Note5 radio frequency HW hack

Hello,

I'm new to the forum, and having a real hard time identifying what is, and isn't possible regarding hardware manipulation. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note5 SM-N9208, which originated in Taiwan. I am on T-Mobile in the U.S., and I would like to make this device fully compatible with T-MOBILE's network. I am new to rooting, and flashing, so I don't have a strong enough understanding of the capabilities of such things. I was led to believe that it was possible to root, unlock the bootloader, change the CID, and flash the radio to the correct baseband/firmware (sorry if this sounds ridiculous). I have heard, however, that the different models will not accept firmware from different models. I don't understand what prohibits this activity, because the internals seem to all be the same. If anyone can explain this to me, or provide me with a way to accomplish this, if possible, I would be incredibly grateful.
