Vizio xr6p10 smartcast tablet remote soft bricked or hard bricked.... Help!! - General Questions and Answers

hi, im new to this so be kind, i tried to root my Vizio Smartcast Tablet and bricked it, i dont know if is a soft or hard brick because the tablet boots and stays in a bootloop
what the tablet does and doesnt:
it boots
it charges
i can access recovery mode
it cant be recognized by pc
it cant access bootloader
doesnt have USB debuggin enabled
doesnt have MTP enabled
what i already did:
tryed to get into bootloader... doesnt work
tryed to wype/factory reset... doesnt work
tryed to wipe cache... doesnt work
tryed to flash a custom rom(not for this tablet)... doesnt work
tryed ADB fastboot commands... doesnt work
tryed to install TWRP... doesnt work
As this is a very unusual device, i didnt find any stock rom or OEM USB driver(that way my pc can recognize it an restore via pc) for this device, i got in contact with vizio support to see if they can send me a copy of the rom that this devices uses(Android 6.0.1) but as the product is no longer under warranty they couldnt help me.
One curious thing is that when i "select the apply update from adb" from the recovery menu, my pc can recognized it but when i open any recovery tool it stays on "connecting device"

[Q] Boot Loop. USB not recognized. SD Card won't mount

Essentially What's wrong:
My phone is stuck in a boot loop, computers won't recognize the usb connection, and my sd card won't mount. My SD card is, however, recognizable if I plug it directly to my computer using an adapter.
What Happened:
I rooted my phone using CWM and Odin in order to remove bloatware and enable tethering. After enabling tethering, my computer stopped recognizing my phone. I tried everything to fix it including factory resetting my phone, formatting cache, data, system, and sd card all under the CWM boot menu (hold volup+home+power). Soon afterwards, my phone got stuck in a boot loop. On startup, it hangs on the white "Samsung" logo. While trying to fix the issue, I noticed that my sd card won't mount.
What I've tried:
I've tried this method, but it requires that I either have usb access or access to my phone. I've tried reinstalling the Samsung driver fifteen times. I've tried formatting the SD card in my computer. I've tried using different computers. I've tried using different usb cords. I've tried clearing the registry on my computer, I've tried scouring Google and these forums for a solution. Maybe I'm blind and missed something.
What I'm trying to do:
The way I see it, I need to figure out a way to flash the stock rom back to my phone. In order to do this, I need to get my usb to recognize. If I can do this, the rest is easy. Does anyone has any ideas on what can be done?

The phone not connecting: I have had this issue before. If you go into the device manager on the computer and show all devices, you can remove all the samsung usb drivers and the root usb drivers from the computer. Reboot the computer and leave the phone unplugged. it will reinstall the main drivers. reboot the phone and hold the buttons to enter recovery, it should still work even while stuck on samsung logo. connect the phone to pc and it should reinstall the drivers and connect properly.

Do you remember at all the name of the drivers that need to be uninstalled? When I plug in my Droid Charge, the computer attempts to install the drivers but it always fails. Under device manager I will then see "unknown deviced" labeled with a yellow exclamation mark. I uninstall that, then plug the phone back in but the same error occurs.
If there are other drivers that I need to uninstall, then I don't know what they're called. None of the devices in the manager say anything referring to samsung.

go to device manager and choose: view >> show hidden devices
then under the usb drivers look for and uninstall the SAMSUNG if any and uninstall the : Generic USB Hub if any, and uninstall USB Root Hub if any, and reboot computer.
THANK YOU
How don't know how I managed to miss this when trying to fix this over the past week+, but it worked. Getting rid of those root usb devices got my computer to recognize my phone, then I was able to easily use Odin to boot it back to the stock rom. Thank you so much. Crazy how such a simple solution can be the answer.

Hello, have tried uninstalling the USB drivers but Windows 10 re-installs these drivers upon restart. My Samsung SM-N750 is still not detected on via USB, and therefore cannot proceed with Odin firmware flash. Do you have any other suggestions? Many thanks.

[Q] Nexus 5 sideload stopped, No USB anymore

Hello,
i tried to update my Nexus 5 to 5.1 by using adb sideload.
First i installed the driver which did not work, i removed them and used an another and the device was recognized after that on windows.
So I started the sideload and it stopped at about 60% and the USB Connection was lost. I can not see the device in the device manager and if i use my linux computer i can not see any new entry if i use 'dmesg'. I used an another USB cable to check if this is broken. I tried to format the cache and it now still boots to the recovery mode.
Can it be that the USB driver in the N5 is broken now?
I wanted to prevent a factory reset, but i dont think that a FR will help here if i can not connect even in the recovery mode
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Hmmm, intermittent ADB occured before attempted sideload falure.
Boot to bootloader and see if you can
fastboot devices
If you can detect the device in fastboot, but still cant ABD, then maybe take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59420668&postcount=322
After looking there, if you are absolutely certain that it is not a driver issue, you might be looking at a hardware failure of the charging port.

If it were me, I'd replace the port and re-attempt ADB sideload.

PC doesn't recognise - Clearly means you don't have driverw for your phone installed.. A simple google search will lead u to them..
I cant install a new driver, my pc is pretty useless now since my phone cant conect to my pc.
thanks for your quick replies sir
Maybe install Ubuntu or another Linux and try again. Had the same Problem with Win8 and HTC of a friend.
Thanks for helping, i fixed my phone by flashing the stock rom. I used Wmshua for flashing. Its easy to use.
Nice to hear that
