You could download the factory image for your device, unzip and flash boot loader image 4.23 using fastboot...

Yeah, they could do that but alot of people don't feel comfortable doing fastboot. If you are flashing ROMs you should know how to fastboot, but not everyone is at that level yet.

Or for people like me who don't have a PC handy it means getting access to one. Doable but a PITA. I especially hate the root device xxx with this handy all in one program and then getting odd looks when I ask but what if I don't have a PC laying around

You should feel MORE comfortable using fastboot. Less chance for error. It's way safer. People are just too lazy to invest the time into learning. Not you specifically, but a lot of people who just want flashable zips. Some don't have a PC but I still don't know how many people legit have 700 dollar phones and no computer at all. *shrug
If people using android don't feel comfortable using fastboot then my suggestion to them is to move to IOS :sly:

updated to 4.23 bootloader, flashable zip should work
Just wrote this really long text and it all disapeared. Will try to re-write it.
Edit: I'm planning to upgrade to android 4.3 on my Nexus 7 and feel a bit uncertain about a few things. First of all, I'm currently on bootloader 4.13 and I wonder, do I have to be running 4.23 bootloader for 4.3 ROM to work? If I would like to update my bootloader do go firstly to 4.18 and then 4.23 or can I go directly 4.13 to 4.23? Lastly will my bootloader lock if I update it or will it stay unlocked? Thanks in advance !

Plenty of legit people who have $700 phones have a computer but they may not have a PC. The entire world, despite Bill Gates desire, does not run Windoz.

And guys I'm still on the 3.41 boot loader and running android 4.2.2 just fine so it really doesn't matter unless an issue was fixed for the boot loader itself

Just flashed it and I am still on the 4.18 bootloader. I will probably fastboot the new bootloader once the floodwaters recede enough to get back to my house and the internet is back on. Thanks again....:thumbup:
Yeah, I'm still on 3.34 and just flashed Clean ROM 4.3. Running like a champ, although I do miss my AOKP Ribbons.

So? I fastboot flashed the bootloader with my Hackintosh, and could have with my Linux box as well.

228Since i cant seem to make a flashable zip right now im just going to tell how to install it using Fastboot
But if i ever do find a way to make it flashable i will post it here right away
1. Download The ADB and Fastboot Tools: HERE
2. Download The 4.23 Image File: HERE
2a. Rename The File To "4.23.img" so take off a .img
2b. Put The IMG File In Where Your Fastboot Files Are
3. Reboot To Your Bootloader On You Nexus 7 (Power off power button and volume down until you see bootloader screen)
4. Connect Your Nexus 7 To Your Computer
5. Open Up Command Prompt
6. CD to where your fastboot tools were downloaded
maybe: C:\Users\Alex\Downloads\platform-tools
7. Then type:
fastboot devices (to see if its connected correctly)
fastboot flash bootloader 4.23.img
fastboot reboot
8. Then Reboot Back To Your Bootloader And See If It Installed Correctly
FLASHABLE ZIP HERE 4.23 Bootloader- DOWNLOAD DOESNT WORK.....
Dont Forgot To Press Thanks! Enjoy!
IF FASTBOOT DIDNT WORK FOR YOU DOWNLOAD THESE FILES: HERE
THEN FOLLOW THESE INSTUCTIONS: HERE7flashable zip
Hi there,
here´s another try of a flashable zip for recovery for the 4.18 bootloader !
hope it works ...5I just learned the coolest trick that for me makes fastboot flashing much easier. I'm on Windows 8 and my default platform tools location is a mile long and I always type it wrong. I just learned that you can open the file you want to be in, hold shift, right click, open command prompt here... Who knew? So simple, and I had no idea that shortcut existed!
Thanks for giving us quick access to the new bootloader, flashed fine in fastboot.
