LG Optimus G CM13 Android 6.0 Marshmallow download and installation tutorial: Recently we talked about how to Install Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE i9195 CM13 Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Now, this guide takes you through installing Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your LG Optimus G via the CyanogenMod 13 custom ROM.

Instructions

In order to install CM13 on your LG Optimus G, you first need to download the CM13 ROM and simply flash it using a custom recovery like TWRP or Cyanogen recovery (which is available for most devices) with a factory reset/wipe data. The necessary downloads are available for you below. Before you continue, you should note that you would be required to download and install the necessary Gapps package for your version of Android. Currently, we have a Gapps 5.1 Lollipop Download page but for this ROM you will need the Gapps 6.0 Marshmallow Download. We also have CyanogenMod specific Gapps packages that work with most custom ROMs.

TWRP recovery

  1. Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
  2. Select “Wipe” from TWRP main menu and do a “Swipe to Factory Reset” on the bottom of the screen.
  3. Download and transfer the LG Optimus G ROM and Marshmallow Gapps file to your device’s internal storage.
  4. Go back to TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the CM13 .zip file that you transferred to your device in Step 3.
  5. After selecting the .zip file, do “Swipe to Confirm Flash” on the bottom of the screen to begin the custom ROM installation process. This may take some time.
  6. Once your ROM is successfully flashed, you’ll see “Wipe cache/dalvik” option, select it and then do “Swipe to wipe” on the bottom of the screen.
  7. Now flash the Marshmallow Gapps file similarly like you flashed the ROM file.
  8. After flashing both LG Optimus G CM13 and Gapps, Reboot your device.
