So, I just picked up my new Nexus 7, dinked around a bit with it, then wanted to unlock and root it for alternative rom support. I went about doing everything, except when I went to begin the root, which looked like it was going smoothly, I realized that I did not enable USB Debugging.
I am not able to put it back to stock, nor am I able to load anything to it. I can get into FastBoot but thats it.
Any help would be appreciated. I have searched, but I could not find anything on enabling USB debugging remotely from a Mac. I am on Mac OS.
You're fine. Just search how to setup fastboot on a Mac. (Couldn't tell you, though I'm sure its close to you'd do it on Linux, and you'll need to find the Mac fastboot binary and new system.IMG(possibly a whole reflash)), then just do these commands-
fastboot oem unlock (if you've already done this skip this step)
fastboot flash system system.img
(If this doesn't work, find the entire flash all package and do)-
./flash-all.sh
(Will be something like this, you'll have to research yourself.)
Your best bet might be to use fastboot to flash the stock recovery back on the device and then use adb sideload from recovery to flash a stock system image. That would take you completely back to stock and then you could start over.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. All of the steps listed for the all of the guides require me to eventually put my tablet into USB Debugging mode. I can't do that. I can't boot into the Android system at all. I get the lovely dead robot with read warning symbol.
Is there any way to enable USB Debugging without system access on the tablet? Is this just a paper weight now? I have rooted and such since my original Nook Color, so I am not dunce. I just don't understand how I can do any of the guides if all of them call for me to put the tablet into USB debugging mode.
You only need debugging enabled to use ADB (in recovery or the OS). Fastboot will still work regardless.

Ddi11igaf told you wat to do.
Download the full image and reset it to stock. Start again.
You are never bricked if you can get to fastboot.
:good:
Perhaps this will help:
There is currently, for some reason, no OS installed on the tablet. I do not have any roms or a backups saved on the tablet. I just want to go back to stock and start over.
I can't get into the tablet to enable USB debugging.
Is there a way to get a rom onto the tablet without USB debugging? I realize that Fast Boot works, and so does my recovery, but there is no OS installed, and no way for me to put an OS on it if I don't have USB debugging.
We understand, but you're under the false impression that USB debugging needs to be enabled to use fastboot and flash from there. It doesn't. All you have to do is unlock the bootloader (if you didn't do that already) and flash a stock ROM from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. Download the stock ROM to your Mac and use the fastboot commands someone posted above. If it's not working, it's a driver issue with your Mac.

And how would one go about putting that image on the unit to flash it?
This is what I get when I try to use the one-click method from AndroidRootz:

Your device is now stock and unrooted
However the bootloader is still unlocked
Let your device boot up, set up your device or skip the set-up
Place your phone in USB debugging mode
Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging, If you don't have that option
Use this guide:
Connect USB cable if your disconnected
Press enter to relock the bootloader
If I hit enter after that it simply says device not found. Again, it's asking me to put it into USB debugging, but I can't because it failed to put the OS on the device.
Looks like it was working fine, until it went to write the OS (system). Perhaps the system.img is missing or corrupt. Try downloading it direct from the link I posted above and flashing with that.

Thanks, I have it downloaded. And installed ADB and FastBoot on my Mac.
Do you have the specific steps on how to flash a rom from my computer via fastboot?
You should just be able to:
fastboot flash system system.img
If it's not working, then you'll probably need the fastboot executable from the official Android SDK for Mac, as I know someone from work had an issue flashing with one they got from elsewhere.

I was able to download it, and it sees my device, and I can perform most of the operations, however; As soon as I try to do a flash all this is what I get:

Pretty sure this error was your fastboot binary. You need the one from the SDK for a mac(I guess possibly a problem with your USB port, doubt it though since fastboot was talking to your device)
Device: Nexus 7 (2012) WIFI only
After 4.3 update device started locking up and had to repeatedly long-press power to reboot. Factory defaut fixed first time, Second time (because it started happening again) could not recover from factory default. boot.img will not install and returns a (remote: FileWriteFailed) error.
I've tried multiple cables, PCs, and toolkits with no luck.
I can load bootloaders without issue.
I can format and load system, userdata, recovery (have loaded stock, TWRP, CWM recoveries) all appear to load without issue and work fine but haven't been able to fix this issue.
Once the boot.img flash is attempted, the device locks up hard and a long-press of power is needed to bring it back.
I can boot to Google screen with (Start, Power off, Recovery mode, Restart bootloader options) or directly to bootloader without issue.
First tried restoring 4.3 factory, but have since been trying 4.2.2 factory using Nexus Root Toolkit, Nexus 7 Toolkit, and a lot of SDK command line of fastboot commands. I can run ADB commands if I first get into recovery.
Is there a option I can tickle or something else anyone knows I can try? I'm beginning to think the boot sector of the flash is defective (if this makes sense).
Here's an example of a fastboot update. It hasn't mattered the method, the outcome is always identical. It fails at boot.img flash write failure.

