= Power OFF your phone.
= Boot into TWRP Recovery (While Powered OFF - HOLD Power, Home, and Volume UP buttons for 6 secs).. Let go of the buttons after the vibrate but just before you see the small blue writing appear at the top.. I was holding mine down for too long and it would just boot like normal and not recovery mode.
= Install TWRP 3.0.2-0 by Clicking 'INSTALL' > 'Select Storage' (near the bottom) > 'Micro SDCard' > 'OK' > Click 'INSTALL IMAGE' > Find your TWRP-3.0.2-0.img you downloaded > Select 'RECOVERY' > 'Swipe to Install'.

* Your custom recovery is now successfully installed!
= MAKE A CURRENT BACKUP: Tap 'Select Storage' near the bottom > Select "Micro SDCard" > then "OK"
= Backup: Tick (enable): EFS Only > Swipe to Backup -- Hint: Change the filename from 'Auto-Generate' to 'EFS-ONLY-'
* Note: You should only backup EFS by itself.. You only need to backup EFS one (1) time ever.
= Backup: Tick (enable): Boot, Cache, Data, Preload, Recovery, and System > Swipe to Backup

= 'WIPE' > 'ADVANCED WIPE' > Tick (enable): Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage, Preload, and System.
= 'SWIPE TO WIPE'
= Go back one menu then 'FORMAT DATA' - type 'YES' and press blue checkmark.
= Go back to Main Menu
= Install CM13 ROM by Clicking 'INSTALL' > 'Select Storage' (near the bottom) > 'Micro SDCard' > 'OK' > Find your Official CM13 ROM you downloaded.
= Install Open GApps by Clicking 'ADD MORE ZIPS' > Find your Open GApps you downloaded.
= Install MakePermissive by Clicking 'ADD MORE ZIPS' > Find your MakePermissive you downloaded. (see Root/Superuser notes below!)
= Install SuperSU by Clicking 'ADD MORE ZIPS' > Find your SuperSU you downloaded. (see Root/Superuser notes below!)
= 'SWIPE to Confirm Flash'.
= Wait for completion.
= 'Wipe Cache and Dalvik'.
= 'REBOOT' into system.
* Your System is now successfully Installed!
* After your initial setup you need to tweak a few things:
= Settings > About Phone > Build Number > tapped 7 times = 'Developer Options'.
= Settings > Developer Options > Advanced Reboot = ENABLED.
= Settings > Developer Options > Root Access > Apps and ADB enabled.
= Settings > Location > Change to 'Device Only'.
= Settings > Location > 3-Dots > Scanning > DISABLE (untick) Wifi Scanning and Bluetooth Scanning.
= Pull-Down Notification Panel > GPS (Device Only) changed to disabled.
= App Drawer > Google > 3-Lines > Settings > Now Cards > Turn OFF
= App Drawer > Google > 3-Lines > Settings > Voice > OK GOOGLE Detection > Turn OFF
= RUN SuperSU from App Drawer > SuperSU. (See SuperSU notes below)
= Install and RUN Busybox by Stephen (Stericson) from the Play Store.
= Enjoy!
* ROOT/SUPERUSER NOTES:
= A basic Superuser is pre-installed with this Rom. It does Not give you control. You will not be able to use the traditional SuperSU from the Play Store (updating the SuperSU binaries will FAIL). That's why I included the new 'SuperSU-v2.68'. It has updated binaries and works great with our phones with OFFICIAL CM13 ROM. SuperSU Pro Key can be installed from the Play Store. Busybox must be also downloaded from the Play Store and Installed.
= When flashing SUPERSU you will get a bootloop unless you flash 'MAKEPERMISSIVE'. MakePermissive is needed to change the SELinux Kernel from Enforcing to Permissive.. It does need to be flashed BEFORE you flash the SuperSU. SELinux is a Linux kernel security module that provides a mechanism for supporting access control security policies.
* NOTES:
= Restore during setup does not restore properly from any previous CM12.1/CM13 build, what I mean is that I first selected my most recent setup restore and it went to 'Checking..' then looped right back to 'Choose Restore Point'.. so I chose "Don't Restore".. then it still restored all my Apps.. so thats a bit strange.
* IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MOBILE DATA, PHONE CALLS, OR TEXT MESSAGES ALWAYS CHECK YOUR APN SETTINGS! *
