Unable to update OTA since repair - alternatives?

Hi all,

To cut a long story short, around the time MM was being released I cracked my display and broke the digitiser. Before sending the phone off for repair I got the update notification -.- but sent it away without updating as I couldn't accept it. Phone returned and working but no OTA notification, factory reset a few times, sim out and try again, all the usual tricks. They flashed my phone in the factory (came back wiped) and for some reason this firmware isn't getting the OTA update.

So after persevering with Lollipop (and cracking the display again, and fixing it myself this time) I'm getting Marshmallow one way or another. I just would like to know the best way.

I'd rather keep everything as stock as possible (in terms of bootloaders and rooting) and my current plan was to flash TWRP and try running a MM OTA file. I'm just looking to verify this would work and if so, any pitfalls (future OTAs) or things that could go horribly wrong by doing something idiotic.

I'm on an EU XT1572 so I'm assuming a general EU OTA file will work?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Phil
