$ heimdall flash --RECOVERY <recovery.img>
Keep vol-up & home pressed during reboot to go straight into recovery or img is overwritten by stock ROM
Flash CM13:
Use TWRP to Wipe system, data, dalvik & cache
$ adb push <cm13.zip> /sdcard
Use TWRP to flash CM13
Setup tips:
Activate dev mode by spamming Settings > About > Build
Enable USB debugging
