I have reverted back to stock S140 (non-rooted), then updated via S145, S149 to S152 and finally installed Marshmallow update.
Everything working well, no problem at all, all updates installed on first time.
I will wipe as well, as from my point of view, change from 5 to 6 is a big change and wipe is recommended..

You just went to 140 directly via QPST or you need to wipe, etc.,?

No . I was in Rooted Lollipop . I was getting signature error while trying OTA update . So I used the manual update method and it worked . Now the MM is working fine (No Root).

Upgrade your ROM to P1a42_S152_160126_ROW and then use the Manual update method.

Upgrade your ROM to P1a42_S152_160126_ROW and then use the Manual update method.
That's great in a way because no need to follow long process of loading unrooted room and then downloading 4 updates to get android marshmallow.

But sad also. I wish root stayed [emoji6] after update because root is equally important.

I couldn't find a way to disable system apps or removing them like I didn't after root.
