I am looking into getting the S9+ from Xfinity, but I want to make sure I can flash ROMs. Anybody have any experience? Thanks!

This question has been answered already if I have the model numbers correct (via Google search). Does the model number of the phone contain SM-G965U OR SM-G965U1?
If it does then the answer is no. The SM-G965U and SM-G965U1 can only run official Samsung firmware.

I would have thought you knew (or if you didn't then this should explain why it won't work) that in order to do this we have to be able to unlock the bootloader, and/or flash a custom recovery to the phone, and/or if needs be root the device.
Because the phone is unrootable there is no means in which to unlock the bootloader and/or flash a custom recovery. By extension this means you can not flash a custom rom.
The only thing we can do with this phone is flash the official Samsung SM-G965U1 firmware onto the SM-G965U without issue (and vice versa). The only catch is the bootloader version of the firmware you are flashing onto the phone must be the same as (or higher then) what is currently installed on the phone.

Please try to explain exactly what you want to do??
You can only flash firmware for your device. Example... if you have the G925F then you can only flash firmware for G925F.
ok, impossible setup another firmware?

Well that's not quite true, but I don't know if it really works, since I havent tried it myself. But basically you should be able to unpack the firmware, extract the single partitions and flash them one by one using fastboot. Therefore you need an unlocked bootloader. Then you could also use a korean or whatever ROM. It should in fact be enough, if you flash the system partition, if you just want to change the language. Btw why do you want to change anything? Is something not working? Do you need another language?

Im not entirely sure what the guy wants to do...
He mentions 3 different variants.
An unlocked bootloader ia a must but as he states he has g925f which comes with unlocked bootloader. I have a feeling its just the CSC he wants to change.
http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27039 here says its not possible. Something to do with phone/modem support.

The reason why it is failing is because you are on a high boot loader, you current on V3 while the U1 firmware that you was trying to flash is on V2.. You can only flash firmware that's on the same boot loader.
You would need to download G965U1UEU3ARG7 and flash it in order to be on the U1 firmware...

I don't believe the ARG7 for the U1 hasn't been released yet. I'm still on ARF4, I haven't gotten any updates for ARG7 yet.
But you can get the firmware using the link below when it becomes available. It's the same one I used.

To be honest it takes as long as it takes... Though for the U1 firmware it does appear to be the last one released after the carriers.
I would imagine that before they release a firmware that covers all the carriers they want to make sure it works for the individual carriers... But that's a theory/speculation I have.

First time I have ever heard of a Sprint Lease Lock.. Now I am curious over what that is, so off to google searching for it.
Think I found what your talking about... I am not sure if flashing the U1 firmware will work in this case given it's an S9+ and not an S8. Hopefully it does when the appropriate U1 firmware is released.
Depending on where you got the phones from maybe try doing a return and get a refund?

No biggie... Just for clarification (if it helps in the future) you can only flash files with the same bootloader version as what is currently installed. You can also flash bootloader versions that are higher then what is currently installed on the device.
What you can not do is flash bootloader versions lower then what is currently installed.
Finding the bootloader version is easy once you know how. Using the firmware version indicated:
G965USQU3ARG7
The bootloader version is the number before the last 4 characters of the firmware version... In this your looking for the number before ARG7... Since the number is 3 it means this firmware uses the version 3 bootloader.

Got it all flashed and back up and running... Just took a bit to restore everything and all my settings. Haven't seen anything amiss as of yet, sure I won't find out if there are any quirks until I let things settle for a day or two.
** Update 9/10 - So far so good, working like a charm. Even the wifi issue I had where it kept saying my internet might not be available (even though it was, and turning wifi off and back on would make it work) seems to be gone. Thanks for the link kevindevonwilliams

To carrier switch you would need to flash the U1 firmware, then insert the carrier of your choice [not Sprint] then set up device, after download the latest U firmware which is 3SARI4 and flash it.
Do not flash the USERDATA unless it is for the carrier you switching to

Flash a G965U from Verizon to a G965U1, or 965U T-Mobile?

I ordered an unlocked model, G965U1 from eBay, but the seller sent me a G965U Verizon. At least that's the firmware that it has on it. I'm familiar with Odin and everything, so I'm wondering if I should keep it and just flash it over to what I want. Is this a viable option, I already had to send back a OnePlus 6T back to OnePlus, so I'm getting kind of tired of sending phones back.
Will the phone be just as good as what I ordered if I flash a different firmware on it, radio band-wise and such?The phone says I do not have a Verizon sim in it but I seem to be getting service from my T-Mobile sim.... Is this because all Verizon phones come unlocked? Sorry I'm just so confused with a different models and different bootloaders and different firmwares, so any advice would be appreciated!
Issue resolved, big thanks to user @jcsww!

