Galaxy S2 Plus CM13 Marshmallow Custom ROM installation guide:

Mandatory things before CM 13 flashing

– If you were on CM 10.1 or a stock ROM prior to 4.2, upgrade to 4.2.
– Install ClockworkMod recovery with SELinux support. Older CWM will result in a “status 7” error.

STEP 1:

Copy the ROM and GApps zip file (and the NFC destroyer for i9105 users) to your phone(By using a USB cable or via adb push command).

STEP 2:

Enter into recovery mode by pressing your device specific key combinations.
Or else if you are on a pc with USB driver and adb installed, then type the following command:

$ adb reboot recovery

STEP 3:

Wipe system partition, cache, data and dalvik cache.

If you don’t know how to do this then here is how to wipe data using TWRP recovery.

This will delete all your data on your phone. You may consider backing up your phone data or take a nandroid backup. Here is how to take NANDROID backup using TWRP recovery.

STEP 4:

Select the Install Zip from SDcard option.
Select the CyanogenMod 13 ROM file, let the installation complete and then reboot.

IMPORTANT:
For i9105 Galaxy S2 users, (which basically lacks a NFC chip) flash the NFC destroyer recovery flashable zip file before booting into the NEW ROM.

Complete the initial setup, reboot to recovery and then flash the GApps package and reboot again and enjoy Galaxy S2 Plus CyanogenMod 13 ROM based on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1. After this CM13 installation you may want to enable ROOT access on your phone and here is how you can do that:
