I can't seem to flash CM12.1 151007 Snapshot, despite having received the OTA 4.4.2

Originally, I was on stock 4.4.2 AU, then did some reading, so I flashed Stock RTFR (Retail France/Central Europe), and allowed it to receive the KK OTA. I assume this would give me the KKBL, but no luck.

Every time I go into TWRP to flash 12.1, I get the message "this package is for devices with 4.4 bootloader"

As you can imagine, I'm rather confused.... my partner had been running this phone on stock for 2 years so I haven't kept up with forum posts. Have I missed something?

I read something about Orphee's mod that I can flash, but those Mega links were posted 2 years ago and are down. Google searched this to death.

EDIT: Because I had problems with RSDlite on Windows 10, I flashed stock firmware manually using mfastboot. I flashed partition and tz manually, which I read might be a problem (but I don't understand why). Can someone clarify?
