I also noticed that lock screen is kinda buggy, sometimes it shows help text sometimes it doesnt, theres no transition animation like someone noticed before, and in general 5.0.2 feels kinda laggy to me, i think 4.4.4 is much smoother
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hensk:
if you have problems with that kind of nature,I think you shoild make full wipe /factory reset

before & after your phone boot in 5.0.2.Also can make a problems 4.4.4 scripts ,wanam instaler & wanam moduls

which is only works for KiteKat maybe on Lollypop make problems & makes for sure

[MENTION=218995]predrag[/MENTION] dont use repartition in anyway,where do you find pit file
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jimmymoeller:
I just tried with full wipe before, and after. Same thing still happens.. Mabye my Swedish phone doesn't work fully with the French version? I'll try and update when the Swedish version is released
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mildj84ns:
UI Bugs:

No lock screen to home screen animation

No show all toggles in notifications animation (same as with S5 and Note 3)

No hide dialer during a call animation (same as with S5 and Note 3)

After all this time of waiting for an update, i thought they will fix some bugs from previous releases for other devices, not bring new ones.

Also some people are experiencing problems with recent apps key, that one works fine on my phone, but lacking the screen unlock animation is really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] erto90:
anyone has succesfully rooted it?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hensk:
I think is early realise of 502,and normaly theare is bugs

Hi

I got TIM 4.4.4 soft, then I upgrade to 5.0.2 XEF. Can I go back now to 4.4.4 XEF or TIM or even every 4.4.4 soft keeping my warrancy void?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mildj84ns:
You can go back to whatever official Samsung rom that's made for your device without voiding your warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hammy434:
ok i cant paste links because apparently its spamming.

hey guys im on unlocked UK g850f. want the 5.0 update. my network is EE but my phones unlocked because i bought it through a reseller, not directly from EE.

heres some screenshots of my phone info:

i.imgur(dot)com/SsC4tE7.png

i.imgur(dot)com/kVOdEQd.png

i have been looking on sam mobile website for firmware for my phone, i think my current rom is the latest UK BTU rom.

if you go on United Kingdom (BTU) which i think means UK unlocked, there is no 5.0.2 update.

also if you go to UK EE there is also no 5.0 update. EE is my mobile network.

but UK H3G, which is three UK, they have the 5.0.2 update so i could get that, assuming it would work with my EE sim card.

only thing is the EE 4.4.4 and H3G 5.0.2 both have different PDA and CSC than my phone. i was wondering if anyone could tell me will they still work, i dont want to break my phone...

also if i get the EE rom, do you think EE will have released the 5.0.2 update but sammobile just havent updated their site yet? and then i could update through the phone? EE is the best network in the UK so i'd assume they would have. and if i get the EE rom i can have wifi calling. so i basically want an EE rom.

thanks everyone

No! You did it wrongly. You must choose AP not CSC for firmware upgrading

and you must put your device in download mode. (turn it off, and do a combination of vol down + power + home button to get into download mode)

i have updated over ODIN but not works, i have the Version 4.4.4. NO Failure in ODIN.

Why can i dont update my Phone to 5.0.2 over ODIN?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] erto90:
because you must search for update after doing a wipe after updated with odin.. OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Juoin1001:
Hi all,

After flashing the french version of 4.4, specifically G850FXXU2BOA2_G850FOXA2BNK3_G850FXXU1BOA2_HOME_3.tar using Odin and a factory reset. The update was immediately available OTA. Note, I did not have to change my CSC or use a VPN to spoof my location. I am in Malaysia btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] leo06:
after you flash the csc was the same in phone info?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] H377:
Have you already flashed the update? If yes could you please tell me what teh AP SWREV is in Download mode? Or have you tried rolling back to KK?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] cebulank:
Here in Germany it doesnt work, no update found i did it like that:

1. Run and configure Odin. Do NOT check “Re-Partition” and “Auto Reboot” check boxes.

2. Load the stock firmware in the PDA button.

3. Set the phone in download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power button). Then connect the phone in your computer.

4. Hit the “Start” button and then wait.

5. Once the flashing successfully completed. Do NOT let it reboot into the normal mode.

6. Reboot into recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power button).

7. See if it’s applying the CSC file then wait until it finishes and reboot.

8. If you do not see the CSC installation, instead choose the “Wipe data/Factory reset”. Then repeat flashing the stock firmware. You may then achieved the CSC code flashing the stock firmware on the second attempt.

10. Confirm the CSC code by using Kies 3 or by downloading Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and see if the CSC code has changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] KiDimel:
Hi SLUG92,

Do you still have access to SILENT MODE with this version ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Cheetah72:
Also

1. Wipe Data/Factroy reset under Recovery Mode

2. Download Mode and Firmware 5.0.2. over ODIN

3. Search for Updates in System

Is that correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SLUG92:
yes
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Juoin1001:
I didn't check the csc since the update was available for me immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] leo06:
can you check now?if it is xef
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Juoin1001:
Yes ive updated using OTA, not by flashing the 5.0 through ODIN. I suggest you try flashing the French 4.4 firmware posted before, (open odin, connect you phone in download mode, in PDA, select the 4.4 firmware you downloaded. It should be a file ending in end in .tar) then doing a factory reset after the French firmware is flashed, then check for an update.

If no update is found, then try using a vpn or changing your CSC. Just note that in my case, I did not have to do either of these.

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

Yes I flashed XEF.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Cheetah72:
Dont works by me. I have only the CSC "DBT" (Germany) and can not update it to 5.0.2.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] H377:
Thanks!

Could you please check the AP SWREV in download mode and if it's possible to downgrade/to go back to 4.4.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] cebulank:
same Problem here it stays on DBT and no Update OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Juoin1001:
I could do that tomorrow, it's almost 2am here and I need to get some shut eye. Sorry bro.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] H377:
Gents,

After flashing the XEF 4.4.4 do a factory reset and be sure that the CSC is set to XEF!

After the flashing process it will automatically go to recovery. After the reboot go to recovery again do a full wipe! The CSC this time will be you OLD CSC! Let the phoen boot for the first time set it up and then go to recoverí AGAIN and tehn do a full WIPE! after the next boot it should be XEF! Normally :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Juoin1001:
You need to flash the XEF firmware posted a few posts above. Not your stock whereever-you-are firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] H377:
I see!

Okay no problem! Maybe the AP SWREV? :D Just go to download mode... :D It's the last line :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Juoin1001:
RP SWREV: 2

Is this what you were asking for?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SLUG92:
I have: AP SWREV: 2
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] viktorcardoso:
I've changed CSC from PHE (Spain) to XEF (France):

Reboot to recovery and wipe Data y Cache

Do the initial setup, reboot in recovery and check your CSC. For me it worked.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] GreySephiroth:
It will still use your standard CSC no matter what

100% working method:

1. Root your phone

2.Install BusyBox

3.Install CSC Changer

4. Change CSC to XEF with Changer

5.Go into download mode and flash the XEF Firmware with ODIN

6.Go to recovery and do factory reset

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] GreySephiroth:
I did say it's a 100% working method :). You don't have to flash the French firmware twice, you can change your CSC from you original 4.4.4 firmware as well if it includes XEF CSC, the XEF CSC will remain when you flash the French firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SLUG92:
XEF
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] GreySephiroth:
Even if you flash rom from SamMobile you will still trip KNOX. If you do not want to trip KNOX you will have to wait for the official update for your country/carrier.
