Get SIM card and upgrade to 5.11 before flashing? 925T - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy S6 Edge 925T Android version 5.02 and my provider is T-mobile.
Before installing custom ROM should I get a SIM card from T-mobile (mine is too big does not fit) and then upgrade my phone to Stock Android 5.11 via settings page.
OR
Skip going to t-Mobile and just install TWRP bootloader & modem to my stock 5.02. then flash my ROM (XXU2BOFJ V.2.0 Final Lollipop 5.1.1) Then bring my phone to t-Mobile and get a new SIM card.
Thank you

Troubleshoot using post #2 for CM however you can see if flashing the VRBMF1 firmware will resolve your issues.
I tried diffrent modems and no luck ... I will try Clean Rom . The main reason for CM for me was Russian language

ATT H950 - SIM Required for 5.1.1 OTA (after using unroot tool)?

Hey guys, I unrooted/restored my 5.0.1 stock with the unroot/restore tool - to get the 5.1.1 OTA for my ATT H950, do I need to use a SIM card or can I just use LG PC Suite without a SIM in the phone? My SIM is currently in another phone, so I am wondering if I need to switch it out to get 5.1.1.
I believe you need the att sim in to do OTA.

Will flashing my unlocked sm-g930t lock it?

I just purchased a Galaxy S7 SM-G930T online but I live in Canada and use the Koodo Network. I can put my Koodo sim in and it all works fine but I want to update it from 6.0.1 to Android 8, and it wont let me do it OTA if I dont have a T-Mobile sim. Can I download the stock T-Mobile Android 8 Firmware and flash it using Odin and still be able to use my Koodo sim or does flashing the stock firmware lock the phone?
Thanks
