I want to install a rom. I'm rooted and have bootstrap installed. I want apex 1.4.1 I have that downloaded. Do I add it to my sd card then use bootstrap to boot into recovery, clear cache, etc then install from sd card?

Yes if you download the rom and save it on your sdcard then you can install it from bootstrap recovery. When you first boot into bootstrap recovery, take a backup. This way you always have a backup to return to in case something ever goes wrong.
In order to install the rom after you have created a backup:
From the main menu of bootstrap use the volume up/down buttons to navigate and the camera button to select. Go to install zip from sdcard. Then browse your sdcard for the apex zip file.

I have rom mgr premium installed and i have tried flashing from there although it says it has successfully when I get into bootloader its another story. I have tried terminal emulater, putting the pc36img.zip on my sd card and nothing seems to work. when in bootloader and it tries to install the pc36 zip it says wrong file or no image. I need some help here. Im running cm7.0.3.1 and it runs very smooth. But this recovery issue is on my last nerve! Help please......
OK, you just need a pc36img.zip recovery file. I say use Amon Ra.
Make sure it;s named PC36IMG.ZIP just like I wrote it.
Put it on the root of your SDCard, boot up, holding volume down and power button at the same time.
NOW it will find the pc36img file and flash your recovery.
It doesnt recognize the zip file! I have tried that several times and I keep getting the same response. No image or wrong image!!! I dont understand why!!!
Hey guy,,is your bootloader S-off?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Yes.... S-off
Try this,,,place your PC36IMG,zip on root of SD,,not in any folders,,then see if it will flash in hboot,,make sure it is named exactly as stated,,if using a Windows pc,,leave off the ,zip ext,,

root of sd?
I just want to be sure here.. I have root explorer on my phone. This is what I have been doing with the pc36img.zip file. I download from media fire with my phone, then I go into root explorer, click on SD card, download folder then I look for the zip I just downloaded. Then I copy the zip and paste it in a folder called root. Does that sound correct? Here is a screen shot(I hope)
Don't place in any folders,,,that's the mistake,,root explorer,download folder,copy pc36ing,hit back button 1 time,then paste,,boot into bootloader,hboot will find it,just follow onscreen instructions,,hope this helps,,

I'm not seeing the boot folder??????
I see a folder called bootanims?? Is that it?
Dude, by ROOT FOLDER, that means not in ANY folders on your SDCard. Just put it on the card itself. The path needs to be /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip and the way I have it capitalized is how it MUST be.
Also, make sure with root explorer that it doesn't say PC36IMG.zip.zip
No,,go to the pc36img,,the one you downloaded,,copy,now hit back once,paste pc36img here,.now back out of root explorer,,,power phone off,,,hold volume down and hold power button till bootloader screen turns on,,it will find ing file and ask if you want to update,,volume up for yes,,let it flash,,then it will ask for reboot,,volume down for no,,press volume down 1 time,,then press power,,will now load into recovery

I've been trying to do a backup of my 4.2 stock rom and its not working. It goes through the motions like it successfully completed but it doesn't save. Anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Check in /data/media/ for a clockworkmod or CWMR folder (not sure what it names it's folder, I use TWRP)
Pretty sure it's due to 4.2 changing the file structure

Most likely it's backing up but it's backing up to /data/media which you do not have access to once you are in Android. Can you see it when you tap "Restore" in CWM but not in ROM Manager? If this is the case I wrote up a solution for this that solved this issue for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991657.
I know it not backing up because I have the same amount of storage that I had before the backup.

I did a search here and on Google of course and couldn't find any definitve information.....but, does anyone know the partition mount points for cache, system, data, and boot?
I just got my Nexus 7 and one of the things I missed dearly from my Rezound was a Superwipe script, so I'm trying to modify the one for the Rezound to work for the N7. Any information devs could provide would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Once I get it working, if I get the permission from the creators of it, I will release it here for everyone.
Good thinking, I'll make a look when I get a minute and see if I can help

I am interested in this too. I want to port my AIO wipe tool. I can get /system from a ROM install script. If it's possible, using ls -l (I think) and matching the output from that to the output from mount in terminal emulator. I plan to do the research either over the weekend or tomorrow evening.

This is taken from the android kitchen op as a method for finding the mount points within a specific Rom. It should work for any one in the dev section.
"If the stock ROM images for your device contain the recovery.img file, extract its files from the kitchen menu: Advanced --> Tools for boot image --> Extract from boot.img/recovery.img in any folder. Then, open up its ramdisk folder, and look for /system/etc/recovery.fstab or /etc/recovery.fstab or similar FSTAB file location. Open this file to find the mount points." Hopefully this helps ya

Ya you don't necessarily need to use the kitchen to extract the img files you can use any 3rd party to do it because really your only observing the files not changing anything

Also, just remembered that CWM recovery logs usually have that too. Going to check if I can find a log that will open, for some reason the ones in /cache/recovery/last.log won't open for me.
Edit: CM file explorer worked fine to open it, but the log didn't have the actual partition numbers. If someone gets the info, please post, otherwise, I will see what I can do at work tomorrow.

A friend informed me on how to get the mount points info through a dB, so I did that. The person who made the flashable Superwipe is looking into it tomorrow and then I'll test it when he's done and if all goes well, see what he says about posting it in the dev forum for everyone.

@OP I guess your search-fu was off, I found that in under three minutes.
For anyone's future interest I found it by searching for: nexus 7 partition layout xda
Edit: Will do some peeking at a ROM script tomorrow (if I have time at work) and port my tool. Last time I ported this to a device with JB native was SGS3 and the person who flashed a ROM afterwards got an error about 'error encrypting' he couldn't tell me anything more and I don't have that device and don't have that issue with my G2x's hacked JB, so I said eff it.
I keep getting this error when I try to do a backup from the ROM manager app.
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/1.2014-06-15-22.24.53]
Using the app to make a backup used to work. Trying to save to external.
How do I specify the destination?
I can the backup manually, which I've done via rebooting into recovery and choosing the option to install to sdcard1.
Idk what to do to have the app select the correct path.
Any help appreciated.

You don't say what operating system you are using and what version of CWM.
Edit: Your other post says you are now running CM11 and CWM v6048. That is why it is different, you just installed a new CWM. v6048 uses a different path for backup. I don't know how to fix it for you with ROM Manager.
