Also, here is the MD5 of the file that I downloaded from this thread (that worked) for all that are concerned:

I used WUGs and it was easy peasy. A couple of clicks and it was done.

Yes, but I'd recommend you get the tilapia bootloader and radio from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2148357.

So how long does flashing the bootloader take via fastboot?

I installed the drivers, checked to see if the nexus 7 was connected (fastboot devices)
then I continued to flashing the new bootloader...it just hangs there.
Its been 3-4 minutes already and nothing happened yet

Edit:
Got it to work...used Nexus 7 Toolkit instead and it flashed!

Not as long as that. I've not done it yet, but I'm guessing a few seconds.

I did flash 4.13, that was by flashable zip though, a few seconds.

If I have recently updated OTA would I need this? just for my own knowlege, why would we need the bootloader? does it not update as part of the OTA or am I WAY left behind?

If you're on the latest ota for Android V4.2.2 then you'll have this bootloader. People who are using custom roms need to update their bootloaders manually as they won't receive the ota.
