[SM-G900F] No updates - WRONG CSC AND FIRMWARE for my country

Hello everyone,
Sorry for my English...... I'm french (yes I know..... )
I have a problem. I need help and expertise.
I have a galasy s5 bought on the internet for the french market.
But I never had an upgrade it remains nailed in 4.4.2.
After information with service, it turns out that in reality it was planned for Baltic market and therefore the updates OTA, Kies Smartswitche, samsung shop does not work. Samsung has sent me on the roses .... they can do that but they need to have my phone for 3 weeks....
Here is the information I have (Phone Info):
SM G900F
Klte / kltexx
Knox 0x0
SM- G900FZKASEB
Origin CSS SEB
Current CSC SEB
Firmware SEB
Available CSC (many including the XEF)
CSc country BALTIC / LV
Bootloader G900FXXU1ANJ1
PDA G900FXXU1ANJ1
CSC G900FOXX1ANJ1
Base Bande G900FXXU1ANJ1
My aim:
Update to last firmware for my country (France no carrier ) with original firmware and OTA available for original security or firmware updates. If possible without lost of my data..... but if necessary, to have stabilty, i can do a reset....
So if someone can give a good complete protocol with steps ......
thanks in advance!!!!!
EDIT:
Well Well!!!
No idea ???
I discover a method on another site
1. Run and configure Odin. Do NOT check “Re-Partition” and “Auto Reboot” check boxes.
2. Load the stock firmware in the PDA button.
3. Set the phone in download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power button). Then connect the phone in your computer.
4. Hit the “Start” button and then wait.
5. Once the flashing successfully completed. Do NOT let it reboot into the normal mode.
6. Reboot into recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power button).
7. See if it’s applying the CSC file then wait until it finishes and reboot.
8. If you do not see the CSC installation, instead choose the “Wipe data/Factory reset”. Then repeat flashing the stock firmware. You may then achieved the CSC code flashing the stock firmware on the second attempt.
10. Confirm the CSC code by using Kies 3 or by downloading Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and see if the CSC code has changed.

ODIN passed (green, phone restarted and worked normaly. Not ROOT but FRP locked.

Hi friends
I have Samsung S5 Neo (SM-G903F) 5.1.1 Lollipop.
1) I would like to flash LineageOS version 16. (by WEB infos it is possible) ... Moreover I would like to root my phone.
2) Last week I instaled TWRP via ODIN and it worked. I succefully made a backup of my phone with it.
3) I choosed at first ROOT for my device (to have a ROOT and with unlocked bootloader). And after it I would like to flash LineageOS 16.
4) So yesterday I made SF-Auto-Root. Not completely with success. ODIN showed a green PASS, phone restarted and worked normaly. But not ROOTED.
5) Today I test to open RECOVERY (VOL+/HOME/POWER), but TWRP not started and shortly showing RED text:
"Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".
What now?

Mostly I read, that only possibility to solve FRP is reflash device with stock rom.
But:
I read somewhere, that in case of FRP lock is NOT POSSIBLE use ODIN for flashing stock rom , because it will be blocked due to FRP, but to use KIES3 or SMART SWITCH.
They were written that KIES3 or SMART SWITCH rewrite status of FRP, what is not possible to do via ODIN.
Must be flash done with USB developed options + OEM unlock (this one for masking of FRP flag) ?
Am I right? I would like to do maximum NOT TO RISK a device brick.
Thanks in advance for Your help - with best regards Peter.

I am back ...
So I'm back. It was enough only downloaded TWRP again via ODIN. The FRP flag is still ON, but when the debugging mode is enabled, the UNLOCK OEM function is masking FRP and RECOVERY and BACKUP / RESTORE etc. is possible.
In the future I will download stock ROM to clear the FRP flag.

Build Combination File

Hey how can i build combination file for frp unlock or adb enable ( and from there to bypass frp) ?
I can flash my phone only with odin / build G935FXXS5ESF6 / on other it fail ..
