For the moment, I have no way for making a zip file for flash the bootloader and the radio for the N7 3G+
We can do via Fastboot, and it's really easy, but you must come back to Stock recovery if you want to flash the radio.


1. Download The ADB and Fastboot Tools: platform-tools.zip - md5: 15e771613370afe3c70e0be1454d2ef1 - size: 346.8KB
2. Download The bootloader 4.23 Image File: Bootloader-tilapia-4.23.img - md5: 5bdb2e87370cdb1a7ea14bb0c3e21390 - size: 2.1MB
3. Download the radio-tilapia Image file: Radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img - md5: 64920d406852d92b478c3ab17383ecce - size: 16MB
4. Download these 2 files for the Stock recovery : Stock_recovery_Tilapia_KTU84P.img - md5: 4d9a7eef1d6039a0e413480c56daedb1 - size: 5.4MB - and undo-perm-recovery-signed.zip - md5: 929125ca99d4c5a09e582a642a9cb2c8 - size: 125KB
5. Rename the bootloader-tilapia-4.23.img by bootloader
5a. Rename the radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img by radio
5b. Rename the Recovery_Stock_Tilapia_4.4.4.img by recovery
5c. Put these 3 files in where your fastboot folder is installed; ex => => disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "platform-tools" and you will find 11 files:
- aapt
- adb
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- aidl
- dexdump
- llvm-rs-cc
- fastboot
- dx
- NOTICE
- source.properties


6. Don't forget to check the USB debugging in your settings before to go to your bootloader.
7. Go to your recovery and flash the zip file : undo-perm-recovery-signed.zip ==> Flash it if you have a PERMANENT CUSTOM RECOVERY, it's really important. If you don't flash this zip file, the process do not run well ;)
8. Reboot to your bootloader on your N7 / 3G - Nakasig-Tilapia (Power off power button and volume down until you see bootloader screen)
9. Connect your nexus 7/3g to your computer
10. Open up your Command line prompt
11. CD to where your fastboot tools were installed
Code:
[B]C:\Users\R2D2>cd c:\platform-tools[/B]
Code:
[B]C:\platform-tools>[/B]
12. Then type:
(to see if its connected correctly)
Code:
[B]fastboot devices[/B]
[I]- should return a serial number to confirm your FASTBOOT connection -[/I]
Code:
[B]fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img[/B]
(for the stock recovery)
Code:
[B]fastboot flash recovery recovery.img[/B]
Code:
[B]fastboot reboot[/B]
13. Then the first part is finished, reboot to your bootloader and see if all is installed correctly; You can see the new bootloader version 4.23 and you are in the stock recovery and not custom.
14. Now, we are going to flash the radio. You're still in your bootloader, still connect via the usb.
15. Come back to the command lines "platform-tools" and type
Code:
[B]fastboot flash radio radio.img[/B]
for the new baseband version 1231_0.18.0_0409 for 4.4.4.
Code:
[B]fastboot reboot[/B]
16. Reboot to your recovery for confirm the install - You will see the progress bar moving. When it's done, the tab will automatically reboot into normal mode[, if your Nexus doesn't reboot itself, reboot yourself!
17. Delete the 3 files that you flashed "recovery" - "radio" - "bootloader"
18. And now when all it's ok, you are to Android KK 4.4.4 with the new baseband but still on Stock recovery, just come back to your custom recovery now (TWRP or CWM) via the classic way ;)

Well done now you are in KK 4.4.4, with the new bootloader 4.23 and the new radio _0409 :good: :laugh:

Don't forget to click "THANKS" and enjoy a good time with your N7-3G :victory:

If you need you can download one of these files : drivers.zip or - USB DRIVERS r_06 for Windows 7 & 8

If you need more help, you just can see these Instructions =>
[GUIDE] If you need some help for install SDK and ADB drivers in Win 7, you can use this guide which is really good and comprehensive for all of us




Thanks to @phonic and @azoller1

Do I need to do this if I flash the JDQ4.2.2 factory img using the Wugfresh toolkit? I'm quite confused here. I thought it would update the radio and bootloader as well?

When will there be a zip to cwm this? I also got the donate version of the nexus 7 toolkit can that do it? I've been googling for days, I didn't imagine this tablets updating process being this complicated, I've had several phones since the g1 and I don't think I had to do all this for any of them.

Re: [GUIDE][BOOTLOADER][4.2.2] TILAPIA JDQ39 - 4.18 Flash Image Instructions

My baseband shows 1205 is bootloader but 1021 from Android About Tablet, anyone else?
That's depends of your rom. If you stay on Stock, you will see the good radio, but if you use a custom rom which is not use the latest radio, you will see the old radio. It's not really important.

Re: [GUIDE][BOOTLOADER][4.2.2] TILAPIA JDQ39 - 4.18 Flash Image Instructions

You can use it if your recovery is permanent.
What happens if I missed out on that step..? Wouldn't the flashing of the stock recovery over write the custom recovery?

If your recovery isn't permanent, don't use it.
Yes, the stock recovery overwrite the custom recovery.
That's why after all flash, you can overwrite the stock by the custom recovery.

Is it good for you ?

Please help I am not able to go back to stock I get this checking product...
OKAY [ 0.030s]
checking version-bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.020s]
checking version-baseband...
FAILED

Device version-baseband is 'N/A'.
Update requires '1231_0.17.0_1205'

Update: Fix the issue, was in CM 10.1 and for some reason the baseband is N/A but by flashing recovery_stock-tilapia.img in this thread was able to fix it.
