This is all in the How to Unlock Sticky. You do not have to unlock your phone to flash a shipped ROM, so you may not have unlocked it. Read through that above sticky for more info.
Sorry about that - I need to RTFM - it was locked this whole time. I had thought that since I've installed the leaked ROM, that it was unlocked. It was when you mentioned that a shipped ROM does not require unlocking that things clicked. Thanks everyone for your help on this!

Thanks
I had this same issue when I started flashing. It does sound like your device is still locked. I had to trigger the bootloader and do the unlock from the bootloader I couldn't do it any other way. Trigger the bootloader and run the unlock and then try again to flash. My first flash from the non-sprint ROM also needed to be in bootloader. Don't give up though, just read the directions in the unlocking fourm and do the steps verbatum and you'll be good in no time.
