Besure u have installed fastboot on windows (if not, download and install from here)
Then open cmd
Then Type: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
It will help to solve ur prob.
If you have unlocked bootloader, I recommend to use Myth Tools to flash firmware

NEED GUIDANCE
7.7.1Q-115_MB886_FFW-14_SIGNED_CFC.xml.zip>>>>> This is ICS firmware.
I think u should try to flash JB firmware with our tools. Remember to ensure the free space on your hard disk.
After that, do what I said in 2nd post above if it still boot to fastboot mode.

Pul your simcard/sdcard then turn off phone. Then push them in and turn on. If it still has that error, reflash fw again. I have met that prob in the past

no, you have to flash it using fastboot in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recover>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
sometimes, flashing stock recovery wipes sdcard, so backup everything to PC first!

I'm quite sure you dont need to be locked. If you have a completely stock ROM, you will get the update notification, even on custom recovery, but you will not be able to install it until you go with stock recovery
Are you sure it's out yet for your country/carrier?

T-Mob? I just checked your previous post and you have CID HTC__102 and MID PN0710000, so it's a WWE edition phone, and you are right there is an OTA available: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_...-24-401-8_release_338160gxmo5sd9337kadux-zip/
The only reason for it not to show on your "Settings -> About -> Software update" is that your ROM is not stock. what are the details of your ROM. you need to go back to stock rom, and you should receive the OTA

[Q] Rooting

Why would fastboot devices show all question marks, but adb devices gives me the proper serial number? I was able to unlock the bootloader, but thats it. I cannot flash TWRP to root.

huh? im incorrect?
normal recovery flash would be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
that ells it what to do and into which partition it will go, so if you are only wanting it for a one time use, not a permanent flash, it would be fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img you told it to boot instead of flash, and told it where it needs to be applied(recovery). hows that wrong?

right.
your command.. fastboot boot recoveryname.img
my command.. fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img
the difference is that im telling it where it gets applied. i didnt write flash, i wrote boot.

Indeed. I've only done it once myself. I don't see the need to, as I like to be prepared and to not rely on computer in case something how's wrong and I need recovery.

If you install the stock ROM than which version did you install?
OR
If you have restored than did you restore the stock recovery?
