Install CM 13.0 Android 6.0.1 Stable ROM on AT&T LG G2 D800

Do you want to install the CM 13.0 Android 6.0.1 Stable ROM on your AT&T LG G2 D800? This is a must, especially if you consider the advantages that come along with this latest version or the fact that this is a stable and highly reliable Custom Marshmallow ROM. Let me be your guide once more, but don’t make the mistake of skipping the preparatory steps!

They are necessary if you want to complete the procedure, just as the fact that the version of your LG G2 has to be D800 (you can verify it under Settings> About Phone section) or else you must stop here.

Make sure you have a custom recovery installed on your AT&T branded device. Latest build from TWRP is highly recommended, but there is no problem if you choose the latest official CyanogenMod 13 recovery either.

Make sure you have latest device drivers setup on your PC too in order to transfer the files to your device’s internal storage and don’t forget another very important aspect if you care about the safety of your G2 D800 handset: you have to charge your device as the process could take a while.

Even more, I strongly recommend deactivating the antivirus protection from your computer and backing up your data (it is important to save everything that’s important for you because a wipe will be required) and remember that one major negative aspect related to such a Marshmallow update procedure is referring to the warranty of your smartphone.

I know that you might not like the sound of it, but yes, the warranty of your AT&T LG G2 will get void once CM 13 is flashed. This is normal as we are not dealing with an official update released by Google, but the firmware is developed by third party devs. However, this guide might help you at this chapter: How to Restore the Warranty on your Android device.

How to Install CM 13.0 Android 6.0.1 Stable ROM on AT&T LG G2 D800:

1. On your computer you have to download the CM13 firmware file; you can get the ROM by entering here;

5. After that, just transfer the files;
6. Don’t forget to unplug the USB cord;
