Device Will Not Boot, Cannot Flash Stock ROM

Real quick, sorry about posting this twice. I just realized I had posted under a guest account in the wrong place.

Alright, I'm at my wit's end here. I started today to install NetHunter on my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi. I ended today trying to figure out why the heck I can't even flash the stock image anymore. Here's my situation:
I can no longer boot into Android on my Nexus 7. I can access the bootloader and recovery mode. I've tried using the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash Android 6.0.1 to my device, and that fails every time with the following, even if I choose to flash it on normal or soft bricked/bootloop mode. Here's the log of what happens: (oops, can't post links. Log is at the bottom of the post)
This, I discovered apparently corrupts the system and userdata of the device. I then install TWRP and get the error telling me it cannot mount system, data, usersystem, etc. After messing around, wiping various file systems, I can get everything to mount. I then go back to the bootloader and try to flash stock, and the process repeats.
So obviously this wasn't working. I tried wiping everything in the stock android recovery, and I still get the same errors. When I try to mount /system in the default android recovery I get the error "E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument". So I have no clue what to do at this point. What can I do? Is the file system just totally corrupt? It was working fine this morning when I set out on this whole adventure. Hopefully someone can help me. If there's anymore information that I can provide I gladly will, just tell me what I'm missing. Thanks in advance.

Also, forgot to mention I have tried various USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and 4 differnt USB cables, two of which I know are of good quality.

Re: Device Will Not Boot, Cannot Flash Stock ROM

Figures, I decide to post and I fix the problem. Anyways, it turned out to be a fault USB coords. Or rather, 6 of them. It kept disconnecting/reconnecting during flashing. I finally found a good, working one and it worked like a charm. It's no longer bricked and is now running Android 5.1.1 stable.
