What I have learned so far from the community
You Can't Root/Custom/flash a Verizon tab, which has a locked bootloader, neither you can use odin to flash a stock rom or firmware.
these are carrier locked devices and only the company has their way around it. absolutely no support outside their service centers. I am sorry but they won't give it away. don't flash any other device rom, as the device is a CDMA and the other device is either a GSM or a Wifi only tab. the other big difference is the chipset which is completely different from other tab and will never work.
my advice don't take any risk here.
see, if you can access recovery and factory reset the device.
update:
the people somehow got the SCH-I705 bootloader unlocked (it has the same chipset just the screen size difference 10.1 and 7.0 inches)
Check this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536364
some I915 users also flashed the I705 Rom, which resulted in a touchwiz error, I don't know what else issues they encountered. but it seems i915 could be rooted as well. as reported in that thread by a user. you should ask them as well, see all the options, then proceed with care.

Thanks for the info! But i have corrections about the tab its not SCH-I915 its SGH-T779
I found it after i try to go to download mode.
Im confused now, the sgh t779 is a t mobile but at the back of my tablet theres a logo or sticker of Verizon.

About the sgh-t779 it has a Qualcomm secure boot, does it mean that i still cant flash stock rom at all just like the SCH-I915

there you go, you have got a official stock firmware from samsung.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T779/
you have working download mode, and there is a firmware.
flash and check.
but before you do, check the recovery option, by pressing the Power and Volume Down(left button), see if it works after clearing data or factory reset

Question Change carrier SM-S908U Or Change Firmware

Hello
This is the first time I write here, I bought a phone from someone on the internet a week ago as it is unlocked but it is locked on Verizon network and I am in another country in the Middle East and I spoke with Verizon and Samsung Care in the US they all told me that it is not stolen but requires data to unlock The first buyer, and I don't know her, is there a solution to change the firmware to another country and open it? How do I bypass it as soon as possible? I tried to install a ROM for Europe, which is SM-S908E, but the installation did not work, it says fail sha256 is invalid, and another version was installed through Odin
SM-S908U but nothing changed, is there a solution?

Flash the U1 firmware, hoping the phone was purchased from Verizon more than 60 days ago. You can't install other regions firmware in USA model, only U1 can be installed.

Question Not getting OTA updates on my S22 ultra (SM-S908U)

Hello,
Recently I bought an S22 ultra from unofficial source. I haven't got any updates from then. I think it's carrier locked. And it is not possible for me to use that carrier in my country. The phone's model number is SM-S908U/DS . In the software information page the whole model number is shown as SM-S908UZKATT. I want to update my device. How should I do it? I heard odin can be used to manually update my phone. But I don't know how to do it. Also I don't know where will I get official firmwares. Please help me ASAP.
Thanks in Advance. Cheers.

You might want to consider sideloading the latest firmware update.
But before that, you must
1. Find your Model name & CSC Code using Phone INFO ★SAM★ 3.8.5 or just go to about phone
2. Download your firmware using Frija
3. Flash the latest firmware using SamFw Tool

Hello edwaine, thank you so much for the help. I downloaded all the things you've mentioned.
I went to the Software information page in the About Phone settings and found out this...

After this I thought my CSC will either be GCF or XAA, then I head over to frija and typed my model number SM-S908U and the CSC code which is GCF and then clicked on check update. It showed
then I thought the CSC might be XAA. So I typed XAA and clicked Check Update. It showed
am I doing it the right way? or do I need to search using my whole model number? (which is SM-S908UZKATT.)

Add "1" on the end of your model name. Your CSC is "XAA"

Okay on it now. And are you sure adding 1 at the end of my actual model number will be okay? Because I just went to my about phone settings and found out this
Sorry I am a super noob!

There are 2 Models for the US: The "U" which is carrier locked & the "U1" which is Carrier Unlocked. Your device as per the CSC belongs to the U1 model.

I mean you already tried it with SM-S908U and not SM-S908U1 and did not get any result.

Help! Cannot turn on mobile data while calling and messaging still working!

This is regarding the Snapdragon Note 20 Ultra, USA version.
I got a Note 20 Ultra Verizone edition where I flashed an unlocked U1 firmware. I suppose the required software information can be seen from this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The issue now is, as I have put an Indian Operator (Airtel) SIM in the mobile, calling and messaging facilities are working flawlessly, but I cannot turn on mobile data. The WiFi works fine, but no mobile data. The SIM Information looks like this:
Moreover, whenever I try to open the SIM Manager, these four dots keeps loading and the screen just stays there:
I haven't taken a screenshot, but in the next screen the Data Roaming Option cannot be turned on also, I was just looking and turning on/off here and there.....
This is picture of the drop down menu, I suppose it won't be of any help, still posting:
Please let me know if there is any way to solve it....... Also let me know if any other info is required, as I believe I might have missed posting something.....Thanks!

One more thing, I downloaded the firmware from this link:

Before, I flashed this firmware, my software info was like this:
And, now after flashing the U1 it is like this:
I see the VZW (Verizone, right?) is still showing in the Service Provider Software info..... Have I f it up somewhere during the flashing? Should the VZW still be there after flashing the U1 version?

Yes, it is Verizon and it is not supposed to be there. You should see INS for Indian firmware/ SIM.

The problem is they released the Exynos version in India! I suppose I cannot flash Exynos version on Snapdragon, right? Also, the Indian rom had dual sim while this one is i physical SIM+ E-Sim.

Ok, little update.... I flashed the phone again with a VZW Android 13 firmware, and now the mobile data with my Airtel SIM is working flawlessly, even with 5G!!! But guess, as I'm not with a VZW SIM, the set will not receive any update now!
