[GUIDE] SM-G9600/ SM-G9650 Working on Verizon!

[klabit87]

This guide will setup your Qualcomm Galaxy S9/S9+ for use on Verizon Wireless
I have not had any tester for the SM-G9600 but myself and several others have tested and confirmed this to be working on SM-G9650

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS GUIDE!!!
I am not responsible for any bricks, soft or hard, and not responsible for lost or corrupt imei/efs

• Boot into TWRP and select backup.
• Tap "Select Storage"
• I recommend you backup everything to an extSDCard.
• Select Boot, System, Data (if you want), and Carrier Configs
• You can backup each one seperately or altogether.
• Next select Backup again and select EFS only.
• This backup is extremely important!!!!!
• keep it stored somewhere online or somewhere safe.
• If EFS gets broken and you do not have a backup you will not have a functioning phone. This partition is where your imei is stored.
• Now, flash this file S9+_ODM_combo_ATTVZWUSCTMO.zip
• Reboot to system and go through Setup Wizard if you have not done so already.
• Now boot to TWRP again and flash this file Verizon_EFS_IMEI.zip
• Do not flash both at the same time, you will be stuck in a ForceClose loop at Setup Wizard if you have not completed it already.
• Now reboot and enjoy Verizon functionality with 2g, 3g, 4g, volte, and wifi-calling!!

If there are any issues let me know and myself and others will do our best to help resolve any issue.

Edit: Updating with a zip that is compatible with pie.

Wifi calling does not work just yet but we will get it fixed and upload it as soon as we can.

This also works on T-Mobile using this T-Mobile_EFS_IMEI.zip instead of the Verizon_EFS_IMEI.zip thanks to @klabit87

I dont see the verizon-imei.zip in OP's post. I'd like to give it a try, or if someone could repost it please. Thank you.

Hi! i have an G9600 variant, and i want to flash Pie but there is not an oficial rom for that version. Is there any variant i can install to? like the G965U which has the Snapdragon processor too

thanks

I was told March by Samsung Care about a half hour ago, sorry this was for 960U1

You were told wrong.

Just saying what the Samsung Expert stated!

Would you be able to help get verizon working on the g9750, hong kong s10/s10+?

I have a g955U, a g9750, a verizon sim and a sprint sim. If I can help with anything let me know.

Right now, AFAIK, I only have 4g working, mms only works with 3rd party apps, no carrier aggregation, no 2g or 3g, pretty sure VOLTE works, no wifi calling.

I only developed the install instructions and tested methods. Krog18 and stang5litre did the work of getting the zips compiled together. But I would suggest opening the zips in this thread and replacing the files in there with s10 files. Of course you'll at least need root.

Ok cool, I can give it a shot...

Right now it's only speculation that John wu's magisk/root method works on g9750, I suppose I can try it, or just have to wait for confirmed root on my device.

I'm about to purchase an SM-G9650/DS

is there anything I need to look for to get it to work on vzw, as per this guide?

 

[XXCrimsonXX]

Have any of you guys successfully tried to see if you can get CDMA on the SM-G9750 Galaxy S10 Plus yet?

 

[gurnsey101]

I tried this on pie with the pie mod and all I can connect to is CDMA 3g no 4g? Any ideas?

SM-G9600

Hi, I have a G9600 that I would like to install a verizon firmware on to but I am new to the scene. I would be happy to test out the firmware but I feel like I am missing a few steps in the process...

No need for Verizon firmware. Just use whatever firmware comes with your device and follow the instructions. Then let me know if you have any issues.

I'm just running into this after years of hoping for a bootloader unlockable S9 that I can use on Verizon. So much appreciated to Krog18, stang5litre and klabit87 for all your time and help! Quick question, I'm going to try and buy one today, but I see that on Amazon there are two G9650's. One is dual sim and the other is single sim. But they both say that their G9650's. Will this work on either? Because I will definitely go for the dual sim if that's the case. Thank you again!
