i did flashy flashy stuff and swapped it to a546u1 from a546u (us carrier unlocked from locked)
should i now have oem unlocking and if i shouldn't on this model, what other model can i flash my phone to gain access to oem unlocking?

U.S. models have no access to OEM unlocking even if it's carrier free

If you have a carrier locked US model there is nothing you can flash in ODIN to unlock the bootloader, as odin packages dont touch the firmware. Best you can do is hope an exploit gets found or return the phone.

Might I ask how you managed to flash a different firmware version? What method did you use to flash the A546U1 firmware?

I ask because from what I understand, the A546U version does not have the option to unlock the bootloader and in order to flash anything at all (including another stock firmware), you must first unlock the bootloader.
