So for no apparent reason my tablet is stuck at the google logo and when i boot up twrp it is asking me for a password that I don't know. I never set up a password. Because i don't know the password i can't factory reset, flash a rom, or use adb!
Why not boot into fastboot and manually push from there?

Thanks i actually just thought to do that. I don't normally do it that way but i never had this issue so i'm gonna have to do some research but it shouldn't exactly be hard seeing as i have pushed files to my device that way anyways. Lol.

I had the same issue. I think you have to boot your device after you unlock it or something.
Anyways, for whatever reason installing TWRP thrashed your files, so you don't have a proper system to boot from.
The fix is fairly straightforward, ATGAdmin has a one click batch file that will do it for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582
That will restore your system and recovery to stock, and leave your bootloader unlocked. From there I recommend installing ClockworkMod, simply because that's what I did and it worked for me.

Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_flo.img

Just curious, and maybe a dumb question, but have you tried entering any password?
I remember with Samsung GS2 when doing ROM upgrades and changing recoveries, it would sometimes ask for a password unexpectedly. People found out they could just enter something random and it continued.

Okay i can't figure out how to flash a rom this way. I can get past the google logo if i wipe cache. I don't know how to wipe dalvik cache, and I can't find a factory rom to flash.

Yeah but it fails everytime I try a factory reset or if I try wiping dalvik cache. the mount system option is unchecked by default. I checked the box to mount it but that did nothing.
I had this issue also. I solved it by formatting the data. Seems like unless i do that, it wont mount the memory.
I had this problem trying to root two nexus 7s. At first I thought I had to unlock boot then reboot into fastboot and push twrp so I did that on my second nexus 7 but that didn't work and I ended up being stuck on the nexus boot logo. Easy fix though!! Just turn off your nexus then power it on while holding the vol up button which will boot into the android guy and factory reset your nexus. It should boot up now and then you can flash twrp via fastboot

My nexus is from everyway shape or form bricked. I tried all forms of fixing it:
-Tried flashing stock image from fastboot
-tried flashing stock through odin
-tried flashing through recovery
-tried locking and unlocking the bootloader
What I noticed: I can flash different kernels and mods. But as soon as I try to flash a ROM that I already had saved on the SD it cancels the install and shows "(bad)". I also cannot mount /system to format it.
Also, when I try to flash anything thru odin or fastboot, everything works according to ODIN and I get the blue "PASS" sign, but when it reboots nothing sticks. I was able to use the Toolkit v7.8 to boot into TWRP recorvery, and it still doesnt work. NOTE: I can only boot into it with the Toolkit, I cant actually flash the recovery permanently.
I guess the system files became Read-Only.
I have no ROM currently loaded so I can only boot into Download mode/Fastboot and CWM recovery.

It looks like you've tried just about everything and you are very capable of getting it done. My only suggestion is that when I thought I was bricked, I kept wiping all the data I could find. From CWM I started with a wipe data/factory reset and that had the best results for me. After that, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats, and I tried loading a new ROM from sdcard. I wouldn't try to install a new kernel or any other mod until you successfully boot into your new(or old) ROM.
Like I said, you probably already knew all of this but I wanted to make sure all the bases were covered. If it doesn't help you, I hope it at least helps someone else. Good luck, and please post your progress!
try using fastboot to erase the system and other partition.
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
faseboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
Then flash stock from fastboot
Ok, I try the fast boot method today after work. I have a feeling it wont work until I can mount the system folder which is the sole problem if Im not mistaken. I wiped absolutely everything I could in CWM to no avail. So fastboot looks like the only choice

Fastboot does not require mounting of anything -- it writes to the entire partition.

I don't have the best knowledge when it comes to this. But if this is true then perhaps I lost root? When I was flashing a Rom my phone shut off and that's when these problems started. Would losing root be the cause of this?

No. Root has nothing to do with fastboot. Root has nothing to do with your device. Root has to do with the Android build that you are running.
When you are booted into the bootloader (i.e., fastboot mode), there is no Android OS running, so how can there be root?
The fastboot executable on your PC interacts directly with the bootloader, and it will wipe an entire partition, or write an image to a partition.
first off you need to download wugfresh's Gnex toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1766475
second you need to install all the drivers if you haven't already.
then you need to choose your model type
after you will need to click on back to stock what it does is it resets everything, assuming your phone cant boot up choose not booting
once that is done you can choose the factory image which can be downloaded from Googles factory images or you can use the options provided
after that you follow all the steps provided in the tool kit. the tool kit is mostly automatic so it wont take allot of time.
once that is done you are back in stock and have lost everything but don't fret because you can root it again using the same tool kit.
quick point your phone still has an unlocked boot loader so don't worry about that.
once youve completed the above steps you should be back to your good old galaxy nexus home screen

