I saw this on T-Mobile's site a couple of days ago, but I'm on the fence about updating. I updated my Note 4 (910T) when MM came out and I'm used to it, but they removed the ability to alter the quick settings toggles (Samsung disabled system ui tuner) so you can no longer add hidden features like mobile data or VPN. While I can grudgingly live without it on the Note 4, I find it too handy to do without on the 817T. Unless someone finds a way around this, I'm staying put for the time being.

I flashed twrp 3.0.0.2 for t810 it works for marshmallow and then I flashed super su 2.74.

It was not retained after update. I flashed it via Odin again
I had issues with xposed and the machine becoming unresponsive. Had to reinstall and root. Works fine without xposed.

Success!

Since I had installed TWRP and rooted, I could not update to MM. I re-flashed back to stock 5.1.1 with Odin and then was able to update to MM.

After the update I flashed the T815 TWRP with Odin (make sure you don't auto-reboot and boot into TWRP right after flashing to make it stick). Then I flashed the SuperSu 2.76 ZIP from TWRP.

So I now have a stock rooted 6.0.1 ROM. Everything seems to work fine for me. I can use LTE and even enable the mobile hotspot.
