Hi guys, here it is download link of Nexus 7 WI-FI (grouper) bootloader v4.23 (stock one shipped with just released android 4.3 JWR66V)
It's not flashable via custom recovery, though.
Flashable version soon (if anyone is faster than me, PM me and I'll post it here :good
for short, fastboot command for flashing:
in fastboot mode, from computer terminal or prompt:
fastboot flash bootloader NAME_OF_THE_FILE.img
complete flashing guide (from adb setup to the end here - thanks to azoller1)
(Download)
MD5 DF53028033C9ECCF4FE5BA7BC198CE24
SHA-1 7B28B45A035EFB9AAD9E61AD09B1906EB5508721
(I don't take any responsibility about procedure, etc. You know the story, bootloader is from Google's factory image)
Thanks, is working well. For People who asks: You can still use 4.2.2- Roms with this Bootloader!
Is there a need this, or some advantage to it?

I tried to flash back to stock 4.3 earlier and it wouldn't let me because my bootloader was still on 4.18
Also, note the fact that the Google factory images website has the JWR66Y stock image instead of the JWR66V that is found here. For me when I was trying to flash the new bootloader earlier today, the version from the JWR66Y version gave me a 'Signature mismatch' error while the version found here did not.

you need a newer/updated SU installer. 4.3 has some new security features so an old SU wont work.

Thank you so much! So from what I understand, this is 4.3 and all it requires is flashing it through a custom recovery and then installing the SuperSU you linked to above and everything will work fine? I was wondering if custom kernels that are designed to work with Sense-based as well as GPE-based ROMs would actually work with that one? They work on GPE 4.2 just fine, like Bulletproof and ElementalX.
Thanks for the update!!! I just flash this in TWR, but it failed to flash...any help???

I get "Update Error (status 0)" when flashing the deodexed version with CWM. I also tried with TWRP recovery, but that fails, too. I verified that md5 checksum matches.
I'm stumped.
hi, if i'm on aosp rom it's better to take the odex or deodexed release ? Thx for your answers.
I get the same error. Thought it was me at first. I tried both deodexed, and odexed with TWRP. Both failed.

I got the same error; Install failed.
I 'm on 4.3 stock with bootloader 4.23 and TWRP 2.6
I am also unable to install the deodexed version. I get a error executing updater binary in zip in both TWRP and CWM. I am assuming its a problem in the updater binary or script file.
odex also fails both TWRP and CWM
Sorry guys. I didn't even know about flashing errors until someone actually msged me today. Will upload the new files with new binary asap.
EDIT: Links updated. Can someone try them for me? Thanks!

I don't have a nexus 7 3g. So no I can't test it. People keep on msging me to release it so I did. I asked people to test it, but everybody wants it and nobody wants to test it. So yes the binaries have changed and I can replace them as see which one works, but I need someone who can test it for me. If you want to be helpful then you can volunteer to help test it, if now stop criticizing. Criticizers are dime a dozen. I am not getting paid for this neither do I owe it to anyone to release it. I do it because people ask and I love xda.

Since there is an international and US version out you guys/gals will be getting OTAs long before us ATT users. If you ever get a notification that you have an update available please let us know here and we will help you pull the OTA. Many reasons we need it. Mainly so when an RUU drops we can decompile it.
OTA is being pushed out to international users. Please let me know when you get the notification

If you are interested in flashing it you must be almost fully stock. As in not flashed the stock rooted odex. If you haven't flashed any roms or kernel then you can just open this zip then open firmware.zip and extract the recovery.img from the zip and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. then you will be able to run the ota

Hi,
I'm using only stock rom, rooted and with xposed mods on my Nexus devices. Because of trying some things out, I want to have a stock rom update.zip from the latest Factory Image on my device to have the security to flash it back to stock without a computer.
So, I've managed with some help this update.zip. It's absolutely pure stock. Not rooted, not deodexed or anything else (to root, there is a link below)
I think, some of you are thinking the same and so I want to share this update zip. I hope you have fun with it.
It works with CWM and TWRP Recovery!

I flashed elix rom to experiment one day this week out of boredom, was just seeing what else is out there - was on slimkat and before cyanogenmon -
Then I wanted to go back to cyanogenmod but when I tried to flash, somehow unknown to me my bootloader seemed to have rolled back....typically I had deleted the zip containing the bootloader about three days previous.
ANYWAY - I just found it again and if anyone else should need it, here is the link to the forum that has the bootloader in it
