[Q] can't flash T-Mobile ROM. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

So I read in the one of the Development threads that you can flash a T-Mobile rom on the skyrocket. But each time I do I get a status 7 error. Tried from the Internal SD and External SD. Could someone help?

Only flash a rom for the sr. You're asking for a brick flashing anything that is not for the sr.

Normally I would be right along with you on this, but it is different when it comes to the T-Mobile gs2 T989 Hercules. We are able to flash ROMs for that device. I haven't personally done it, but from what I read you flash : ROM--->Gapps if need be---> Skyrocket kernel. The status 7 error I believe is the updator script recognizing that you are flashing a ROM designed for the gs2 Hercules on a different device. This is a safeguard in an attempt to try and prevent bricks. You will have to edit the updator script I believe
Edit: flash T-Mobile radio as well

"no infuse option"? Where are you looking for? Are you using ROM Manager?
Because officially rom manager does not support the Infuse...
There is a thread in the dev section on how to install cwm.... You need to flash the I9000 version, but you must modify recovery first. Or you could just flash the community kernel with voodoo and cwm.

No problem. There's no way unless you flash a custom ROM that's as closed to stock as possible.

^ agreed! flash a custom stock rom in recovery such as beans or synergy...thats as close as you will get to stock without using odin.
Took me awhile to figure this out.
And what I found out is you have to flash one of the stock roms before the kernel or it won't work. You have to be unlocked of course. Flash any Rom in cwm then after it installs and your still in recovery flash the stock kernel. Here's a link to the kernel

You might want to post in the forum for your phone. Right now, the SGS4G doesn't support any JB ROMs.
Is this your Nexus ROM?
Yeah it is

It keeps saying error in e sdcard/whatever ROM.zip status 0 installation aborted
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If you're trying to install that ROM from a Nexus on an SGS4G, you're unlikely to succeed in anything but soft-bricking your phone.
If you're trying to install on a Nexus, you'll find more people with a Nexus in the Nexus forums.
I have nexus s 4g is this not the forum for it?

This is the "Samsung Galaxy S 4G" section of XDA -- for a phone primarily distributed by T-Mobile. I believe you want the Nexus forums where you found that ROM.

How to port a tmo t989 ROM to the skyrocket?

I'm just curious on how its done?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
You don't have to port it. All you have to do is add your SR's rotation fix to the ROM.

No port is needed. You simply flash: Rom-->Gapps--->Skyrocket kernel. Never used a t989 ROM myself, but that is what I read for install. You may encounter status 7 error flash aborted in recovery when trying to install. If this occurs then the script in the Rom package that checks your devices signature needs to be updated / removed. It recognizes that your device isn't a t989 and aborts the flash as a precaution as you are normally supposed to only flash ROMs for your specific device.
Edit1: Flash T-Mobile radio.

try jt's kernel kernel in cwm before you flash jb - try once or twice..just for s/g
OK, question I pulled up the log from cwm a few times and it kept saying something something about mtd which I know is a partition arrangement it is possible that it's just not re writing positions correctly? If so I probably need to learn how to check md5 checksum
