I haven't tried so myself, so you can try it. I have tried flashing Tracfone Samsung phones (unique Tracfone only model numbers) before to generic ROMs and ODIN failed, but it didn't brick the phones either. Still, those were cheap Tracfones, I wouldn't risk it on a S25.
Lucky you if your get it.

Through all my personal experience with customer service at Spectrum, and reading all the stuff in this thread about people's experience with their customer service, it seems they really don't know what is going on. It's guessing and speculation, and maybe finding the right solution. It seems kind of crazy to me…
I also had a worrying experience at UPS today, doing my final trade…
He didn't scan everything he was supposed to, claiming I needed to provide a box. After awhile, someone came over, and helped him redo the whole process, and got it processed right. Then I saw the helped individual go over to a shipping table, and struggle FOREVER to put that phone box together. I didn't even get to see it to completion. I really hope everything went ok with it. It was a far cry from my last experience there, and quite concerning.
I got off chat with the activation team. Told me that if I take out/change out the SIM at anytime to switch to a different phone, those days don't count towards the 60 days (I don't believe them). And if I wanted to switch phones to take off the S25, I needed to submit some information of the new phone to use on spectrum. If I did that before the 60 days, it would cause problems in their system.
A regular mobile rep after that just said the countdown starts as soon as the phone is activated. Doesn't matter if the phone is on or active. 60 days is 60 days

More guessing and speculation from the reps.
What I want to know is…
Where is the training at?
But if you are...well good luck.

I have had experience both ways. I had to finally submit an FCC request last year after 4 months to get one phone unlocked. Even then (and Def 60 days on network just maybe not consecutive) the lawyers sent me a letter that I hadn't complied with their policy and they were doing it as a courtesy.
