<p>These pictures tell a story the first picture was of the stock rom that was running on my phone before i rooted it. I spent the entire sunday googling it i followed some steps from htconeroot site i unlocked the bootloader first and went on to flashing the recovery unto the phone it was then that i started encountering fastboot command not found it took me a while to get the command to work the tutorials i found on webupd site wasn't but i found how to install the fastboot and adb commands from lifehacker.</p>
<p>Naturally the next step was to use the terminal to flash the twrp recovery which to my amazement it didn't work so back to googling it was so i searched and searched until i came accross a site that recommended flashing via flashify so i installed the app since the bootloader was unlocked i downloaded the kingroot app and rooted the phone it was temporary since if the phone were to reboot it would unroot itself and i would be back to square one.</p>
<p>So immediately after rooting i went on to give the flashify app root permissions and installed the recovery img file and proceeded to install the supersu.zip which permanently rooted the phone.</p>
<p>The next step was to then flash the cyanogenmod 13 via the twrp recovery which i did and then i proceeded to install the google apps gapps for short which resulted in a lot of problems so i had to flash the cyanogenmod 13 again and download and install the google play services and google play manually.</p>
<p>And luckily it worked and that helped a lot because some apps required google play services to be installed. And this is a process that i started yesterday in the afternoon so from sunday in the afternoon to 3:00 am this morning i was working on it non-stop all the frustrations and letdowns untill finally i got it rooted and flashed the cyanogenmod 13.</p>
<p>But it's there is trouble in paradise it turns out that when you try to call someone with the phone dialer it reboots every time so now i will have to go back to googling again and find some solution or avoid using the phone dialer and stick whatsapp calls such a let down but i have to deal with it.</p>
<p>Life is full of ups and downs.</p>
