Ok, I got everything working. Boots. Recovery installed. It's rooted. It doesn't seem to lag. SD card doesn't get accessed in recovery (but easy fix is apparently to downgrade the recovery to TWRP 2.8.7.0 - I haven't confirmed this though). Marshmallow really screws with external SD card access privileges, so be prepared to mess up apps that depend on data stored on the external, like Amazon Music and Titanium Backup.
Basically after using it for a few hours I feel that this update has fixed the S5, which Lollipop ruined. My S5 can now finally run just as fast as my 2013 Nexus 7 tablet that got Marshmallow ages ago.
Initial Assumptions:
- You've already got a custom recovery installed.
Steps:
- download ROM and extract the MD5:

- download TWRP Recovery 3.0.2.2 (.tar file):
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/
- download Odin 3.10.7

- download Chainfire SuperSU:
https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip
- boot into recovery (vol up + home + power) and wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache
- boot into download mode (vol down + home + power) and open up Odin and connect the phone via USB to the computer
- In the AP box put the ROM MD5 file.
- In Options uncheck Auto-Reboot and Re-Partition. CHECK Phone Bootloader Update.
- Press Start
- After everything is done and you get a green success box in Odin, do a battery pull on your S5 and start it back up again.
- The S5 will now boot into Marshmallow. It was stuck on the T-Mobile loading screen for 10 minutes for me. So just let it sit. And sit. And sit.
- Once booted, drag the SuperSU .zip file into a directory that is on internal storage, NOT the SD card.
- Boot into Download mode again.
- Connect phone to computer.
- Close and restart Odin. Put the twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar file into AP. Uncheck auto-reboot.
- Press start, and do a battery pull after the green success box appears.
- Boot into Recovery - it should be the new TWRP one. Keep your device read-only if it asks you.
- Update using the SuperSU.zip file to root the phone.
- Reboot the phone normally. It should now be rooted.
- Install SD KitKat Fixer by JRummy Apps Inc. to allow apps to write to the external SD card.
- Download Titanium Backup Root and freeze all that goddamn Samsung BLOAT.
That should be about it.
