Hey, so I'm really panicking right now.
I tried to follow the tutorial on New Nexus 7: How to Root, Unlock Bootloader and Install Recovery - International Business Times this page to root my new nexus 7 that I purchased like a week ago. Everything was going fine. I unlocked the bootloader according to the tutorial. I installed the TWRP version 2.6.1.0, and that seemed to be going fine. I tried rebooting the device into normal mode through TWRP so I could put the Update SuperSU 1.43 onto the device storage, and this is where I started having issues. When rebooting through TWRP the device said "Hey wait we noticed you aren't rooted. Would you like to install supersu?" I said sure, thinking it could download it for me. I think it tried to "flash" (not sure what that means) supersu onto the device even though it isn't on its storage. Now I'm stuck in a booting loop (the rainbow x of death). I can go into the fastboot menu and access TWRP fine (recovery option) but it keeps asking me for a password that I didn't create. I can get to the bootloader.
From my computer I can use the fastboot command and it sees my device, but not adb. I can't access the internal storage of the device using file explorer. I open up devices and printers (I'm on a windows) and it shows my nexus, and I troubleshoot, it says there's a driver issue, and I can't do the fix because I don't have USB 2.0 or something. I set up the same thing on my roomate's computer but I can't get to the filesystem through his windows machine either.
I don't know what to do. I don't even really care if it's rooted at this point, but I want the device to work. I used "fix permissions" successfully from TWRP, and I don't know if that did anything.
What do I need to do to get this device working again? I will be active in this post. Please help me. I'm really stressed out. I can't afford a new one of these...
