CyanogenMod has stepped into the support for the long forgotten Huawei Ascend Mate 2 with itโ€™s latest CM 13 source, that will take your device to latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow firmware.

Here is the official CyanogenMod 13 Nightly builds for your Huawei Ascend Mate 2. Hit the download section below and flash the ROM using a custom recovery. As the ROM comes officially, it can be expected as stable. The full ROMย weighs around 287 MBย andย GApps packageย needs to be flashed separately.

We have already listed various Android devices receiving the CyanogenMod 13 port, either officially- click hereย or unofficially- click here.ย Download the ROM and follow the instructions carefully. You will need TWRP recovery setup on the device.

The latest stock firmware has also been listed below just in case if you wish to revert back to the stock firmware.

How to Install CM 13 Nightly On Huawei Ascend Mate 2

Step 1: Downloadย theย ROMย  of your choice from above. Also, download the Android 6.0 Marshmallow compatible Google Apps from the above download section. If you are looking for root after installation, download the SuperSU package from the list.

Step 2: Transfer all the necessary files to you deviceโ€™s internal storage or SDcard. Place the files where you can easily locate it.

Step 3:ย Now boot into TWRP recovery. To do so, turn off your device completely and then press and hold the power button and volume down key for a few seconds. Once you see the TWRPย logo, that means you have successfully booted into the recovery. Alternatively, if you have rooted device, then use Android apps like the Quick boot or Boot Smart.

Step 4:ย Once into TWRP, take a Nandroidย backup. To do so, tap Backup option and select all the partitions including the system, data, boot, recovery, EFS and cache(optional).

Step 5:ย Now wipe the current system. To do so, return to home screen and tap the Wipe option in TWRP. Tap Advanced Wipe and select partitions like system, boot, data, cache, Dalvik cache. Do not, in any case, select internal storage, unless you know what you are doing.

Step 6:ย Now return to the home screen again and tap Install option. Navigate to the ROM file fromย your internal storage and select it.

Step 7:ย Now swipe right on the confirmation action button below to install the ROM.

Step 8: Once installed, go back and select the compatible Google apps zip file from the location in your internal storage.

Step 9:ย Once selected, swipe right on the confirmation action button below to flash them.

Step 10:ย Once installation completes, you can wipe the Dalvik cache or simply chooseย reboot to system option.

Step 11:ย Once you reboot, you should see the new bootย logo. This means that the ROM has been installed successfully. First boot may take a while. If the ROM doesnโ€™t boot or you come across boot loop, a factory reset from the recovery should do the trick. If that fails, you can restore your previous ROM from the TWRP recovery.
