That's all true, but if nobody is going to specify the customization when they upload FTF files, this forum would soon become a total mess and nobody would be able to find the ROMs they want anymore...Many people used it until now and it seems to be working fine, I travel a lot and I hadn't have any problem at all, I also tried all the networks in Germany yesterday and they all worked like a charm in calls and data.

Everybody here mentions "Generic UK", "Generic DE", "Generic NL", etc. when they upload stock ROMs. All these ROMs are GLOBAL_LTE, but there are differences between them (e.g. pre-installed apps, NFC icon, presence of "Sony Account Manager", etc.). When you created your FTF in Flashtool, you entered "GLOBAL_unbranded_LTE" into the "Branding" field, which is false, because it actually is "Generic GR" (as you can see on the customization list).
Because you did not specify any country, your ROM is now falsely listed as "Global Stock .253" (something which doesn't even exist) in this guide, while it actually is "Greek Stock .253". You are confusing a lot of users, so please just name it "Generic GR (Greece)" or anything like that
