First word of advice, don't use toolkits unless you have fastboot/ADB knowledge.
Start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-help-t3006500
Next, flash a factory image and start fresh. Follow method #2 here:

Yes...I'm comfortable with fastboot/adb........I have it installed....
Thru fastboot/adb.....I pushed the stock image onto the Nexus.....
I found the stock image in TWRP.....attempted to install....it quit within 5-10 seconds...
by going into the same boot loop as before with the toolkit.......
Pushed chroma rom.......samething.......
While going into recovery..(4 hours of frustaration).....I hit factory reset by accident.....
At the moment...the phone is in an endless bootloop..."Unable to mount E:".......and will not go into TWRP anymore.....

First of all, you don't flash a factory image through TWRP. It must be flashed with fastboot. Second, if you can access the bootloader, you're probably not bricked. That thread you linked is for a 100% bricked device.
Why is it that every time a toolkit users gets into trouble they post their question here instead of in the toolbox thread

Guys, I don't have the original image and the only image I have on my SDcard is eclair 2.0-1.2

I am in recovery mode and my G1 keeps rebooting over and over since I wipe the factory default.
I apologize for not using the search button because I don't see any answers, or maybe I just want direct answer.

Stop blaming the guys making the ROMS for your own F-up.
Learn to read the instructions.
ALL of them.
Don't blame them for the fact you didn't read THIS :
first you will need these things haykuro spl,ext3/linux-swap if you dont have it and if you do wipe them clean
The please provide links for those kinds of software.

You should be upset at yourself for not reading the clear instructions that are inherent in nearly every ROM update procedure. READ the instructions.

If u r using stock recovery u should b serching for something like Fastboot or adb, if u using cyan's or RA's recovery that just find different room to flash.It would b nice to know Phones specs...SPL, Radio, REcovery etc. just like what i got in my sig.
For future references post in Q&A thread or where is the ROM u flashed is, Provide some info if u need help.

Since you're too cocky and too ignorant to do most of the things on here, I suggest you put your phone back to stock as soon as you figure out how to flash images. Get the "recovery image" from here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html, then go ahead and get a card reader, drop the file on the reader, rename it update.zip, boot into recovery, alt+s to flash it, alt+w to wipe, then reboot.

I am on my. Way to return the phone to best buy. I was rooted and with an unlocked bootloader and had TWRP. I used the Nexus Toolkit and relocked the phone before flashing stock and now it won't boot. It just shows the team win logo flashing over and over. Please please help as they close in 30 minutes.

Hold the power and volume down button until it boots into recovery. Then plug the phone into your computer. Download the stock 5.0.1 zip (luckily I already had it downloaded). Use the toolkit and unlock the bootloader. It will say its successful but the phone will boot loop again. Boot into recovery and should say the bootloader is unlocked. Then flash the stock zip file and it should work! I had to figure it all out as I went because I couldn't figure it out online lol.

Not in the slightest . Your analysis is flawed. You assume this problem was caused by not understanding the underlying structure but it wasn't. It was caused by failing to follow directions. Which would have caused him problems had he used ADB or not.

How is it skewed? If, when he first got his phone, he unlocked and rooted in the normal way and not used a toolkit. He would have known how to use fastboot, including how to flash stock and lock the boot loader. He would not have used a toolkit today and wouldn't have used the wrong order and this thread wouldn't exist.
If you're an advocate for the cheat way and the way that makes it harder for us to help people, so be it. But 95%.of us prefer users to learn things properly and not become a burden to the forum. But you can help them all. Good luck with that.

how to properly root.
1. run the command "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot. this unlocks your bootloader.
2. flash a custom recovery via fastboot.
3. flash the latest supersu in your new recovery.
4. reboot with root.
5. woohoo!
this takes about 3-5 minutes.

You can use adb. Fastboot is used for the oem i lock and recovery flash. If you want to put the supersu file on the phone without downloading it on the phone you can just adb push and flash in recovery. Done.

@rootSU
For those curious. I figured I would check back in with this thread. I did not use a toolkit to begin with. I have the sdk properly set up and know my fastboot and adb commands and the difference between both. What I did:
1. Fastboot oem unlock
2. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (it was twrp)
3. Booted into recovery and it would not let me access the recovery, just kept flashing the TWRP splash over and over and over.
The issue I think for me, was that I did not wait until the Nexus had wiped itself and booted back into Android to rebuild the file system. Hence TWRP farting out. I simply started from scratch again, flashed all the proper stuff that was needed and followed steps, and I was alright after that.
I have since returned the device though and exchanged it with a new Nexus 6, because my back cover had started to pop up in the top right corner above the power and volume buttons....but THAT is another story for another thread : p
Cheers all!
PS: It has been a while since I have owned a Nexus device, hence my own failure to follow the rules. Things have changed a bit with this Nexus it seems, and it was my fault. I am all good now though (or I will be after I set up this new Nexus 6)
PSS: No toolkits were used, or will ever be used in the creation and resolution of this debacle. My life is hard enough without blindly wandering through the forest of Android customization with my hand held by a complete stranger.

after fastboot oem unlock, you have to reboot once before flashing the recovery. rarely it doesnt stick, so you just flash it again if nothing appears
So I accidentaly flashed the wrong root file thus making my systemui continuously crash. Any suggestions as to what I can do?

