Samsung Galaxy S2 CM13 Android 6.0 Marshmallow: This tutorial will teach you how to install CyanogenMod 13 Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 device. This version allows you to port the latest version of Android, Android 6.0 Marshmallow to your SAMSUNG GALAXY S2. The first devices to run Android 6.0 Marshmallow are the Nexus 6X and Nexus 6P. In other words, for the many previously released Android devices, there won’t be an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for quite some time (and there is no guarantee that your device will get updated). You can, however, choose to wait for the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Samsung Galaxy S2 OR you can get Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your Samsung Galaxy S2 via the CM13 ROM. Check out how to Install Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 CM13 Android 6.0 Marshmallow if that’s your version.
Instructions
In order to install CM13 on your SAMSUNG GALAXY S2, 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. There are Marshmallow ROMs for, not only the international Galaxy S2 (model no. GT-i9100), but also for AT&T Galaxy S2 (SGH-i777) and T-Mobile Galaxy S2, Hercules (SGH-T989).
Supported devices
- Samsung Galaxy S2
Downloads
Things you will need:
- Gapps 6.0 Marshmallow Download or CM13 Gapps + any one of the following ROMs
International Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 Marshmallow ROM
- CyanogenMod 13 →→ Download Link | Development Page (International Galaxy S2 For model no. GT-i9100 only).
AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 Marshmallow ROM
- CandySix → Download Link | Development Page (AT&T Galaxy S2 For model no. SGH-i777 only).
T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 Marshmallow ROM
- CandySix → Download Link | Development Page or CyanogenMod 13 (CM13) → Download Link | Development Page (T-Mobile Galaxy S2 For model no. SGH-T989 only).
Those are the two most important set of files that you need right now and I assume that you’ve already installed a custom recovery… you wouldn’t be reading this if you don’t know how to do that, would you? But if you don’t have em already, here are the instructions for installing the TWRP recovery on the SAMSUNG GALAXY S2.
TWRP recovery
- Download and transfer the Samsung Galaxy S2 ROM and Marshmallow Gapps file to your device’s internal storage.
- Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
- Select “Wipe” from TWRP main menu and do a “Swipe to Factory Reset” on the bottom of the screen.
- Go back to TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the CM13 .zip file that you transferred to your device in Step 1.
- 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.
- 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.
- Now flash the Marshmallow Gapps file similarly like you flashed the ROM file.
- After flashing both Samsung Galaxy S2 CM13 and Gapps, Reboot your device.
OR
Cyanogen recovery
- Download and transfer the Samsung Galaxy S2 ROM and Marshmallow Gapps file to your device’s internal storage.
- Boot your device into Cyanogen recovery.
- Select “Wipe data/ factory reset”, then select “Yes” to confirm.
- Now select “Apply update” from the main menu and select “Choose from internal storage”.
- Select the Samsung Galaxy S2 CM13 ROM file that you transferred to your device in Step 1 above.
└ It may begin to install without confirmation. - Once the Samsung Galaxy S2 CM13 ROM is installed, flash the Marshmallow Gapps file like you flashed the Samsung Galaxy S2 CM13 ROM.
- After flashing both Samsung Galaxy S2 CM13 and Gapps, Reboot your device.

Hi,
Thank you for you article!
I installed on my Samsung Galaxy S2 CM13. That works.
During the install of the CM13 I tried with CWM to install the Gapps6.0 but I kept getting errors.
How can I install Gapps 6.0 afterwards on my S2?
Kind regards,
Johan
I am glad that the CyanogenMod works on your Samsung Galaxy S2.
Furthermore, you can try one of these to get the Google Apps: https://www.orduh.com/cyanogenmod-13-android-6-0-google-apps/
You have to repartition with a .pit file looking for more space.
