Soft or Hard carrier unlock for Verizon S8+?

Hi,
I need to carrier unlock a Verizon Samsung S8+.
I was told by one of these unlock code service sites that the Verizon S8+ cant be "code" unlocked. Can it be jailbreak unlocked?
is that possible?
Thanks in advance

its already unlocked, verizon is the only carrier that unlocked their s8+ at point of sale, just flash the 955u1 firmware and youll be good.

Hi sorry to bother again, the Prince Cosmi Odin link is dead - if I omit the flashing step, is the phone still unlocked?
I'm looking to sell it on eBay as unlocked. As long as the buyer has no problems, that's all im concerned about.
Many many thanks
edit: sorry, I misunderstood, Im downloading the official firmware to flash. Thanks

yes offcourse you can undo
just download stock fw via sammobile.com/firmware
use odin to downgrade
make sure you are not having sprint/att/verizon version of edge
mean you must have unlocked international version of s7 edge and knox must be intact

Its European and Asian version I think, SM-G935FD. Also its in warranty, If I downgrade it using this method, Will it void its warranty?

This is specifically for ATT. If you're looking for the latest sprint firmware for your device, it would be G965USQU1ARBG containing SPR USERDATA.

Ok thanks. Wasn't sure if I could throw the SPR USER DATA in with this firmware

Can I flash this on my unlocked SM-G965U1? I use AT&T as my provider. Also, if I needed can I go back to stock? Thanks.

I have an ATT S9 plus (already unlocked with codes from Ebay). So this flash will make my ATT ver become the Unlocked ver? I need the hotspot feature of the unlock ver. I don't need Wifi calling or VOLTE from ATT ver because I have never use those.

No it won't... I've flashed the G965U AT&T firmware on to 5UI unlocked with AT&T user data and both the home csc and regular csc files, and none of the carrier specific software works. Furthermore, you will limited to only 4G speeds during phone calls on the 5UI, at least with a AT&T sim card. This is my biggest pet peeve with this phone.

I don't know what I may have done differently, but did exactly what you did and I have everything working. Flashed AT&T rb7/rbg and user data over stock u1 firmware after factory reset. Volte/wifi calling, lte during phone calls and video calling work for me. I'm att/att/xaa, knox wasn't tripped.
The only thing I have as a complaint is it doesn't fetch ota's. So I have been reseting and Odin-ing updates as they roll out.
Thanks op for the files

@bboii86
Hope you do not mind me asking but I am new to Galaxy devices. Nexus/Pixel was always my choice but after having a bug filled Pixel XL 2 I decided to give the S9+ a shot. Not familiar with how the firmware for them work so I thought to ask you since you look to be very helpful in this thread.
I have T-Mobile S9+ which was updated to latest March 1 security update. I would like to flash it to the unlocked firmware. Is this https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=182E00202C6211E89F15FA163EE8F90B the same unlock firmware you posted?
Would I be able to use WiFi Calling, HD Calling and all other features on T-Mobile with the unlocked firmware?
Thanks for the help!

I did this trying to go from a Verizon to Unlocked. Also, tried going to T-Mobile. I left off User Data on the unlocked variant, but nothing changed even though it showed successful. Any help?!
I am having to drive to a friend's to do this on a Windows computer because I can't figure it out on my Mac. $10 if anyone can simplify how to do it on a Mac. I'm use to using ADB, not Odin.

Why didn't you flash Userdata? Thats what contains the carrier bloat. Flash the U1 userdata and see if that works.

Tried that too

Those of us on the Verizon network with the old unlimited data plan can't tether without paying an extra $30 a month. If we can successfully load the unlocked firmware on the Verizon variant we can bypass the tether subscription.....

It was already unlocked but the dude that did it was kinda sloppy. It seemed to have quite a lot of compatibility issues. Original carrier info was listed under the settings. All seems great now.

Just got my S9+ from Samsung (won in a contest via their Twitter) anyhow...they asked which device I wanted, I said Unlocked model, they sent a Tmobile variant, and it is unlocked as I am using it another carrier sim... I carrier switched 2 different S8+ last year and I don't find myself on here much anymore, other than to answer emails and help people fix their stuff.... Just wondering if I can still just flash the XAA or the XAR version firmware files via patched Odin and all will be well.
The tmobile variant isn't really bloated perse, but it does have a couple tmobile apps that I would prefer to get rid of and I'd prefer to have it on U1 firmware, are there any issues to do it currently?
One other question... What's the difference between the XAA and XAR firmware? I've used the XAA in the past for the s8+ g55u1 but this phone has both firmware files and I can't figure out where there is both, as to my knowledge both are unlocked firmware files.
Thanks

Have you updated your phone yet? The Unlocked is still stuck on February Patch and hasn't been updated whereas T-Mobile already pushed the June update out IIRC and you won't be able to flash it.
Honestly, keep the T-Mo variant as even the Unlocked Model comes with bloat like Facebook.

It's not using a tmobile sim so that's probably why it hasn't updated..... so it's still on the feb 25 kernel, build is still the 1ARBG firmware.

Stupid question. So I did the firmware flash, originally had the 965u. So now when we are finally able to root(if ever) do I have to look for roms(or any other hacks) for the 965u or the 965u1 since that's what I flashed? Also I received the June update the other day. Hopefully that doesn't screw anything up for me.

S7 SM-G930VL Firmware ?

I recently acquired a Samsung s7 trac phone ( SM-G930VL ) base band
is on G930VLUDU4CQH2 .
I've looked high and low for firmware, with no luck.
Instead I found posts of users flashing the SM-G930V (Verizon ) and some even stated SM-G930U ( Unlocked ) .
So my question is, If I absolutely cannot find tracphone firmware.
Should I use Verizon's or the " Unlocked " SM-G930U files ?
On sammobile I found
firmware for the Galaxy S7 SM-G930U with product code TFN from Tracfone
Click to expand...

Thanks for any input

i would flash the 930U version as you wont have verizon bloat on it

Does it use the Exynos processor or Qualcomm? I've seen sites claiming both.

I have the SM-G930VL firmware. All 4 files zipped.
