[UPDATED] HTC Desire 816 CM13 Marshmallow ROM

[Linux User]

HTC Desire 816 CM13 (CyanogenMod 13 Marshmallow) ROM has now arrived. Please have a look on the working and not-working features list before you go for flashing. Aslo, it is strongly recommended to have a BACKUP of current ROM before you go to flash this ROM. I have added two ROM links; one from bigsupersquid and another from Garak.

DISCLAIMER:
Installing custom ROM requires a custom recovery to be installed on your device, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup your all data. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you. Neither the developer nor we will be held responsible for any disaster that happens to your device.

– graphics

STEP 1:

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