Does anyone know what is the official factory unlocked firmware for the UK model? and would flashing that firmware enable you to get ota's faster than the network locked model? (EE UK)

Hi folks,
I have an American T-mobile factory unlocked Galaxy note edge (SM-N915T) that I use in the UK on Three's network.
I would like to flash an official unlocked international ROM, preferably with a Marshmallow, so I get faster updates (Tmobile is very slow at this) plus no additional Tmobile's widgets and apps.
Any suggestions? I tried flashing a BTU region N915FYXXU1DPC3 via odin but got an error, I imagine it is not compatible with my phone?
I have a factory unlocked sm-g920t.
Unbranded from amazon.
I flashed tmobiles firmware (G920TUVU5FQE1_G920TTMB5FQE1_G920TUVU5FQE1_HOME.tar.md5 this one) from 6.1.1 to 7.0
I lost my unlock and can not unlock with tmo's native unlock application.
If someone could direct me to the correct 7.0 firmware for an unlocked g920t to flash i'd be very greatful or help me figure out what i need to do to regain my unlock carrier status.
Any help at all would really be appreciated.
:edit:
From what i've found i may have a Cellular South model of g920t, if anyone knows how i can check my phone to find out, i'd appreciate it.
Cellular South firmware worked.

I have a smg930v convertet into smg930f due sim support how can i update it to nougat to support all sims
930V and 930F are completely different chipsets, you can't just convert from one to another. What model does it say it is in download mode?
If it's a 930V then you can try flashing the 930U Nougat firmware from sammobile or updato, as it's the unlocked firmware. But if the phone is carrier locked to a SIM, you will need to get it carrier unlocked which can't be done with a firmware flash.
If it's a 930F you can flash the default UK firmware it ships with if you buy it carrier unlocked, also from sammobile or updato
Is it safe to flash the sm-g970f international variant to sm-g970n korean variant?
Its factory unlocked and i just want to get rid or the carrier branding specially the boot animation and possibly change the warnings to english also
Both units are exynos but the sm-g970n is single sim
Get the KOO firmware which is unbranded (SKC/KTC/LUC are carrier branded). You might kill the phone if you try to flash the international one.
Flashing to KOO won't solve the warning Korean language issue also i know for a fact it possible to flash the sm-g970f on sm-g970n because i received my phone that way but there's an issues no updates for example.
I have no idea how the seller did it probably not by odin.
Has anyone confirmed yet whether doing this with Odin or Heimdall is possible? And if it is, will the frequency bands used by the F variant be utilised? I noticed some cheap N variant phones for sale on ebay, but the bands are different to the F variants which were sold locally.
Hello! i flashed with full wipe the SM-S908U DSH unknown firmware over my ATT branded S22 Ultra, thinking that it was the unbranded version. I still have all the ATT branding everywhere and also the ATT software update option in settings.
My question is: will i still be able to get OTA updates with this firmware?
Unbranded firmware is U1 firmware. DSH is Dish network/Boost Mobile

The weird thing is that even though I flash dtbe full firmware, when I booted up, I still had the ATT customizations, but in settings it shows the firmware is updated to the DSH that I flashed? Very weird.
The reason is that DSH firmware is still U firmware with a CSC that adapts the firmware to the SIM installed, therefore it reverted back to AT&T. As previously stated, you need U1 firmware, unlocked defaults to XAA in the US.
So what will happen if I dirty flash with the Home CSC the new DSH U over my SM-S908U1 that has been already flashed from U1 to carrier U Xfinity Mobile hard sim and a T-Mobile eSim ?
Will I still keep my same Xfinity Mobile T-Mobile carrier data ?
