Have a look at these instructions

Not at all. If it actually is unbranded rather than EE I'd regard that as a plus. All of my family's phones are unbranded, and it just means we don't have to wait for a carrier to get updates.What does this mean in terms of getting updated firmware installed....am I knackered?
The first flash with CSC Home was completed with a Pass and still rebooted back into 7.0?OK, this is not going well!!!! Downloaded the XEU firmware.
First of all, I selected the HOME_CSC file and this ran through in a matter of seconds, no errors and restarted phone. Unfortunately, it still showed v7.0!
Next I tried the other CSC file and this did the same as before with Odin stuck for 30 minutes. I've attached a screenshot.
Heeeeeeeeeeelp!
Yo! Now we are cooking on gas!!!!!!The first flash with CSC Home was completed with a Pass and still rebooted back into 7.0?
Don't know what to make of that.
Didn't see anything odd in Odin screenshot either.
Guess you could try the firmware for EE or unbranded BTU.
Only other thing I can think of is trying Smart Switch or taking it to a local shop and see if they can flash it
