Need help with Verizon Galaxy Note 10+ temporary lock.

That's just the way the network lock works.....you'll need to wait the 60 days...(probably closer to 30 now...but no way to know)
If you can't wait there are paid solutions that you can use... cell unlocking services.
No amount of firmware changing etc will have an effect on the network lock.....sorry.
Also i disagree with the other poster....sounds like you confirmed its not blacklisted....what you're experiencing is the typical network lock behavior.....pay or wait it out.

Btw any before and after pics?
What did you pay for smashed device? How much spent repairing?

So can you point me in the right direction of a good "paid cell unlock service"

No, it's just a standard SM-N975U, not a Verizon branded one. Actually I was able to easily flash it into unlocked N975U1 version. But still that damn Carrier change message pops up and blocks GSM capability.

what makes u think itsnot a verizon model? all the usa carriers are model n975u lol.. and flashing u1 firmware doesnt sim unlock the device either

As I sad earlier, I had a chat with Verizon twice regarding this phone. They checked it by IMEI and told me that it is NOT SIM locked. This is the only useful piece of info I've got from them. Despite of that, they were unable to help me with that Carrier Change issue sending me to original owner / Verizon account holder of this phone. So it's not a carrier variant and not sim locked.

again, all carrier models have same exact model N975U which 100% proves its a carrier model... samsung unlocked variants are N975U1 model..

Yes, I'm confused indeed. Confused by Verizon which says one thing but does other. They clearly said that "we don't lock our phones" but apparently they do it! Bloody bastards!

the reps r normal ppl.. they are not a reliable source of information 90% of the time

Companies that provide the service are a dime a dozen these days....many to choose from....some take longer but are cheaper etc..

I think i used the company Cellphone Unlockr or something like that.....was years ago for some clients.

that was years ago on a old device i assume.. newer devices have better security.. they do exist still tho but not as easy to find a legit one that is cheap.. most i saw when i was looking were over 100$ for my n976v.. i just waited the 60 days lol