I've personally never had problems with tool kits and have found them very helpful, because of my busy schedule I don't have the time to do it myself even with my amateur coding skills, and have found only people who dont understand what there getting themselves into get bricked, thats not to say you cant brick your phone if your smart but if your smart you would have done a nandroid before flashing anything.
thanks again for that enlightening post

If you go into fastboot mode then choose recovery to get to the screen with the red triangle, keep pressing the power button and volume buttons randomly until the stock recovery pops up. From there do a factory reset and it'll work, I just did it to mine!
I flashed the CWM recovery img so when I do what you say it takes me to the bootloader screen and says Downloading. No red triangle. It boots into CWM and then after 20 seconds restarts itself and hits the bootanimation loop. Any clue what to do next? Trying to flash the stock image but having issues using cmds in windows cmd

Thing is it will delete the CWM recovery when you leave it so you'll have to reflash it, which is why this is so unstable!
I had the exact same thing as you and this is what I did:
Press the power button to turn it off while it says downloading
Hold both volume buttons down and power on to get into fastboot
Choose recovery
Press power and volume buttons randomly when the red triangle appears until you get stock recovery
Choose Factory Reset
Reboot
You should be able to get back into the rom that way,
to root it you need to boot into fastboot again, reflash the recovery, and sideload the superuser apk

Yeah this is exactly what I did and it worked. I'll wait on flashing anything until there's a stable recovery. I was fairly confident in what I was doing until that happened. Not being able to input commands from cmd prompt made me sick so I'll wait for a dev to release something that works without having to quickly install the drivers again within a 15-20 second timeframe. Too much stress.

If you are stuck on the boot animation (X) screen... power off your device and enter fastboot mode and then type fastboot -w... I has this problem and this fixed it!

When I try to install the manta drivers manually and tell it to search the same area that it searched and found the android bootloader drivers for fastboot mode it says that the drivers couldn't be found and installed.

Well i guess i did it the long way around.
Went to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c

Opened the flash-all.sh and entered each command manually because it was erroring out running the script.

Had my note 2 for several months now on Wind Mobile. I woke up this morning and it was working fine, went out for a walk and 5 minutes into the walk my phone was stuck in the boot loop. I never flashed or rooted my phone. Its stuck where the samsung logo comes up and the blue and purple halo circles it. I have access to both the volume up+home button+power button menu, aswell and the volume down menu. I already cleared the system cache and was wondering what to do?
If possible i would like to be able to extract my data before doing a factory reset. Any help would be great!
It doesnt seem that wiping data will fix your problem it looks like system corruption try flashing new software

My device decided to randomly encrypt itself after using the CM12 port that is available. How this happened is beyond me. Anyhow, I tried to do a factory reset...

By now, I have flashed over 6 recovery images (all different) even the stock. Fastboot says that the transfer went through successfully only to find when I try to boot into recovery, it boots into fastboot instead.
Yes the device is unlocked.
I don't know if there is a ROM on it, but when i try to start it normally, it wont boot past the splash screen (before the boot animation)

Never factory restore when you have a Custom ROM as it isn't made to reset with the devices stock hardware and causes things to go crazy.
Always use a nandroid of the original system with root, then unroot, then factory restore from that.
Also. YouTube search - HTC Desire 816 root unlock bootloader.
Use the .exe recovery from that video in fastboot at least twice without exiting fastboot or rebooting.
Now try the recovery.

When you were on the stock recovery, could you wipe partitions?
Also what model do you have?
First of all check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835. I had a problem with my phone because i rooted it, and i wanted to apply an ota so i unrooted and applied the ota, but that got me stuck in a bootloop. So i went to the thread above and did what the instructions said. Everything was fine until i started getting force closes on gapps and most apps on my phone, so i decided to reflash the system with the prerooted image from the link above. I did this and i decided to go into recovery from bootloader in order to format data as this stopped the force closes the first time. When i booted into recovery i got the same old android logo that says error, only this time it was blinking and i couldn't get into the recovery; I then force shut off the phone and tried to boot up normally but i got the same error android guy flashing again. So since i couldn't get into the stock recovery then i tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063. This cwm recovery booted up fine after a minute or two. Once in there I went down to wipe data/factory reset; It completed the process and i rebooted and there was no error this time, the phone booted up normally.
If anything similar happens to someone try first the guide in the first link, then the second link if you can't get into recovery.
I hope this helped someone with the same circumstances.
@Ratedzelaya, hey, it was good of you to share your experience with all people. Btw, you required CWM to do a factory reset, right? And that factory reset fixed the phone for you, right? Well, if that's the case, you could simply boot to bootloader mode, and then issue these commands to do a factory reset:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
No need of recovery in this case, and the device should be fine as per your method. Just sharing my opinion! Having CWM recovery isn't bad anyway

That's helpful information in case I ever need it. I'm not the most familiar with fastboot or adb.
