Confusion over firmware downloads - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I am really sorry if this has been covered, but I am as useless understanding forums as I am with phones.
I have just used ODIN to put MARSHMALLOW on my S7. I found the list of firmwares so confusing and picked one from the list of SM-G930f, and chose one that ended in _BTU, as I thought it might be carrier free. I successfully put it on my phone without bricking it but it appears to be German. Everything does look like it works though.
Can someone please explain to me what I need to download for a carrier free, marshmallow, uk version.
I am desperate to avoid nougat as the reason I have had to mess with my phone is because after the OTA update to 7.0, android OS begun using data at a massive rate and I was unable to stop it NO MATTER WHAT.
Thank you for reading, any help appreciated in advance.

The final MM firmware for G930F (BTU United Kingdom) is G930FXXU1BPLB

Well after checking the version in download mode i found that it is g920v but the phone has g920f on the back does this mean that the fw is of verizon or the other way around?
Now i know that my phone started out as a G920v and was rooted and modified to make it look like the international G920F
this sucks, anyways can i flash the g920f roms on this one? if yes can you guys give some guides PLZ reply!

I think it's G920V. Download Phone INFO Samsung, and look for the model in it.
yes it is the g920v i've been scammed im so angry right now! any solutions guys?
I am on the same boat. ..I bought this phone in Australia from eBay and they gave me 920v instead of 920f. I did bit Google and read somewhere that you need to use custom ROM for your model only. Though you can use ROM of different baseband.
My baseband ends in BOK7 and it seems they don't have updates available. I m stuck on 5.1.1 I just don't know if I flash ROM would it relock to Verizon?

Device say im not cerfified in Play Store

hi, i flashed the european rom for S8 plus and now when i go to play store it says my device is not certified so i cant download some apps that need that certificacion, what can i do now?
i can only find this issue in nexus devices with no solution.
Have u tried flashing stock rom for your country? Maybe that will help.

He has asked the same question in 5 different threads (also in the S8-part)!
He flashed wrong "region"-firmware on his device!
His device, CSC PET, is part of the Multi-CSC OWA (where PET is included)
Now he flashed firmware with Multi-CSC OXM, where the default CSC is XEU
That result in different settings for his phone...
I PM'ed him already about this, which firmware he CAN flash on his device, but NO reply...
He's just "spamming" this forum with the same question...
Mine says the same thing and I am stock.

Question S908B Variant - How to make samsung pay work?

Hello Friends, I recently bought a s22 Ultra in the Netherlands to bring with me back to Brazil and I found out, when setting the phone up, still in europe that Samsung Pay would not open, it says it is not compatible with my phone
I am thinking of flashing a firmware from a different region, but I do not know which one will work
Have you guys got any insight in this?

Thanks in advance
Ok, so I went ahead and decided to download multiple firmwares from S908B page on Samm website and after realizing they were all the same file (size was the same to the kilobit), I flashed only one to test, the BLE variant, which I believe is UK unbranded.
It did not work, Samsung pay was still unavailable. The thing that is funny, is that, my phone has a brazilian sim card, in brazil and it still register as EUX in the About Software section.
These multiple CSC firmwares are all registering as EUX in my phone, I dont know why.
Now I should Rephrase my initial question, which changed from is it safe to change firmware to:
How the hell can we get samsung pay on the S908B (Exynos) variant?
