Hey there, I'm a newbie to rooting and stuff similar, my question is can you use the download mode to install a custom OS on to a US Snapdragon? I want to try to root my phone mainly to remove bloatware and tinker around a bit.

No you can't (US models are bootloader locked) UNLESS you go the route found in the "Bounty for U.S model" route in one of the threads here. It is a pay for BL unlock method, so just know that. Afaik it is the only way to get your model unlocked to be able to run custom OS/root.
