Verizon phones will not accept any custom ROM. This has been done this way since the S4/Note 3. The way Verizon locks their bootloader effectively prevents other ROM’s from being installed - even the reference Samsung ROM from the Unlocked by Samsung series. AT&T is also guilty of doing this so Verizon isn’t alone. IT HAS to be the carrier specific ROM or it prevents it from BOOTING.

The feature Verizon uses is known as Samsung KNOX. They use boot signature enforcement, which verifies the ROM signature against the “correct” signature. The phone will not boot without the Verizon ROM installed since the signature varies per device (Unlocked, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint). This “feature” prevents you from removing the Verizon ROM or modifying it to remove the bloatware. Root can be used to "force” it off, but you cannot change the ROM to remove it permanently.

How I’d sell it is I’d sell it as unlocked for any carrier, but explicitly mention it’s a Verizon phone. This is sufficient because while it’s SIM unlocked (FCC open network license requirement), it is still a Verizon phone. It will also deter buyers who want the ability to tinker with the ROM, so you will not need to worry about the KNOX 0x1 flag being tripped and hurting the resale. You are better off losing a sale from someone who opposes Verizon’s lockdown practices to avoid getting a tripped phone back.

Verizon is a complete no go for custom ROM use;it’s been that way since the S4/Note 3. The way Verizon locks their bootloader down effectively prevents other ROM’s from being installed - even the reference Samsung ROM they use on the Unlocked by Samsung series. AT&T is also guilty of doing this around the same time.

This is because of Samsung KNOX. KNOX has a feature called boot signature enforcement that verifies the ROM signature on the phone matches the permitted ROM. If you install a different ROM, the signature will be different and the phone will not boot until the Verizon ROM is reloaded. Verizon uses this feature.

You will lose the sale but you will also know the buyer doesn’t mind or needs to a Verizon phone and doesn’t have any discretion to work with.