Stock recovery or TWRP?
Are you looking to undo what you did without having to do a complete wipe, or are you open to more drastic solutions? Because you can always run the toolkit to reset to complete stock by flashing the stock images over your current system. But that would of course perform a complete wipe.

I actually used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/tool-moto-x-pure-edition-recovery-t2897819 when I was messed around, but I would imagine either would work. When I needed to return to unrooted stock, I believe that toolkit returned me to 4.4.4 unrooted stock, then I just ran the 5.0 OTA once the phone booted up.
The toolkit you referenced is the one I used to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and root my phone. As long as you can get to recovery or fastboot, either toolkit should work to return you to stock. BUT I caution you, I have a pure edition, and these toolkits were made for the pure edition. If you do not have a pure edition, you'll want to read the disclaimers/instructions/other posts to make sure it will work on your phone.
Okay so this escalated quickly.
So here I am being my dumb self , I try to flash TWRP. That goes fine and then I try to wipe my data. After that I reboot it and as its turning on it foes black on the boot animation. and now I cant even get into freaking recovery mode. I dont know what I did but im pretty sure I messed up bad. I need some serious help now and anything is appreciated.

Bootloader as in vol. down + power button right? Thats not working too. I also tried other combinations to no luck. And before it was turning on but now its not even booting to the boot animation. Thanks for the link though, if it does magically boot into the bootloader then i'll know what to do at least.
Edit: Okay so theres the charging animation, so thats a start, I guess. Still no luck on the bootloader tho.
Okay got it into bootloader mode!
Now before I do any other stupid thing can somebody just confirm one thing for me? On Graffix's website, this is the img I should flash through mfastboot right
Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 FULL IMAGE PACKAGE Zip
Just a confirmation because I dont really trust my judgement. Thanks again everybody

I agree that Toolkits can make you lazy and not learn how to fix things on your own, but when you need a quick fix and don't have time to figure out what is going wrong, it's always nice to just boot your phone into fastboot or recovery and fix things with a few keystrokes on your computer.
I got it to work guys! Thanks for all the help. It was much appreciated.
Okay. so after hours of searching and reading about unbricking my nexus 6. I am lost, and very desperate.
So, I unlocked my bootloader, and rooted my phone today using chainfire cf auto root. and all went well. The primary reason I did this was to edit the build.prop file to enable wifi tethering, and this is where my problems started. Using root explorer I added
HTML:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
to the end of the build.prop file. I rebooted and now I'm stuck in a bootloop on the google screen.
I did not have a custom recovery installed, so flashing a new rom isn't that easy. I have looked into flashing twrp or cwm from the stock recovery adb sideload feature, but I haven't gotten this figured out either.
So that brings me to where I am at now. I still have an unlocked bootloader, which I guess is leaving me some options, but I just don't know where to go to find information which isn't going to further muck this situation up.
Help, please. I don't have a backup phone. And I am getting desperate.
Thanks in advance
Reboot to the bootloader, flash stock system.img

very first off.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/attention-questions-t3228454
meaning, you wont get help if tou do ont post it in the right place.
secondly, you have two choices, flash twrp then flash a rom, or flash the factory image(just system.img). what your pro lem is tgat you used a toolkit, instead of learning thd very easy proper way. now you dont know how to do things. its rwally easy to flash twrp via fastboot, and its very easy to flash a factory image using fastboot as well. now ill ask a mod to move your thread into the correct area..
thanks

Sounds like you've jumped into the deep end a bit too early... The best option for you is likely to go to your device's forum, here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus
There you can probably find information and guidance on how to root, flash and install stuff to your device. And you'll be able to ask for assistance from other users that have the same device as you (not every device works the same, and that is especially true for Samsung).
A couple of tips for you, going forward:
Do your homework. Read as much as you can about the modifications you're trying to do, and Android modification in general (but remember that things can change fast and a guide you find might be very outdated by the time you read it. The forums are usually the best place for up-to-date info).
Make backups! Always make sure that you have a backup of any important data, and don't store it on the device.
Know how to go back to a working state when you mess up, because mess up you will (everyone does at some point). This tip is of course tied to the first one...
Don't follow some guide or video blindly. Make sure you understand what every step of the process does. That way you won't get stuck like this next time.
Good luck.