What firmware does the phone have, from what US carrier? I I think the only thing you can try is flashing different firmwares to see if it will work. Maybe try converting it to a U S. factory unlocked G965U1, then the phone will reboot to configure the settings and features according to your sim card. No guarantee with this kind of thing tho.

You could try switching to the firmware for unlocked model G965U1, latest is 3ARJ6. No guarantee that it will make volte work though, that kind of thing is definitely hit and miss, and your phone is ideally suited for American carriers. But that's what I would try. You might also want to call up your service provider and see if they can do anything.

I flashed my Verizon G965U to G965U1. I used the patched Odin and used the CSC from the U1 firmware...

After I did that I was getting the U1 updates directly to the phone.

Can I Flash AT&T Carrier Software onto an Unlocked S9+?

Hey all,
I've done some rooting in the past, so have knowledge but it's limited comparatively to the community. I bought an Unlocked Snapdragon S9+ from Best Buy and the AT&T FirstNet service for first responders only works for AT&T branded devices. I wanted to try and flash an AT&T image on the phone if possible. Is this possible? Can anyone offer some guidance on how to accomplish this?

Yep, you can flash the AT&t firmware onto your unlocked device. You would have to download the firmware and then flash it with Odin, you can check the general section to learn more about this and we here can help you through it.
The other thing I was wondering is that I assume that FirstNet works on the AT&t firmware. Technically your phone will still not be an AT&t phone according to its IMEI number, but firmware-wise it will be just as an AT&t phone after you flash it.

I understand. So get ODIN and the AT&T firmware and just flash? I've done rooting before so familiar with ODIN for the most part, just wasn't sure if I needed a specific firmware version based on having an Unlocked device or not.
And to your wondering thought, FirstNet does work on the AT&T firmware and they WOULD still recognize my phone as an Unlocked device(by IMEI) as per the FirstNet tech support agent I just spoke with. However, I'm hoping that having the firmware would make the device more compatible with the FirstNet service

You just need the latest AT&T firmware that you can find(BRK2 I believe, unless the latest pie firmware has already been posted somewhere), and you will need the patched version of Odin that will allow you to flash a different firmware than your device came with. It seems like AT&t firmwares can be hard to find for some reason but there was this thread which has not been updated I don't think: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ck-official-attoding965usqu3brj5-s9-t3866823. But it looks like that would at least get you over to AT&t firmware and then you could get OTA updates up to current hopefully. You might want to ask in that thread for further instructions on firmware and how to flash everything properly. You would want to use CSC instead of HOME-CSC, to wipe and fully set up the phone, and there is something which I don't know about called USERDATA, which I think might need to be found and flashed also.

boot animation

Is there any way to change or remove the verizon boot animation I know it usually requires root but as that is not possible on this version is the anything else I can do?

You could try flashing the unlocked version of the firmware, but that only changes the boot animation to a different one. With my sprint phone it went to the stock Samsung one after flashing the firmware for the G965U1
Otherwise no way I know of to customize it. Things like that require root access which we don't have.

Just keep in mind flashing the G965U1 firmware may cause certain sprint features to not work.
The G965U1 is from the non carrier branded phone so it is the most generically compatible firmware. Any carrier specific additions added to the firmware by the carrier wouldn't be present.
Like for example the tmobile firmware has the video calling built into the dialer. With the g965U1 firmware it is not present.

If your using Samfirm app to download the firmware you search for the model SM-G965U1 and then XAA for the region.
Using sammobile you search for the model SM-G965U1 and then at the drop down menu select "(Unknown) XAA" from the available options.

If your using Samfirm app to download the firmware you search for the model SM-G965U1 and then XAA for the region.
Using sammobile you search for the model SM-G965U1 and then at the drop down menu select "(Unknown) XAA" from the available options.

The only thing I can see causing the issue is the bootloader version. You can only flash firmware with the same bootloader version or higher then what is currently installed on your phone.
To locate the bootloader version look at your baseband version. Start at the very right hand side count left 5 characters inwards. The number that is present would be the bootloader version.
Using the example below the bootloader version would be number 5
