HELP Galaxy S6 duos SM-G920FD

Can someone help me find any download source of this firmware,
Galaxy s6 DUOS, SM-G920FD
As I wanted to Upgrade my galaxy s6 duos to andorid 5.1.1
But unfortunately, from SamMobile firmware website, they do not have that kind of firmware on my phone.
Can you please, if any, share your firmware . Any help will be appreciated.
Details:
AP: G920FXXU1AODE
CP: G920FXXU1AODE
CSC: G920FOJV1AODE
Model: SM-G920FD
I think it's the same as g920f
I have g920fd and in settings it reads phone model as g920f and baseband as G920FXXU2BOFJ whitch is the same for g920f
i dont know if it has any additional software to handle dual sim or not
edit: in other thread some users confirms that g920f can be installed

Thanks a lot. One more question. I am french but based in the usa. Out of all the 920f firmwares which one would be the most generic. I see a bunch that have "unkown" listed as the country. Which firmware would be the most generic?

Beta program has been closed... you can flash Ap and CP but not the bootloader if the current one os newer than the one you trying to flash... you will get sboot fail in odin

Secure Check Fail (bootloader)

Hey guys
I'm trying to install CYV version of 7.0 Nougat update but as soon as I hit START in Odin, it fails and my phone shows this error: SECURE CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER).
I'd like to know how can I fix it and continue with the installation.
Also, do any of these factors influence on this error?
1. My phone is G920I and the firmware is for G920F.
2. My region is not CYV.
3. I have TWRP 3.1.0 installed.
Thanks for your help and attention.
G920f use a different bootloader than G920i, you can use a custom rom based in a G920f firmware like fastrom but you need a G920i bootloader and módem installed, you cant flash a G920f firmware in a G920i. Flash a G920i mm firmware and start again

I'm having the exact same issue with the exact same error message on my S6 G-920P Sprint phone when trying to flash to T-Mobile. There has to be a work around because flashing from Sprint to T-Mobile works flawlessly on my Sprint branded S7.

Galaxy S7 SM-G930A Android V6 G930AUCS4API2

Hi! I have flashed and engineer boot file to my S7 and it is stuck in a boot loop. I am having trouble finding the stock firmware to fix the problem. What I have found is not fixing the loop. Does anyone have the stock firmware I can use/buy to fix the problem? Can I use a different version as long as it is an AT&T variant? I cannot risk wiping the phone when i do this procedure.
Thanks!
You can't flash stock firmware without wiping.
Updato.com and sammobile.com have all the stock firmware for all model devices.
You should be able to flash any G930A or G930U firmware, except you won't be able to downgrade (i.e. you can't go from nougat to MM).

Thanks for the reply Beanvee! I'll check Updato.com. I wasn't familiar with this one. Sammobile and Samsung-firmware didn't have this firmware version. Anybody else out there have the firmware for this model?
Thanks

I flashed 7.0 on my S7. Also; it was a 930A I flashed to a 930F. Works excellently. I have Xposed as well. So the firmware can be found here in XDA.
