With unofficial CM 13 ROM available for Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, the two devices can be updated to the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow firmware. The custom ROMS come in the form of an unofficial CM 13 source code compiled for the devicesย andย Resurrection Remix as well.ย As these are initial builds, you may expect some bugs at the moment. Moreover, these may not be used as daily drivers right now. With time, you may expect all the features from CM 13 and Resurrection Remix.

In order to flash the Marshmallow ROM, setup TWRP on your device and then proceed. Install the latest build available for your device. Remember to backup everything before you proceed as it will wipe all your apps and data from your device. Download the ROM and follow the instructions carefully.ย Visit the developer page from the sources given below for more detail.ย Warning:ย Once you root or install a custom ROM, your warranty may be void.

How to Install CM 13 on Samsung Galaxy S6

Step 1: Download the CM 13ย ROM 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 AOSPย 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.
