Thank you guys for making me laugh again. Now let's help the poor lad, shall we? What type of pipe? Is it white or black? white=pvc cement, black=abs cement. The pipe is plastic, right?
With regard to the crumbling cement, remove all crumbling cement (yes all the old garbage) and repl. with new cement mix. Solvent weld (that means glue it) flange. Flange must be on top of finished floor. Using 1 wax ring (w/o that stupid plastic ring which an auger can get hung up on) set bowl level. Grout with grout color of choice. Then install supply line. Test for leaks. Charge $373.87. Send me half. Then post again. -Tom

You could just instead have a " Rockstar " energy drink and forget all your troubles.

first time i havent been able to drill deep enough to get concrete screws to hold just thought it was weird that the glue wasnt holding even after 30 min of drying time

Something really wrong with that glue ! Get the green can . If you can't get screws into that concrete ,,,, mix up tile FLOOR GROUT ( sanded ) , lay it out were the rim of the toilet will be ,, set toilet on wax ring & grout , tighten bolts and level toilet . Clean up excess grout ,, LET IT SET UP before finishing hook up
