This worked for me today in Texas for an S26+.
I went to Walmart and bought the Moto G 2025 64gb, turned it on and got to the home screen, went to spectrum and traded it in.
Spectrum had to select "Other" for carrier and I got the $400 off plus $705 for the trade in. It seems like taxes were on the price of the phone minus the trade in value, so taxed on $395 at 8.25% taxes were $32.58.
In total I paid $27.57 to Spectrum (1100-400-705=-5 +32.58 tax)
On top of that I paid Walmart $32.35.
So all in was $59.92.

Though, I think this isn't a mistake because S25 also says user/test-keys, and that one has been running fine without any boot looping issues. I think Spectrum's Samsung phones all show user/test-keys
I haven't had any issues running high-security apps (like banking apps, Google Pay, or Netflix). The S25 receives official OTA security patches and updates perfectly fine. Also, the Play Protect certification in the Google Play Store shows "Device is certified"
Samsung probably created carrier-specific builds that are signed with keys labeled test-keys in the build string. It's still technically "release" software but probably was compiled in a specific "known good" environment. Otherwise, Google would refuse to certify the phone
On a side note, both give me the option to "Wipe cache partition" in the Android Recovery menu. Not sure if that's what you mean when you are referring to "app data is wiped"
As for the cause of boot looping, I'd look elsewhere. I don't think "user/test-keys" is a reliable predictor of running into this type of problem
I plan to go to Spectrum tomorrow, get a new physical SIM, and reactivate my previous device.
But I will have to also reactivate the S26+ before day 60 so that it unlocks*. Would I be able to use the physical SIM in the S26+ without the hassle of switching between physical and eSIM again?
Basically I'm wondering if Spectrum will force the line to be re-provisioned onto eSIM when I reactivate the S26+ later on. Don't want to have to deal with their support 3 more times (S26+ to old device, to S26+ again, to old device again).
* unless I'm mistaken and the S26+ needs to be active for a continuous 60 days. Numerous posts in here said it just needs to be active on the line on day 60 to be unlocked.
