flashable 04.02 bootloader zip - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I have my nexus 7 2013 running PA 3.99 and already have TWRP 2.6.3.
My bootloader version is FLO-04.01.
Is there a flashable [from TWRP] zip that will upgrade the bootloader to 4.02 (latest), without the need to connect to pc and via adb?
Also, will upgrading the bootloader, lock it again?
Thanks.

how did you flash the TWRP?? do it as the same way you did flash custom recovery using fastboot

Bootloader out-of-date

Hello everyone!
I attempted to flash a ROM the other day for my M9. I got an error because my bootloader is out of date (requires 1.2.50.1.36). Is there a place I can download an up-to-date bootloader? If not, is there a place where I can download a stock ROM ZIP for the old bootloader, and then update both the system and bootloader with an OTA?
Thanks!

You don't need to update the bootloader as long as your aren't switching major Android versions.
If you want to flash the bootloader: download the factory image and extract the bootloader .img file. Flash that thing via fastboot.
Or you can simply do it via flashfire. In the settings is an option for flashing the bootloader.

OOS 4.0.3 and TWRP 3.0.4-1

I am currently on OOS 4.0.2 with unlocked bootloader but stock recovery. Will taking the 4.0.3 update do anything adverse with having unlocked bootloader or should I flash TWRP 3.0.4-1 and then flash full 4.0.3 ROM?
What are thoughts on this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can take OTA if have stock recovery
whit TWRP dont take OTA or will brick phone
You can wait for OTA, unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with it. If you don't intend to flash root or anything no need to have twrp.
If you install it though, don't flash partial OTA files but full rom zips only.
If you wanna flash ota use stock recovery but if you have full zip file of 4.0.3 go for twrp and flash it

Can I relock bootloader from latest stock beta OS and stock recovery?

Hi,
My OP5T has unlocked bootloader with stock recovery and latest stock beta OS. Not rooted, not modified in any way.
I would like to relock the phone. I understand it will wipe everything.
Can I relock from the current latest beta just via adb command or should I revert to some specific OS version?
