I got my towelroot on nice and tight, because I had a loose towelroot once and it fell of and crashed my phone.

This will be what the G900F international version got about two weeks ago. People report better performance, but it's all unverified claims like always around here. My guess is, and it's just a guess, that this will close the towelroot kernel exploit and get pushed as 'performance' so people update which is a good thing since technically it could be exploited for bad scary things!

edit: The official documentation from T-Mobile is live: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10398 -- and nothing worth reporting. Still lists VoLTE as new but that was the previous update.

ok i just did the up date with mobile odin pro and after reboot i still have towel root working so that is a good thing now to see what is this performance up grade.oh when you do the up date you will need to run su to update binary again.
Put the .tar file SD card. or phone storage
Open Mobile Odin pro.
Scroll down to open file. Press it.
Chose the .tar file.
Checked Enable EverRoot and Inject Superuser.
I choose to wipe dalvik cache which is optional.
Clicked flash firmware and that's it!
you will also need to download the bootloader+modem tar and flash them with odin-3.09 from pc.link to tar are here make sure you use the G900T for t-mobile
Good luck.

Could somebody point me to the mobile odin pro instructions to keep towel root? i have searched and searched and cannot find that thread with the instructions to do so... I would greatly appreciate it.

For anyone who updated, what's the total RAM available in the task manager? NF6 was 1.81 GB, the international NG2 update (and ktoonsez new update) have 1.67, apparently more RAM is dedicated to the GPU now. I haven't really noticed a difference when ktoonsez included that change...

Confirmed root is preserved via mobile odin pro - only thing bootloader is not updated..still shows NF6.

Anyone else notice download speeds took a dive again, as happened with a previous update? If I'm not mistaken they released an update that restored the download speeds back to normal.

Can you detail the steps you do to update and keep root. TIA

I'm still downloading
Put the .tar file SD card.
Open Mobile Odin pro.
Scroll down to open file. Press it.
Chose the .tar file.
Checked Enable EverRoot and Inject Superuser.
I choose to wipe dalvik cache which is optional.
Clicked flash firmware and that's it!
Good luck.

Does the bootloader version got update also or do we have to use odin from computer to update bootloader.

    So i downloaded the Odin Flashable Firmware Only Tar from here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761412 ) which includes the bootloader and modem and flashed it with mobile odin pro but my build number still says NE6 any ideas why? Thanks
    mobile odin does not flash bootloaders. you need to flash the firmware only file in pc odin use the cp slot not the ap or pda.
    . then flash the full tar file in mobile odin. tick everoot and inject supersu to retain root.

    ok so i am completely new to the s5 (im coming from a s3) my question is should i update? my baseband version ends in NCH. and im seeing all this talk about NE6 and NF6 and its all a little confusing. what are the benefits is any to update? should i update to NE6 or NF6 ? if so how do i do it and keep my root ? and yes i am rooted used towelroot (thank you geohot) ,sorry for the noob questions :(
    ng3 is the newest firmware. if you want to be rooted and keep your warranty you need to root before upgrading . then upgrade with mobile odin pro. you may want to read this thread first http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2790292
