Updated to May via OTA sideload. Now trying to flash the patched boot all I get is "waiting on device". Please no simple answers like reboot or try new cable. Been there,,, Windows 11.
Make sure your adb binaries are up to date. Download the latest tools from the sdk and try again.
Solved it. Had to follow the bellow guide.

Download flashtool software, drivers needed can be found inside drivers folder. Just install the driver.
I have been searching all over xda and google to try and solve this problem and I'm stuck. I'm trying to unlock the boot loader for my Nexus 7 (2013) that I just got yesterday and I have been following the video guide.
The problem I'm having is that when I do command "adb devices" it shows that my Nexus 7 is connected to my PC (windows 7) but it says "offline" and when I do "adb reboot bootloader" I get the error "device offline".
I have my device in developer mode and I enabled USB debugging in the settings already. In my search throughout the forums and followed the steps to make sure that my drivers were up to date. I tried doing it by manually selecting the drivers and by using the SDK Manager to install the Google USB drivers, neither of these fixed the problem.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, please help!
Have you tried rebooting into the bootloader manually then if "fastboot devices" work?
If you aren't seeing a popup on your tablet when adb tries to communicate with it, then you need to upgrade your adb client to the latest version.
They added some RSA verification step to the adb connection and if you have the old client it just says device offline.
You can update "platform-tools" in the sdk manager or find a download of just the adb, fastboot client and 2 libraries. If I remember the link I'll add it.
Here's the link for just the new ADB and libraries.

Sounds like a driver issue.
Make sure you've got the correct drivers installed. Open up Device Manager in Windows 7 and manually update the driver - http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
Read the tutorial and watch/follow the video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051
Got this on a Mac today, on the first time I connected this device.
Updated to latest android-sdk, re-installed platform-tools, and it worked fine.

Thanks for the response! I got the ADB part working and now I'm trying to finish with the rooting process.

Are you saying you have a download problem or a flashing problem?
The twrp archive I used wasn't a flashable zip. It was just a zip file with twrp.img archived.
You need to unzip and flash the twrp.img (it has a longer name) using
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I'm currently s-on and unlocked with ARHD 9.2. I can't get any drivers to allow me to be detected in fastboot and I've used multiple USB cords. I'm just wondering if there would be any 4.0+ ROMs that would be compatible with my current boot.img or if there are any alternative methods to flashing my boot.img
I hope you're familiar with Terminal Emulator. Follow below link and get things running.
And yeah,every kernel suppose to be specific for The ROM has designed.
link: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-kernels-on-android-phones-custom-roms/
As long as you are S-ON you can install 4EXT Recovery Touch to flash any kernel with smartflash.
You could also try to make your device S-OFF.Try this guide if you like.
Why you can't install drivers for fastboot?
Can you see your phone gets recogniced in device manager?
Just download and install latest htc drivers.(If you download and install htc sync it installs the latest drivers but you have to uninstall sync after installation.It won't remove htc drivers)
If you have win8 you probably have to install drivers manually.

I am on Windows 8. It gets recognized but fails to install drivers. I'll see if I can get that going and report back here. Thanks a lot guys!
All of the drivers are installed on this PC(Windows 10), and it recognizes it as connected in the device manager but it doesn't show up as a drive. ADB doesn't recognize the device so most methods shown here don't work. And the Microsd install doesn't work either(it gives an error shortly after you press power to go into recovery mode). So I'm not sure what else to do. Any hints or suggestions. It's a Z00A device.
Thanks!
Follow this link to add proper drivers to be recognized by sideload and then do adb sideload the whole firmware if you can enter into fastboot.
For bootloop issues,busybox,xposed and viper4fx have to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Good luck.

I downloaded the drivers a month ago when I was rooting the phone in the first place, it worked and was recognized. Are you saying to download additional drivers? Just want to make sure I'm going down the right path.

If you have drivers installed then follow 2nd last post for the pc to recognize phone when adb sideload is started.
Read entire thread as people have gone through what you are facing now.
Hi, I cannot get my device recognized when in fastboot for command prompt. My 5T is recognized when booted up on the normal, standard OxygenOS but not when in fastboot. How can I fix this issue? I am using a windows PC with the last OxygenOS version of Android 10. This is making me pull my hair out! Thanks. Sorry for my non native english skills.

You need to install the fastboot drivers too, not just the adb ones.
Google USB driver for fastboot & ADB. Extract all files to the same directory. Right click on android_winusb.inf and select install
And here is a great guide on how to install them. Reboot to fatboot mode, find the yellow exclamation mark in your PC Device Manager and follow the steps in the guide.
