I'm gone all week every week driving and have so much to do when I get in I don't have much time to follow all of the advancements. I am rooted with OD5 bootloader. Running MOAR 6.62 / 5.0 with OG5 firmware. I like the customization abilities of MOAR but it's not essential. Native tethering for the laptop on the road is critical (unlimited data). I am on the original safestrap (3.75)? I use the NI2 flasher and I'm comfortable with odin. I already use SU pro version. Is there a down and dirty way I can go up to 6.0 without having to learn new methods/apps to do so? Or what's the easiest way with my setup to achieve this?

I apologize for asking a question that has doubtless been asked a number of times. I just am so pressed for free time.

Thanx in Advance and don't scorch me too harshly with flaming !!

Is your bootloader unlocked ?

I

Check by booting into download mode and looking for developer mode if you see it flash twrp in Odin

If not go to getex kk-mm bootloader unlock thread on XDA under s5 Verizon section then

If it is Then boot into recovery and flash mm rom

I flash in this order

Do a Backup in twrp to external SD card or USB otg drive

Do a full wipe except USB storage and external SD card

Then flash mm kernel

Then flash mm modem

Then flash ROM

Then reboot

If it bootloops then flash cm13 as a base then flash your ROM again in twrp

If it doesnt bootloop you are good

If you have problems try a different ROM

It doesn't have to be what it does have to be to get bootloader unlock is a Samsung 15 emmc you can check this by downloading the emmc brick Bug app on Google Play

if it is a 15 Samsung emmc then you can bootloader unlock from getex kk-mm bootloader unlock thread on xda

once you get bootloader unlocked you can install TWRP using odin

from there you can install a custom marshmallow ROM in twrp

This is the fastest and easiest way
