G850A vs G850FQ

Is it possible to overwrite/overflash G850FQ bootloader on G850A ?

or

Can you advise the result of odin flashing G850FQ firmware on G850A ?

Kind regards

See my photos, I select all related 4 files and flash via odin and did a wipe in cache and factory reset.

About your wifi password, I am good with mine (e.g wifi auto connect after power down and up)

Is there any way of getting this without att bloatware
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
Since boot loader on AT&T version is locked, you can only flash official firmware. No custom firmware allowed. Also the reason why there is no root for this version. That being said, the AT&T bloatware is easily uninstalled or disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] alphaeagle777:
Sadly no uninstall, for most of them, and disabling apps will reset when I clean up all the cache

You will probably see it in next millennium when we can laugh at the poor encryption strength of the AES encryption (used on locked bootloader). Until then, you will have to be content with a locked device that can only accept Samsung issued ROMs. No 3rd party ROMs or zips possible.

Battery drain

Hi, i've updated my phone with this version and works great. Thank you for the hard work.

The only one problem is the battery duration, there is a fix for it? with kit kat version the battery time of usage is longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
5.0.2 has worse battery drain, huge memory leak problem as well as worse signal strength problem, compared to KitKat. These are part of the problem with the ROM. No fixes that I know of. I have now retired this phone until there is a new firmware for either 5.1.1 or 6.0. Not going to waste my time downgrade back to KitKat.

This rom has a bug (Camera auto focusing problem).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ilive.co.in:
Working For Unlocked At&t model or not?

is this Rom is also worked with samsung Galaxy Alpha G850A At&t unlocked model or not? Or Does It Lock the Network after flashing this rom on unlocked At&t Model?﻿
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
network lock resides in a separate area of the phone that won't be affected by any ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ilive.co.in:
Safe to Flash Or Not?

It means it is safe to Flash my Samsung Galaxy Alpha G850A Unlocked with this rom?

It will Lock my network or Not?

say it clearly.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
There is never a case that flash a ROM will affect Network unlock status on any phone. But flashing any ROM manually, you risk getting your phone bricked (it is NEVER safe to flash any ROM). In that case, network unlock is the last thing you would worry about.

Besides, the whole reason of this thread is to help those live outside of USA to get the phone updated. Those live in USA can get much easier/safer OTA update directly from AT&T without the need to reset your phone. It is safe to assume all those who applied the update on this thread are using an unlocked version of 850A and stay unlocked.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dononotin:
Hey, I need help. I flashed this ROM and everything worked as described especially the hotspot.

However, how can I be sure that this ROM isn't altered in any malicious way? Is "Samsung Official" in Odin mode really sufficient?

Also, why can't I downgrade back to kitkat using the official apps likes Kies 3 or Smart Switch?

I'm really annoyed that I can't restore my handset to the original software by ways of an official method.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
G850A has a locked boot loader. It is not possible to flash non-official firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Mojar7070:
You'll have to use Odin to flash official firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Mojar7070:
Sounds sketchy...no mention of how to unlock the bootloader...I suggest more research on this. Or if someone just happens to have a extra/spare G820a that is not being used go ahead and try it out.

USE THE GUIDE WITH CAUTION.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] cqdiep:
I can test it, but not for another 2 weeks
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bicione:
Will this provides root?

Hi to all,

I have a G850A 5.0.2 from att. I need to restore some messages and pictures.

Can this version provides root so I can use apps and/or desktop tools to restore?

Already tried Dr. Fone, Asoftech Data Recovery, Remo Recovery for Android and even DiskDigger without successfully recover in full. The closest I could get was DiskDigger by retrieving thumbnails.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
No, you need unlock your boot loader in order to have root. The version posted in this thread is the same factory firmware. There isn't any way to unlock the boot loader for 850A so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Mojar7070:
Do you think it'll work?? Really skeptical about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bicione:
Thanks.... Its kind of frustrating when you accidentally lost valuable recent pics and those jerks removed all the options for recovery on the G850A...

....no SD Card (usable on PC restoring tools), no UMS (usable for external tools) and no Root (usable for restore apps)

...and not even simple stuff like a freaking recycle bin (2 steps deletion)

...or even simplest things like a warning about the aprox. total files to be deleted could have helped

...but, it is what it is... #NoMoreWhining

Thanks to the folks from DiskDigger.... something is better than nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
I don't believe it will work. No one has been able to root 850A successfully so far. A locked boot loader is a locked boot loader.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] lazereid:
It didn't work for me....
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vimalsuthar:
Hello friend i am new here. But i know how to install ROM's using Odin but i have few question.

