I recently saw an item g9650 in the description it said:
"This is a south america version samsung s9+ 64Gb SINGLE SIM with locked bootloader. Note here again this is single sim version, and the bootloader is NOT UNLOCKABLE. This will work only on ATT and TMOBILE"
Does this mean that only DS models are bootloader unlocked?

yes. the only S9s that have locked bootloaders are the USA variants. I do believe tho that the 9650s are GSM only tho despite having the snapdragon processor

Variation of Moto Z2 Force for US Telco or countries
(Verizon) XT1789-01
(US Cellular) XT1789-02
(Sprint) XT1789-03
(AT&T/T-Mobile) XT1789-04
(Outside US) XT1789-05

Maybe this thread can be helpful for some...
Which are the models which the bootloader can be unlocked and use globally (outside of US)?
Please add EU unbranded XT1789-06
(I think this is the "real" Outside US, while XT1789-05 should be Chinese version, as it was on Griffin...)

Generally by Default Verizon Devices are Global, and in this case fot the XT-1789-01 You can place another carriers sim in the device and it will just work (as long as the bands are supported)
Historically, US Cellular phones have been able to run on Verizon LTE bands and have had their bootloader be unlock able. Can anyone confirm?

Verizon and AT&T models are blocked on Motorola/Lenovo's unlock site by the unique identifier. Some parts of it that get decoded from the key your phone spits out has info for Moto to know which exact device is requesting the unlock code.

If you owned an exclusivity device, aka the Droid series, of course you couldn't unlock the bootloader from Motorola site itself. you had to use s-off. I do not know if they updated their builld to support 2017 phones

I've had my eye on this listing for a couple weeks, but the seller won't answer my question as to why it is listed as AT&T only. Is it somehow SIM locked?
Are there other sources for bootloader unlocked S9 in the USA?
To my understanding the Chinese version of Snapdragon 845 is only one that can be bootloader unlocked. How do you tell if the version is Chinese? In the about screen it only says Snapdragon 845...
Where did you "understand" that from? And how those people knew where their chips was manufactured?
Also, even if that would be true (I don't buy it), it would mean that the specific CPU has a hidden bug that can be exploited by the Chinese government too... Is that what you want from your S9?

Code:
As long as they are Exynos, or the Chinese snapdragon, the US Model Snapdragons are bootloader locked
Check the model number. The SM-G9600 is the unlocked Snapdragon variant.

That doesn't tell that the processor Snapdragon is Chinese or US, but that the phone models are US (and have the bootloader locked) or Chinese. So the title of this thread is wrong.
IMO there is no need to specify "US Snapdragon" since the US models have only Snapdragon chips. There is no "US Exynos".
model G9650 and G9600 are chinese/HK variant S9+/9 ,they are all snapdragon SOC and basically the same and can flash firmware to each other without breaking the knox. as I know G9650&9600 can be unlocked bootloader but few people would do it cuz losing samsung pay. you can go to odin flash mode to see if your s9/+ is whatever variant.
I live in Canada and have a N975W and want to flash the star wars U1 firmware, but before I do I wanna know what happens when you put a Canadian Carrier sim in?!? Will the U1 CSC have Canadian Carrier info preset? Will I have to manually modify to get things like MMS to work? Or does the U1 firmware have Canadian stuff preloaded that gets triggered with the Sim card?
Thanks
Nobody?
Exynos

Now from the first just remember to do that whith already inserted sim into your phone so it can instantly fetch the settings of your sim carrier .

The American CSC does not contain information for Canadian carriers. After you flash the American U1 firmware, flash the Canadian CSC. There is only one CSC for Canada, and it contains information for all the Canadian carriers (Bell, Rogers, Telus, etc.). After flashing the Canadian CSC, when you insert a SIM from a Canadian carrier it applies the settings for your carrier's VoLTE, wi-fi calling, APN, etc.
If you flash Canadian CSC after flashing full U1 firmware will it not effect the U1 firmware? The CSC file is so large I'm wondering how it will effect the U1 firmware. Anyone do this yet? Do I need to use modified Odin?
Have you done this? Does flashing a different CSC effect the firmware?
---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------
I would appreciate any input from someone who has tried this please. I really want to flash the star wars Android 10 for U1 on my 975W but am afraid that CSC will be different and not sure If flashing CSC from a different firmware will work as the file is so big.
if it doesnt work, you just flash back to stock firmware and csc.
just make sure its for the same processor.
OK, so, I flashed first Star Wars Android 9 version of U1 firmware to test and it works perfectly. Booted up with Canadian carrier sim and it loaded all APN settings. Everything works perfectly.
Flashed Android 10 version of Star Wars U1 firmware and its all good.
So you can load U1 firmware on N975W unlocked version. Same hardware and works in both countries. Do not even need Canadian CSC.
Do not load the HOME CSC file. It will wipe everything but its worth it. Firmware is solid and beautiful.
By flashing unlocked firmware, did you get rid of any carrier bloatware?
Can I ask you guys an info? I own N975u1, on first boot It haven't Greek language and I choose it later at setting. Does N975w on first boot has Greek language? So I install N975w firmware to solve my problem?(some settings remains in English).
975W is Canadian model and i have it on my note 10+ with carrier esk or eastlink if you wish to know what carrier esk stands for. If you are trying to get your phone to show Greek language I do not believe the 975w firmware would be a good choice. It lets you select which country you are from when you start up a freshly formatted phone but I have never selected any language other than Canada which is English. Just thought I would let you know that my model is also a Snapdragon chipset and I don't know if you can Flash another firmware unless you unlock Bootloader and I do not know if that is possible currently on a Snapdragon chipset Note 10.

The only phones with an unlockable bootloader are the N9750 (chineese variant) and Exynos models.
Can you please be more specific with what you are looking for within regards to firmware. Other then the information/answers posted in the first page of this thread I saw this thread, but depending on what your looking for specifically the post may not be of any help.
Also be aware that if you want to retain full compatibility with Virgin then you shouldn't go messing around with the firmware. Flashing other firmware (especially for US models) can result in things not working the way they would normally.

Only firmware for OEM UNLOCK switch in developer menu is exynos models. I found other sites on the net stating SM-N975W Snapdragon can be bootloader unlocked but i tried them all and none worked. DO NOT flash exynos firmware on Snapdragon model as you may ruin your phone or void warranty. Luckily mine still shows official and knox counter didn't get tripped. Sorry, wish I had better news 4 ya.
