Attempted to flash Liquid Jelly Bean, then got stuck on the animation boot screen. I've tried Root tool kit for unbricking and setting it back to stock. Tell me it's successful but stays stuck on the animation screen.
I've also tried to unbrick manually however even though I have the correct files placed in my Platform Tools folder of Android SDK ... I constantly get stuck at the CMD prompt steps. Any time I type in "ADB reboot loader" or ..."fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img" or anything similar I get the error message in CMD saying "___ Is not recognized as an internal or external command"
I'm not sure what to do. The bootloader does say that my device is locked, I just can't get passed the splash screen!

"I've tried Root tool kit for unbricking and setting it back to stock. Tell me it's successful but stays stuck on the animation screen. "
Here's an update:
I think I've made it worse ...
Nothing will boot now and it's currently locked. Any time I hit "Start" it says "Booting Failed"
My CMD now says; Error: Cannot Load "Bootloader Grouper-3.34.img"
I'm seriously lost. I've been working on this for about 6 hours now ....
Can you get into bootloader and then recovery by holding the power and volume down buttons? Was ADB actually working before all of this??

Nope. Nothing is allowing me to get into recovery. At first it was just stuck on the google screen now it says "boot failed"

You can't go to bootloader, and press the volume buttons to go to recovery?

No I can't get into the recovery at all. When I turn on the device I don't even need to use the rocker keys to get into bootloader either. Actually my bootloader is a bit different now too. I have the 'Google' logo and at the top the regular options for Start, Recovery, Power Off, etc.
In simple terms: I can't even get to the animated splash screen anymore
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/aosp/nakasi-jro03d-factory-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!

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.

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
Its always nice to see threads like these where the N7 in the face of death but in the end with cutting edge medical technology it is brought back to life and healthy.
I don't have an unlocked bootloader and i flashed the CWM. Now when i try to enter the recovery mode with buttons, nothing happens just turns the phone on normally. I searched for stock recoveries, but didn't found nothing.
I have GRA-L09, B200, Europe Open
Thanks for help!
To get an unlocked bootloader you must go to settings> about phone> build number
and then press build number 7 times
after you did that exit out of about phone then click on the newly-appeared 'developer settings'
there you should find OEM Unlocking and Enable USB Debugging
You'll get it from there.
I have the Dev Ops, but don't have OEM unlock.
But shouldn't you already have an unlocked bootloader to have DevOps?
Don't know. I don't typed any code in to unlock bootloader.
Are you sure you have DevOps?
---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------
And also try to do it not with buttons, but with your computer
I don't know the script for how to boot into recovery mode but to fastboot, for example, you'd type in >fastboot
when your phone is connected to your PC via USB.
Y'know, just search up 'How to use Recovery Mode' - maybe you just did it wrong
Didn't tryed it w/ adb yet.
ADB didn't worked. I'm trying a full hard reset..

That means you have a locked bootloader, so CWM didn't install successfully.
In other words, you need to unlock the bootloader first in order to successfully install CWM.
So, 1st step - visit the Huawei unlocking code request page, taking your time to fill in the form accurately & submit it.
[Btw, if you don't already have a Huawei ID, you can register for one here: http://www-file.huawei.com/en/my-huawei/register
Then use these login details in the above link to request for the unlock code]
2nd step: Once you receive the unlock code from them, use it to unlock the bootloader by issuing the following command in fastboot mode [the asterisks (*) represent your 16-digit unlock code]:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock ****************
Now you can attempt to install CWM. Where are you getting the CWM img file from?

Ok, so it appears you may have corrupted the recovery partition.
Is the phone otherwise booting into the system & functioning normally?
Also, can you tell us what you are wanting to ultimately achieve by installing CWM?
Just to confirm the bootloader is unlocked, run this command in fastboot mode & let us know the result:
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo

As the guys already said, you do not need to install anything in order to update an official rom.
So, let's leave out CWM, bootloaders, etc for now, & help you update only from B200.
When you try using TopperBG's method to update, what happens?
What is your current FULL firmware version? It will be in this format: GRA-L09CxxxB200 - if everything else is as I've mentioned, I'm interested in the Cxxx part.

1. You need to install stock recovery for android 5(unlocked bootloader is required).
2. Then you can use the dload method to update.
3. You can flash TWRP after that because no-one uses CWM.

Sadly I tried flashing multiple system .img and TWRP .img with no luck. The phone ran out of battery and it won't even charge, it goes straight to a screen that says "Your Phone Has Been Unlocked and can not be trusted, etc" I'm completely at a loss.
Ok, your bootloader is unlocked and the black screen with red warning is normal.
Find a recovery for you actual buggy version (Nougat?).
Boot on bootloader and use ADB command:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
And past the return here.

Good evening,
I have trying to get my phone working for a few weeks now to no avail. I can access fastboot mode and it recognizes the device but I cannot access recovery mode. The phone is stuck on the logo screen, powered by Android. When I try to boot to recovery mode, it stays on the logo screen. Any advice? I am willing to try anything at this point.
Thank you!

When you seeing the dead Android you push and hold power button and press volume+ additionally?
We actually do not have a recovery partition. You want to flash it to your current boot slot.
Do this:
fastboot getvar current-slot
this will return your <letter>
then do
fastboot flash boot_<letter> <filename>.img
You can continue forward.
good luck.

To clarify, I assume that the letter will be the partition, a or b. What do you refer to with filename? Is that the zip file with the image to flash? Apologies if the answers are obvious. Just learning over here. Thanks again.

That may or may not be possible.
The first thing I do is fully unlock my bootloader.
For tother people I suggest enabling the OEM Unlock option.
That doesn't me you have to unlock, but it just might save you.
For the OP, did you select the option to OEM Unlock?
Recovering from a boot loop with a locked bootloader might be a challenge.

Hi, I've been using a Motorola Moto G6 Plus for quite a long time now. However, I can't figure out why it doesn't show any boot logo at startup, getting a black screen but a USB signal to my PC in fastboot mode (PC detects it at Fastboot evert S, which is good). Can anyone tell me or help me figure out why this phone isn't giving me boot logo's and fastboot?
First of all i wanna make clear that:
1. Can you reboot to system?
2. Can you reboot to recovery?
3. You have Root access in your phone?
Please consider answring.

Yes, the system works as normal. It runs stock Android 9, not rooted. It doesn't have any recovery installed, and when I try to reboot to ADB, it gives the same black screen as the boot logo and bootloader. The screen is slightly lighting up, so I know it powers up, but it doesn't give the screen I want, the default bootloader screen.

OK, so first of all i wanna make clear that you don't use this phone as primary phone because unlocking bootloader and Flashing have chances that your data might be erased, so BACK Up all of your DATA to a safe place before doing this.
If everything is set, Lets move ahead by unlocking your phone's bootloader and flashing. Watch this this tutorial:
Download boot.img file of your phone &
After that boot your phone in fastboot mode connect it to PC and, type this command in CMD fastboot flash boot (boot.img path)
Hope this helps!

I didn't read your message fully, so didn't back up my phone... Lucky me this isn't my primary phone and it didn't erase anything. It didn't help me though.
