I don't know about the Skyrocket but if you flash a galaxy S2 rom you're gonna brick your device. There's been a few members who posted this already.
It is the same device minues LTE so in theory it would work. I know they have flashed our roms with no brick only issues would be APN settings. I am not a dev so i could be wrong
Only the Telus matches enough.
So yes or no

No. You would need some kinda conversion tool or something like that
Oh ok thats alright i thought id ask ya now
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
You can. You will then need to edit it to fit the tmobile settings

It's not that bad.
Just need to flash a kernel, modem, and replace a gps.conf, and you should be fine and dandy.
The reason why I say a modem is because of the whole LTE thing, I wouldn't want it to screw anything up on your devices. I know for a fact we can flash your modem, our conversion script doesn't include a modem, so we can use your modem, don't know if it's vice-versa.
There are skyrocket roms in the dev section, safe to flash

Can u please give me the names of them and the instructions
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
They are the same phone except the radio they use. So obviously would need minor tweeking but im sure you could flash with no issue..
My question is why? I just looked at their dev section and they have all the same things we do..
Flash the skyrocket rom you want then flash the zip in this thread right after.

I had a Galaxy SII Epic touch then switched to ATT got the skyrocket. I had roms from the Epic touch on my card. I selected the wrong rom, one for the epic not the skyrocket and bricked my phone. Sent the phone to mobletechvideo and had it unbricked. Super fast turn around good service. I recommend it! http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/contact/
are we allowed to use skyrocket roms on our phone and instructions how because i remember reading before about it thanks in advance.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
make sure its a skyrocket rom and not At&t gsII rom. use a hercules kernel after you flash it. there is more information out there I suggest you use the search feature to learn more on the differences between roms on the two phones.
we need a well written sticky about this subject
ok i see thanks so rom then our kernal one more what is best kernal out for this phone

The phones are almost identical but I wouldnt just assume and trying flashing every single skyrocket roms out there. Use discretion and get a confirmation first from someone who really knows what they're talking about.
ok thanks

Seems to me the development in the skyrocket forum is ahead of ours. Can we flash skyrocket ics rooms without modification from the skyrocket forum or do we have to wait until the t989 devs hack it to work. Also what must be modified to get the skyrocket ics roms to boot?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
All of your questions can be answered in the development thread.
Edit: why are you asking here? According to your sig you've already got a sky rocket...Why not head to the appropriate forum?

His signature probably says he had a skyrocket because he is running one of the new leaks ported to the T989.

Yup. My question is have the devs changed the skyrocket roms to work on our device or can we use them as is?

I wouldnt chance it and wait till the skyrocket ports come to our t989...the software jus might be dif enough to brick your phone...let the devs do there magic
Before the latest leak, I flashed SkyICS without a problem. Just had to flash the autorotate hotfix and a T-Mobile radio.

Not to be too off topic but this was the ROM I've been curious about trying. Hows the battery life? Many people say its awesome, is it better than any ICS ROM we have now?

Didn't you just say you already flashed a Skyrocket ROM? What are you even asking? It sounds like you are answering yourself.

I couldn't report on the battery life, I had the caller hearing themselves echo loudly so I went back to cm7. Which is badass btw.

So my question is 1.can it be done and 2. How do you do it

yes it can be done but unfortunately i have no idea how
all i know is you would need someone who is willing to create or port a custom recovery that supports it..
it can't be done with the currents recoveries available for this phone
Great question. It would be amazing if it was done.
That would be epic!

I sold my daughters epic 4G to someone on Craiglist with cm9 installed. Sprint can't provision the phone because it has a custom rom. Is there another way besides me putting stock rom back on the phone then activating then putting cm9 back on the phone? Thanks for the help.

The Sprint activation bloatware is not on the AOSP ROMs and they are keyed to Touchwiz.

A little late I realize, but you could have gone the temporary boot route.
