How to install CM13 Android 6.0 Nightly ROM on LG G4 H815 [Guide]

CyanogenModAll International LG G4 owners can now update their ROMs to the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow thanks to this CM13 Nightly custom ROM the CyanogenMod team have just released.

The CyanogenMod 13 release comes with finger print support so your stock OS doesn’t have to, multi-window support, new customization and system UI, better battery management options and much more.

REQUIREMENTS

  • You must have a custom recovery installed on the LG G4 H815 smartphone before you can follow this guide. It doesn’t matter your choice of custom recovery; it can be CWM recovery, Philz recovery or TWRP recovery.
  • You need to root the LG G4 H815 smartphone before you can install the new CyanogenMod custom ROM on your device.
  • The CM13 Android Marshmallow custom ROM is live for the International variant of the LG G4 only. The International G4 smartphone comes with the model number H815.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

  • Don’t start the guide unless you have at least 40% battery power so your G4 device doesn’t shut down during the steps. That’s important if you want to avoid any soft-bricking during the guide.
  • You can install the Android 6.0 Google Gapps package on your SD card if you want to have the Google stock apps running on your LG G4 and its new custom ROM from CyanogenMod.
  • You are wiping the current ROM clean of any data when you follow the guide. For that reason, you want to take the complete backup before you apply the factory reset. The backup button you find from within the custom recovery is the NANDroid backup that is available to all with a custom recovery.
