Open the command prompt IN the directly WITH fastboot

Fastboot oem unlock

Then wipe / flash factory images. Fastboot -w update image whatever the image name is.

Then uninstall / delete that stupid toolkit and never use them stupid craps again.

Are you still able to communicate with the device via fastboot? If you issue the command 'fastboot devices' does it return a serial number?

Edit: I'm going to bed so if you are able to use fastboot, download the factory image pack from https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aos...y-e102ba72.tgz

Extract the archive. Inside are there will be an install script, manually issue the commands contained in the script in fastboot. The only thing you need to add is the location of the .img and .zip files from the archive you extracted e.g. 'fastboot flash recovery c:/Users/name/desktop/recovery.IMG'

There is no reason this will not get you up and running again.

Thanks for your response.
I've followed the instructions in the file. From previous research, I've had these files. My device does communicate with Fastboot. When I give the command for Devices it gives me my serial. Also, when I ask it to reboot-bootloader in CMD it does.
My issue is when I get to "Fastboot flash bootloader-grouper-3.34.img". CMD states "Error: Cannot load bootloader-grouper-3.34.img"
I've followed the commands previous to that. (Erase boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata)

Yes my device is unlocked again, but I still can't get into recovery mode. It just tells me "Recovery Failed" in small text in the upper left hand corner of my N7.

UPDATE:
After unlocking the device again. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to restore to factory settings and it worked
The Problem: My device was no responding correctly to the toolkit when locked.

Cheers for the help. I'll attempt to root again, hopefully no problems this time If there are I'll be sure to post again!

Thanks to everyone that replied.

For the love of God..stop using the toolkit from here on out.. learn how to use ADB and Fastboot so you can avoid these issues.

So you erased the recovery then wonder why you could not boot into recovery....

You flashed or tried to flash the bootloader. You already had the same bootloader installed and there was no need to do so to try and fix your issue.

You still don't know what you're doing and are back using the tool that lead you to this issues. A toolkit. Learn what you're doing and you wont face this type of silly issue again.

I think you should reread this post and hit the thanks button of everyone who took the time to help you out of this mess - its good manners. Oh, and learn how to use adb & fastboot

If you try to fastboot flash all you get nothing?

nvm you fixed it, good job

Don't use toolkits. Most people don't have a clue what the toolkit is actually doing so if something goes wrong they aren't in a good position
