Root Trying to Install Villuminati

Okay, so I would really appreciate a noob friendly guide to installing this rom. [ROM] CyanogenMod 11.0 - VILLUMINATI - January 12, 2014 - xda-developers

I'm currently on a rooted D710 on Sprint, and I followed this guide to root: Rwilco12's Android Repository - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710) How To Root

.

That's all. I tried following the instructions for VILLUMINATI, Do NOT use a JB modem
"Flash a safe recovery (if required)
Flash an ICS modem (if required)
Wipe everything except sdcards" And the others, but I get an Error 7 when attempting to flash rom. It kinda scared me and I read a bunch of stuff about bricking so I restored my NANDROID thing.

Anyways so I'm back where I started and I would really appreciate a beginner's guide to installing this rom.

Thanks so much in advance! (The stuff for this phone seems a lot more sophisticated, I used to use an HTC EVO 3D / V 4G, and all I had to do was flash a new rom through my recovery and everything worked)
 
Here's the steps I take. Rite now I'm running a older ROM using agats recovery cwm

1.Wipe data cache and dalvik
2.Flash hoop pope or cm 10.2 nightly
3.Reboot recovery.
4.Wipe all 3 again
5.Flash villuminati
6.Flash gapps
7.Flash correct modem I use EG31
8.Reboot system

4.4 ROMs can take up to 8 mins to boot up give it time.Hope this helps.
