Samsung s5 have 5.0 want update, keep root and unlocked phone need simple instruction

[newbie000001]

Hello, I have a rooted, unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 -SM-G900V. I want to update to Marshmallow 6.0 or higher and keep the root and unlock or easily add those after I update to 6.0. I have downloaded the Samsung usb driver onto my laptop and Odin3_v3.09 (however, I have read different recommendations and am confused which version I should use). I tried to find firmware to download from sammobile.com/firmwares but when I type in my phone it doesn't recognize it. 1. What is a simple way to update to 6.0 and keep a root and unlock? 2. Which version of Odin3 should I use? 3. What it is the list of things I need to download to do it? Thank you

Update using FlashFire. This will no update your bootloader. Later in odin3 update the correct modem and nonhlos for they specific MM firmware (QD1,QF2,QH2)

I just finished updating from 5.0 to 6.0.1 pre-rooted using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve.../testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529

Scroll down and follow jrkruse's great very clear instructions. However, before you start make sure Reactivation lock under Settings --> Security is turned off. You have to sign into a Samsung account for this to work. If you forget that step you'll get stuck at the 13th step and have to reimage with stock again. to disable it.

Thank you for the information, I appreciate it!

1) As suggested, I made sure the reactivation lock was not selected,

2) I downloaded jrkruse's eMMC_CID_Checker_.apk to Check my CID

3) then downloaded the file EMMC_15_Root_Bootloader_Unlock S5_QB2_PB1.zip

4) As suggested I moved the the root s5 folder (but I didn't see those exact file names in the folder so I am attempted to download them individually

((EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_A IO.zip, The link I click on for this one doesn't seem to work and the EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip)) when I try and download that it says I don't have any storage space . The total space I have is 16gb it says 300 mb available. I also have an sd card that is 122gb available. I moved several apps to that the sd card, cleared caches and pictures and videos... with no luck. Do you have any suggestions?

for my not_unlockable bootloader, the EMMC_11_ Root S5_QB2_PB1.zip contained a folder, an MD5 file, and 2 zip files. I checked for your unlockable bootloader, and found much the same; hope this helps. I copied those to an SD card, and continued from there.
