Flashable zip for new bootloader - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have a flashable ZIP for the new 4.2.2 bootloader?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Flash it through fastboot

Fastboot seems a bit dicey for my tastes. Is there a flashable zip for this anywhere?

Add me to the list of people looking for this zip.

Why update it?

The flashable zip can be found in the nexus 7 android development section and it's always a good idea to run the newest bootloader

Dicey? It's super easy! No risk at all. I just learned how to do it a few minutes ago and I was pretty impressed. Now I can use it to unlock devices without using toolkits anymore! When you have the time, you should learn it and give it a try. It's nice to learn new things.

I'd love to try flashing some custom ROMs to my phone. I did this with the ICS one but it was just a simple matter of putting the ".zip" file into my SD storage and going through the power button and volume up buttom directions. Is it the same thing with this one? or do I have to add a bunch of other stuff like CMW recovery and all these different type of things?:silly: I'm a true noob lol
Yeah you gotta flash the ROM and gapps through cwm or twrp recovery

Flash twrp, then find a zip file with the recovery you want and flash that? Or buy flash image GUI from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui sounds like that does what you're looking for

If your using windows use a toolkit. By the way, before you ask a question on here search online all you can and use this as a last resort.

If you have to rely on a toolkit, you shouldnt be modding ANY device.
Then guide doesn't say that tho I'm using the [[REF]] all in one nexus 7 jelly bean android development thread then go down to guides and tools click on unlock and root a nexus 7 I'm using that guide

really?
path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img really doesnt make you wonder where that file is?
put the recovery.img file in the same folder as your fastboot.exe
run the command
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img <<this should be the ACTUAL name of the recovery filled in by you, whatever it is named.
ALSO
remember earlier when i told you to update the adb and fastboot files? (SDK) did you actually do that?
this stuff isnt rocket science, and if you dont have basic computer knowledge, you shouldnt be doing ANY modding of your device....this is ridiculous

Do a search in the thread for 'r171' and you should find it. If it's provided in .img , you can use fastboot to flash it. (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Another method is to take any other Franco.kernel zip and replace the boot.img inside using an archive manager on your pc. Then just flash the modified zip in recovery.

Okay, thanks! Any reason why we need to use fastboot rather than TWRP or something?

If its an img file you need to use fastboot. Twrp will only flash files that are packaged in the correct manner.

Portable 7-zip

Hello, as some of you may know I currently use a computer on which I dont have admin rights, so to flash a factory image, I wanted to use 7-zip portable edition, but it is a .exe file so I cant install it on my phone. What do I have to do?
And when I use this to extract factory images, I just have to place the neccesary files on my computer and flash them in fastboot?

Use ZArchiver, it extracts most files.

On my computer or phone? I am actually thinking why I cant just use winzip or something, because it extracts the files as well right? As long as you get the necessary images out of it you're good to go, not?

So then I can extract factory images on my phone, transfer the images I need to my pc and I can fastboot flash a new android version?
