[Verizon] cant recognize my nexus when in bootloader cant root

In case you weren't aware, fastboot drivers are not the same as ADB drivers. You need both.

Also, like Teddy said, you can't run ADB in the bootloader.

Boot an unsecure OS image then type "adb devices". It will list the phone if the drivers are correct. If not, don't bother going any further. Correct and restart.
