Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 keeps getting Status 7 when installing CyanogenMod

Question

I'm trying to install CyanogenMod rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100.

I have root (checked with root basic app).
Successfully installed SuperSU Pro.
Downloaded the third+fourth Cyanogenmon from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type=nightly (I tried installing both files since the first wasnt installed)

And it gave me the Status 7 error.

I edited the first part of the "updater-script" file as said in any tutorial on the web and tried to install - I got the same message.
I tried enabling "Toggle Signature Verification" and still doesn't install it.

What can I do?

Am I doing something wrong?

Am I using wrong versions?

So there isn't a problem on my side of the process? Where is the developers site? — Rick Sanchez, Oct 13 '14 at 6:45

@HasH_BrowN "Double check that the Rom/Mod you are flashing matches your phone model." Am I downloading the right one for sure from what you see? I'm downloading Samsung Galaxy S II (Intl) - i9100 / nightly download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type=nightly — Rick Sanchez, Oct 13 '14 at 9:56

Here is a FIX I found for you. Read thoroughly. This will solve your problem.

The first mistake that most people make is flashing incorrect/old/outdated version of recovery.

The second mistake is not matching the correct/proper ROM/firmware to the device hardware.

Incompatibilities when flashing account for the majority of failed installations.

Always make backups/nandroids
