Factory Restoring Android Tablet Nexus7 2012 wifi via Computer
Here I I'm doing a video on flashing a tablet I'm working on to restore it back to the original Android OS. Jump to 14:55 for the quick copying pasting in the command prompt.
This is not a how to video. I'm just demonstrating how I went through the process with fixing my human errors, and the tablet issue.
Heres the instructions:

We installed 4.1.2 version of the Nexus 7. We save them inside the C:/android-sdk/platform-tools/ folder on computer (they need to be in the same folder as the fastboot file).
3. Extract the archive you downloaded from Google.
4. Take software like WinRAR and extract to C:/android-sdk/platform-tools/ folder.
5. Power Off the Nexus and turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power at the same time until the bootloader screen comes up.
6. Now, plug your device in via USB cable.
7. Open the Platform Tools folder of the SDK, hold down shift and right-click in any blank area of the folder. Select the option to Open a Command Prompt Here.
8. At the command prompt, type the following while hitting enter at the end of each line:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
9. After that is done, type fastboot oem unlock and hit Enter.
10. After that is done, type fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img and hit Enter.
11. Then type fastboot reboot-bootloader and hit Enter.
12. After that is done, type fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jro03d.zip then hit Enter.
13. When the device reboots, power off the Nexus and turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power at the same time until the bootloader screen comes up.
14. After that is done, type fastboot oem lock at the command line and hit Enter.
15. Type fastboot reboot at the command line and then hit Enter.