1. If i flash lollipop firmware in My Samsung galaxy Alpha AT&T SM-G850A Then what will happen with my IMEI numbers? I mean it would void my IMEI number's?

2. I have unlocked AT&T I am from india uf i flash this firmware then could it be back to factory version i mean can it go back to locked version?

3. And how to flash with 4 Files? I mean i flashed my s2 GT-I9100G with only 1 file

And sorry for My bad English
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
Flash a factory firmware won't change IMEI, nor unlocked status. Don't need to worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vimalsuthar:
I am from india but my phone is AT&T can i flash this firmware in my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vimalsuthar:
And how can i backup my IMEI numbers without pc nor root? Please bro help me
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
AT&T version has locked boot loader to ensure you that you can only flash factory firmware. Don't worry about IMEI numbers because factory firmware won't touch that part. Even if you managed to back it up (which is not possible), you won't be able to restore it anyway. If you are so worried, there is zero need to flash it. This firmware makes phone worse than KitKat. I regretted upgrade mine. Now my Alpha is sitting in the draw for the past year or so. It is that bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vimalsuthar:
You have flashed your Alpha AT&T then whats the status about your IMEI numbers? Can you please tell me sir
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
IMEI number never changed. No one has. The only ones that report problem are those with other models (unlocked bootloader) and the guy flashed a custom ROM that is not for his specific model. There are probably a dozen or more different models of Galaxy Alpha. Some with different hardware as well. So, flashing a ROM that is not designed for your specific model is risky. This is not the case with AT&T version because it has a locked boot loader. No one has managed to unlocked it. Hence, the only firmware it can accept is the factory firmware which NEVER changes IMEI nor SIM unlock status. Why are you keeping ask the same question.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vimalsuthar:
Sorry Sir i am Afraid because i've a samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100G and i am flashed Samsung galaxy S2 GT-i9100G after flashing the S2 firmware i lost my IMEI number so thats why i am asking you and sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
That is because there are sub-model numbers that differentiate them. GT-i9100G is a generic model number for international version of GS2 but I know for sure there are more than dozen different sub-model numbers (usually a few characters after the model number) out there. Galaxy Alpha is the same. With the exception of G850A (which is specifically for AT&T), I know G850F has many different sub-model numbers released for different regions of the world. So is G850M.

When you flash a custom ROM, make sure you asked the ROM author which specific model it applies to.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vimalsuthar:
Ok thank you sir

This is 100% safe with this ROM you will not loose IMEI numbers and no bugs in this ROM Of LOLLIPOP 5.0.2 buddy if you are not on a ATT network you then you didn't get the firmware of lollipop you are stucked on kitkat 4.4.4 . Flash your firmware nothing will happen to your phone buy this is the for SM-G850A do not flash this on any other phone.

1st step- download samsung galaxy usb driver . If usb driver is not properly installed your pc would not recognize your phone

2nd step download firmware its around 1.32GB after downloaded extract ROM then you will see 4 files in it.

3rd step- turn off your phone and put it into "DOWNLOAD MODE" by pressing "power button", "volume up", and "home button" then a window says that press up button to continue and down for cancel click on "up" button

4th step- connect your phone to pc by usb cable and open odin software in your pc if the pc recognize your phone then this name will appear "ID:COM ADDED"

5th step-put 4 files into odin like "CL", "AP"

6th step- click on start then wait until odin says "pass" after that disconnect your phone and its Done

Hi

I have an T-Mobile MDA III (German, I think the same model Buzz has/had) with a cracked LCD display.

From what I can pick up on these boards I need the following LCD replacement:

Sony ACX502BMV-7 - however, the board I have received from a supplier on eBay is the following: Sony ACX502BMU-7518J11D, 60H00015-01, designed for a Dopod 700.

Before I open the packaging, can anyone tell me if this part is suitable for my MDA III.

Its been broken for some time now and I want to get it going again now that I am feeling better and ready for WM5.

Reply most appreciated.

Kindest regards

Hi LGSilva, unfortunately not that simple, there is more than one lcd screen for the BA, I just need to know if the LCD model quoted will work with my unit.

The Dopod 700 is certainly one of the many HTC clones, but some of the units have slightly different specs etc including different LCD displays/boards etc.

See this link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Partnumbers

If anyone knows for sure, please let me know.

Janeway
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] LGSilva:
If the second part number "60H00015-01" on your new screen is the same on the WIKI then probably it isn't it.

60H00015-01	Sony ACX502BMU	ipaq 4355	3.5" LCD 240x320

60H00018-00	Sony ACX502BMV	HTC Blueangel	3.5" LCD 240x320