This issue has been resolved. The Nexus 7 was returned to Asus support and the motherboard was replaced under warranty.
My N7 "2012" kept freezing, so I put it in bootloader and tried to do a recovery mode reset to stock. It froze during the process.
Now, the only thing I can do is get it into bootloader mode manually by holding the buttons. It frezes if I choose any of the options from the bootloader screen including restarting the bootloader from the bootloader screen without holding power and volume.
I have tried the Nexus Root Toolkit a bunch of times with the "flash stock + unroot (soft bricked)" feature, testing different factory builds and the best results are below:

PLEASE HELP! Keep in mind that I am a newb to messing with this stuff.
I have read forums and tried things that people suggested to others in similar situations, but I am pretty lost at this point. Keep in mind that my device is almost certainly wiped and definitely will not boot the OS.
Is your N7 the Wi-Fi or the 3G variant?
What was the name of the factory image you were trying to flash?

After doing a bit of research, I've found out that there is a BAD version of the N7 2012 bootloader 4.23 floating around. The unsettling thing is that it's being supplied with a couple of the factory images that come straight from from the Google android devolpers page online. Anyway to make a long story short, I would try flashing the working version of the bootloader first off, then go from there with a factory reset. You can download the the working bootloader (bootloader-grouper-4.23.img) HERE --> h t t p : / / g o o . g l / q A D S A z (sorry about the spaces in the url, I'm new to the forum and can't post links yet, just delete the spaces)
BTW, its the same bootloader for N7 wifi OR 3G. md5 = df53028033c9eccf4fe5ba7bc198ce24
Here's how to install using fastboot:
1. Reboot To Your Bootloader On You Nexus 7 (Power off power button and volume down until you see bootloader screen)
2. Connect Your Nexus 7 To Your Computer
3. Open Up Command Prompt or terminal window (not sure if you are using windows/mac/linux)
4. CD to where you downloaded bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
5. Then type:
fastboot devices (to see if your N7 is connected correctly)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then try the factory reset again.
If you don't have fastboot installed your computer you need it. Makes flashing your N7 a breeze... lock/unlock, custom recovery installs, going back to factory stock, all much more easy with fastboot.
You can get it from the android devolper site, h t t p : / / g o o . g l / 2 q p r for windows/mac/linux. All you need is the SDK tools, not the ADT bundle.

I read that guide.
But that guide seems to be written with the assumption that the device can boot into the OS
No ADB device is found because I can only boot into bootloader.
That part is only for the driver installation. You can skip to the "Extract the Factory Image" part and follow it from there.

Do you have a valid warranty for the N7? I'm asking because it seems that your N7's internal memory got corrupted. I might not be right, but that's my best guess.

Thanks for your help
I bought it 13 months ago (perfect timing, coincidentally, right?), so if I could find the receipt I would still be screwed.
I would still try to send it to Asus or Google. Maybe they repair it for a reasonable price.
(But if you plan to do that try to relock you bootloader with fastboot oem lock)

Guys,
I have the nexus 7 grouper tab and I have been trying to flash bootloader-grouper-4.23 from azoller1's post and my tab does not seem to be flashed, steps I followed.

this clearly shows that my tab was not flashed with the bootloader properly. Even to continue with 4.18 bootloader only, it is giving error

I had a small problem now bro.
Instead of thw command "fastboot erase boot",
I gave the command "fastboit erase bootloader"
Niw the tab is not turning on anymore.
Can you suggest me any solution ?
If you already rebooted ... no, I don't have a solution otherwise you could flash directly the bootloader again and you are recovered from this situation.
That command is incorrect.
Should be - fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
@renildrah I wanted to state only that he needs to flash and not to boot the bootloader image
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Labs
Command is olay bro.. issue is my tab is not even switching on but recognized by PC when connected.
Any possibility to get back my tab??
