[Q] AOKP Nightly Hercules on Skyrocket - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I have seen numerous places online where TMO Roms have been installed on the Skyrocket and I have been trying for 3 days now to get CWM and TWRP to install the AOKP Hercules. Can anyone tell what I need to do to get this going on my second Skyrocket? Everytime I try to install the rom I get the error or wrong device. CWM nor TWRP will install the rom and let me run the conversion zip.

So what would i need to change the name to in order to "confuse" CWM or TWRP?

Delete the assert lines in the updater-script. You'll need to extract the rom and find the script. It's buried pretty deep in the META-INF folder.

Make sure your cwm recovery is up to date. That was the reason it wouldn't let me flash roms so give it a try.

Download rom manager from the market and flash cwm from that.
Download Rom Manager from the Market. And then Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it will download the latest Recovery.

installing 4.2 gapps

hey had a question about trying to install the 4.2 gapps. im currently running King Kang rom with the kernel that came with it (not 5) and TWRP. after i downloaded the .zip and went to install from recovery it instantly fails every time that i try it. am i missing a step somewhere, or do i need to be running kernel 5 or something?
Could be a bad download. Make sure signature check is off

Download cm10 again ans reflash it, cleanly. Wipe system/cache/dalvik. Then try and flash over gapps. But I'd do another wipe on cache/delvik before you flash it. Just trying to keep the flashing as clean as possible. It also might be a problem with the version of gapps you're using. Do you have the latest?

what recovery are u using? u need to have twrp 2.3.3 installed
I'm using sk8's latest recovery version. If I switch to twrp how hard is it to switch back?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
y would u want to switch back lol? how often are u in recovery anyway to be honest. u only boot into it to flash a ROM. switch to it and see if that alleviates your issue.
I don't like Twrp that's why I would like to switch back. Lol

its broken... so switch. lol I don't see why u would switch back to something that can't correctly flash jellybean ROMs. Someone correct if I'm wrong but I do believe u need twrp to flash aosp based 4.2
How is it broken? And sk8's recovery can flash 4.2 roms correctly that was one of the first questions he was asked in his 4.2 compile thread.

This has been resolved in the Nibbles thread.
Recovery was not the problem. There's a bug in the installation process within Nibbles for the Base Install. Custom installation works fine. Check my thread for details.
Mods, please lock. Thanks!

You have to convert it to Odin tar. There are windows applications to do it. Then flash in Odin.
