Root Issues in bootloader mode

So I got a new phone via a return of a defective phone. The new phone will not recognize the "USB Data Cable" in fastboot mode. It will recognize that it is charging but not that it is connected to a computer. The "old" N6 will connect using the same USB cable and port, in fastboot mode. One thing I noticed is that I wasn't given the option to approve the connection to my computer on the new phone. I assume this is causing the issue but I am not sure how to force it.

Any ideas? Does that even make sense?

Oh, yes, I can connect to the computer with the phone in running mode and access the SD partition. Also USB debugging is enabled.
 
OK so I figured it out. Even though I already used this computer to unlock my other N6 I had to re-install the driver manually and then all was good.
 
And now I'm in a bootloop. I can't win with this N6. On the upside, the speaker is amazing!!!
 
Holy cow that was crazy. So on a normal boot I was stuck in a boot-loop with the custom recovery image flashing/looping not the typical Android colors. Then I solved that and got a loop of the android colors. Now I am finally booted, stock, and unlocked.
 
Son of a biscuit butterer. I am in the same bootloop after flashing the stock 5.0.1 image. My N6 hates me. I didn't have any issues with my last three Nexus phones. At least I know how to fix it this time.

Did you just flash the system? There is a new radio too and an update to the bootloader.

No, I went through the entire process manually without using the flash_all script. The issue is how many times I reboot and in which order, throughout the flashing process. I realized that I follow 1 set of instructions then have the issue then following another set and all is good. I deleted the first set.

Code: 
fastboot flash bootloader C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/system.img
fastboot flash userdata C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/userdata.img
(Note: this command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)

fastboot flash boot C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

Causes me issues.
