Well tried what you said, and it fixed that issue, and got all the way down to the end and the radio zip wouldnt work. I highlighted in blue the key areas for easier reference.

So, now what needs to be done? I noticed the fastboot oem lock had a failed status in addition to signature verify fail at the end there. When the phone rebooted it seems like the software had been downgraded or w/e as I lost all my apps (and hadn't bothered to backup) and it was going through first time setup with me. Again, thanks for your help this is all quite fascinating to me.
