, now trying to flash the stock recovery to get the phone exchanged for radio issues, I am running into the same problem. I tried both computers now. Hopefully I figure it out soon, had to activate an old blackberry for the time being.

I have had the same problem before on a different phone. All you need to do is put it on the sd card and use the boot loader method. The phone will automatically find it and flash it. Then just remove sd card and delete file so it doesn't keep prompting to flash it every time you reboot.
Yes. Go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696652 and all the info you need is there along with directions.
