So I tried uninstalling ubuntu from my dual-boot of Windows 8 and Ubuntu (GRUB booted everything)

I formatted the partition for Ubuntu from Windows I tried booting into windows afterwards and couldn't

I'm simply faced with a GRUB commandline

I tried going into recovery then to command prompt I tried bootrec /FixMbr bootrec /FixBoot

and none of them worked. I am still booted into the grub command line, is there anyway to fix this and boot back into windows?

    Those commands are to be run after booting Windows (Installation or Repair) CDs and selecting Repair, not on Grub.

Reset to default

Try running

bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

with a Windows recovery disk.

If bootrec /fixmbr didn't work, then chances are you've got an EFI-mode installation. If so, the following command, typed from a Windows Administrator Command Prompt window, should do the trick:

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

Some EFIs also let you reset the default boot program from their own user interfaces, but details vary greatly from one EFI to another.
