For further development, I'm not sure what to say though. I don't own a Skyrocket myself and I depend on external testers to test most of the devices that we attempt to support. New devices are expensive and we cannot afford to buy them all. If people are willing to test, I am willing to build copies for those people to test, but the risks may obviously be significant. Perhaps if you have a Skyrocket that is already in a dire situation (cracked screen, etc) then the risk would be lower. Otherwise I am at a loss because I cannot afford to buy one or more Skyrockets.

I WIL BE GLAD TO TEST! Please keep working in this recovery.
I wiling to sacrifice my SR. We need this recovery.

Don't have much time but here's a build for those that are willing to test:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14945353/twrp2/skyrocket.img

What's changed:
synced the latest CM7 code (we still build in CM7 for now)
using a kernel from CWM 5.0.2.7
forcing rm -rf instead of formatting for all TWRP operations (this doesn't prevent a zip from formatting though)

Good luck and I really hope it goes well and that there's no bricks. Also, stay away from any ROMs that might have a bad kernel that could fry your emmc!

Flashed the new build and installed NexusM0d beta 12. No issues so far. Looking good!

Recovery seems to be working pretty good. A few things I've noticed so far. Tried flashing a T-Mobile rom and it just kept aborting, and is there a trick to flashing from external SD? So far i have wiped everything, flashed Sonja rom, backed up and restored. I'll keep messing with it. Keep up the good work man and I look forward to this recovery. Much appreciated.

Here is an Odin tar that I've created of the twrp recovery img if anyone cares to try is. Flash In the PDA slot In Odin. I flashed it myself earlier. I think were past brick city now, but I cannot be for sure. You know the risk involved. :thumbup:

I just flashed the AOKP build using this recovery. Granted, I didn't wipe System, but you rarely need to anyway as the rom will do that for you. Everything is running fine and no bricking occured! Feels good to be back on this instead of CWM touch.

Did you try moving the t-mobile rom to internal storage and then flashing? That way we can know if it's related to external SD or the T-Mo rom.

There's a pair of radio buttons under the Mount menu for using internal and using external storage. Default is internal. Changing that option should let you install zips from your external sdcard. TWRP supports dual storage and that option lets you choose to use your sdcard for installing zips, backup, and restore.

Try installing the T-Mo ROM again. After it fails, use the Copy Log button under advanced. You should find a recovery.log file in the root of your internal storage (I think or maybe it will go to the sdcard). Pastebin the log for me please.

I flashed twrp with Odin, everything fine so far.
