Please note:
There is now a stock image with PH3 firmware (6.0.1). This means you can skip directly to Marshmallow and then only need to apply the remaining six updates to get to the latest one.
PH3 -> PK2, PK2 -> PK3/4/5/7, PK7 -> QD1
Your phone is on firmware "OF3". Then you will download these files:
OF3 -> PB1, PB1 -> PH2, PH2 -> PH3, PH3 -> PK2, PK2 -> PK3, PK3 -> PK4, PK4 -> PK5, PK5 -> PK7, PK7 -> QD1

General Remarks (Important):
- This does NOT work for S5 Actives from Verizon.
- These updates WILL REMOVE ALL your data. Make a backup with Smart Switch first.
- You MUST have stock unrooted AT&T software installed for the updates to work
- If your baseband and and bootloader version don't match, there is something wrong and you need to flash stock firmware (look at the bottom of this post)
- Verify MD5 Sums (google it) after download and upload to your SD card to avoid transfer corruption
How to install the updates:
- Determine which version you are on (go to Settings->About Device->Baseband Version or download Samsung phone info and check the firmware tab for the baseband/bootloader version).
- Check the path you need to take to update to the latest version described in the image below
- Download all the files you need from the folder below
- Place all the zip files you wish to install on an SD card and put the card into the phone (no need to rename the files)
- Shut off the phone (choose "Power Off" from the menu or just pull the battery)
- Boot into the recovery (Hold Volume-Up+Power+Home, once the blue text appears release the buttons)
- Choose the "Install update from SD card"
- Select the file that is closest to your version with the volume rocker and confirm with the power button
- Let the update finish until you see the AT&T setup screen
- Pull the battery
