Soft Bricked and now wont recognize USB to recover - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I tried to unlock my bootloader on my Nexus 6p for the first time and everything was going smoothly until I got stuck in a bootloop after flashing twrp. Now twrp is the only thing I can access on my phone and when I plug it back into my computer I cant do anything because it says that the USB device is not recognized. Anything you can recommend to try would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Need Help Unbricking Nexus 7

The problem is I can't unbrick and restore my nexus to stock rom.
I can't boot the device and I'm only able to boot to bootloader. However, my computer doesn't recognize the nexus. It keeps saying Window cannot recognize it whenever I plug my tablet to the computer in bootloader. I tried uninstall and reinstall driver several times, but none of them seems to work . ----> That means I can't even use adb to restore the phone simply because my tablet is not recognized in window.
Is there anyway to fix this problem? I really need your helps as soon as possible.
Thank you for reading !
Get to bootloader. Then use Wugs toolkit, open advanced options. On the very left is something like "temp boot to recovery". Once that boots it to recovery, ADB should work. It did for me. I was in some trouble last night and got out by this. If you know how to use adb/fastboot commands, you should be good. And I uninstalled my drivers and when I plugged it in the device automagically reloaded the drivers. But you have to do it a few times. Had to do it in bootloader, recovery, and another point. Anytime it asks to load drivers/etc do it.
I can't boot to recovery through Wug Tool Kit. It keeps saying Fastboot device was not found >"<
By the way, whenever I connnected my device to computer, the bootloader freezes :|
What were you doing before you go into this situation?
I was on Glazed Jelly Bean rom and wanted to go back to stock rom. I used nexus 7 toolkit to do all the work for me. However, there was something wrong like the toolkit didnt extract the stock img right or something like that, my tablet got bootloop, and what happened next was what i had been telling you guys.
Best bet is if somehow you could get into recovery or get adb working. Might want to uninstall drivers and install again and reboot computer. I would suggest using this thread and flash things manually back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 but you would need adb working.
When you power off device and use volume and power can you get it to go into boot loader then plugged into computer try to get to recovery or adb.
Consider deleting the drivers from Windows after uninstalling them otherwise Windows may try to be "clever" and reinstall the bad driver when you plug the device in. The Nexus 7 drivers from Asus can be downloaded here and Google's USB drivers are here

What if I couldn't get adb working?
I tried everything and windows still doesn't recognize my device in fastboot
Have you tried Nexus Root Toolkit v .1.5.4?

try connecting to the usb port at the back of your computer
Paranoid flashed with the bricked kernel did this to me once right after the move to 4.1.2. Even with a full wipe and all the usual safety precautions it just stuck on bootloop forever and wouldn't let me in. I chalked it up as that's what I get for being the guy that's never satisfied with stock. I was unable to get my nexus7 fixed. I sent you a suggestion on pm though.
Never mind everyone. Thank you so much for your help.
I tried install the nexus 7's driver on another computer and it recognized my device in bootloader mode, and restore everything back to stock now. Thank you so much!!!!
Mine did that to the first time I tried. After I got it to work, the permissions were all messed up and I could not get it to download anything off the web and I was getting a playstore error 90% of the time as well. I finally just wiped everything on my tablet, installed the stock rom via N7 toolkit, then reflashed smooth rom, and all is working now. It may have been a bug with the older version of N7 toolkit, as I updated it before I reran everything.

[Q] nexus 7 bootloop no recovery no usb debug

so i have a nexus 7 stuck in a bootloop, i never enabled usb debugging, and cant get my pc to recognize the device even when it says it's in fastboot mode. bootloader is still locked and recovery mode freezes at google screen on the rare occasions when i can even select that option. tbh i think there's something wrong with my adb setup, but i followed the instructions on the android sdk site... kinda lost here sorry if this question is unclear. i also tried using the unlock option on wugfresh's nexus root toolkit but it keeps saying there is no fastboot device attached. any help would be much appreciated.
never mind, I'm just going to install a fresh motherboard.

Hey,

Cheers mate but yep I tried that and nothing changed
I'm in the same boat. Had this problem for a long while, almost had my guarantee expire so I had it fixed. Not sure what caused it, or what fixed it. But couple of weeks later I was transfering some files through the now working USB port and accidently touched the cable - the device lost connection mid-transfer and since then I was unable to use the USB to transfer files, or connect the device to anything but the charger..
Along comes the 5.1 OTA which I decide to install and mid-install there was an error and the device soft-bricked - I can't boot it, it shows the Android robot with a red traingle and exclamation mark and 'No command.' written under it, at which point it reboots after a couple of minutes.
I can access recovery and fastboot mode and excecuted a factory reset but to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix the USB so that I can reflash stock and make my device work again?
Also, any ideas if one could bypass the use of the USB port in fixing the softbrick would also be helpful.

Android boot loop on Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (i9060)

Hey!
New to XDA but a complete fan of the help and guides you guys provide.
So, I acquired an i9060 smartphone and successfully installed CM 11 without the help of my laptop since the usb cable through Odin never worked for me (driver issues on Win10?).
Unfortunately, my phone entered an Android boot loop. And now with a lot of attempt I can't even enter CWM or even charge my smart phone, as it always reboots while trying to charge the battery (it's always drained) or gets stuck during logo before accessing CWM.
I tried to install Samsung drivers, Kies, ABD, Odin to restore the firmware but... nothing seems to recognise this Samsung device. Does anyone had the same problems I'm having now? Any suggestions?
You might try another USB cable, USB port, or even another computer. Without Odin, you're not going to be able to fix this since recovery is no longer available.

Tried on 3 laptops but the problem persists. Never thought of changing my usb cable though. I'll give it a shot
Btw, is there anyway to use an external SD card to force a factory reset?

Have you considered the possibility that your power button is sticking? Not the part that you touch but the hardware switch behind it?
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
Are you using the stock cable or at least a USB cable with the same number of pins/pinouts?
