Today I got my Galaxy Alpha G850F with Build NHB from Vodafone Germany. I tried towelroot and framaroot, but no success.
How to root it now?
Thanks for your help!

is your bootloader locked?
i want to buy China Mobile version(G8508S) here in Shanghai and i am afraid the bootloader will be locked and this method above won't work.
mine is g850f, don't really know if I have locked or unlocked bootloader.
For information obviously it tripped the knox warranty void, but I don't care

I would like to know if this works on the AT&T version as well.
Cool that's it's rooted already, but there's not a lot of support for the phone, no ROMs, etc.

Ditto for me... on the fence with this one. It has the perfect weight and size, I just don't want it to be an oddball version of a phone that no devs wind up supporting. I've been waiting and waiting for the Nexus 6/X but either way based on the two rumors it seems like it is going up in size which is the opposite direction I'm willing to go.
Guys wait a little, the phone was just released!
Chainfire made root, please note: triggering KNOX void.

I'm interested in this device (to replace a Galaxy Note 3 Neo), however I need it fully HMP-enabled. Is it so? For app support, you can try 3C CPU Manager or 3C Toolbox, it should support your CPU 8 cores already, and show if it's HMP enabled.

The AT&T version is the G850A, just FYI it isn't listed (yet).
I have the att version but unsure if i want to root it yet as i will probably give it to my mother after im done testing
I have the G850F version, and have succesfully rooted using chainfire. But I can't find any recovery (CWM/TWRP) yet...

Did you try Kingo Root? I just got an S4 zoom last week and I rooted it fine with Kingo Root. I just had to let it run for a few minutes and allow it to restart quite a few times until it asked me to accept to root. I used Kingo Root on an S4 I previously owned and it also worked fine. I even un-rooted a few times and re-rooted and it worked fine on the S4 normal =).
i dont trust this root method.
some say its a virus.

Some old news about it did say it was a virus or that it contained some Chinese spy software (vRoot or something) but I believe they removed it or never had it, I forget which one. I just know that I never had a problem with it so far.
Think i used safe root & disable knox

I'd be careful with the C105A AT&T version. Nobody outside of AT&T has the firmware and you cannot flash any other C105A firmware to it. On top of that is the stupid AT&T check that essentially soft bricks the phone if the check fails.

just use kingoroot and everything will be done. There is no virus in the software. they do not store your info. They just root your phone and away you go. get it from http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm

actually you can flash the mexico Telcel firmware found at Sammobile as the mexico version is still the same model and still uses AT&T LTE service
Do some more research you will find it
Edit:
Here is the Link:
C105AUBUAND1 Sammobile link Here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28254 Know that Sammobile is having problems with their servers so download will be slow.
My guess would be that only the ASPN's may be different. So right dow your ASPN's from your existing firmware then if different change them back after flash.
That is the same firmware I tried to undo the soft brick (ATT unauthorized software lock), it would not flash.
I wonder if this would work on our phones

nope, this is for qualcomm based CPUs
Anyone tried Kingroot recently? It doesn't list it as working..... however I got temp root on a LG with Android 6 and a locked bootloader that wasn't listed (after pushing SuperSU it bootlooped with a Secure Boot Error).
I know Samsung has that KNOX crap. I'm going to download the stock firmware and give it a try. I don't have an active Verizon account or warranty.... so IDGAF.
EDIT: I ran KingRoot twice, no luck. I'm sure China appreciates it though. ;]

You're right, however the S6 edge plus has a Exynos 7420.
Using Kingroot 4.81 on Lollipop was able to root my Galaxy Alpha. If anyone is willing to further develop with this, here it is.
Congrats and thank you for letting us know! I gave up on At&T version phones specifically after the S5 Mini was unable to get root, so I got the Alpha SM-G850M for myself to use on Cricket (At&t) and now a SM-G850W for my friend to also use on Cricket. Want to try the SM-G850F and compare them all. The SM-G850A is the most common found on ebay and dropping in price. Until there is a good ROM for the SM-G850A I'll stick with the Intl versions.
I did it too on KK

We are trying to tell you that if you try and execute this root method you will likely brick your device.
Don't ask for help and then argue with the people providing it.

Maybe it one of them is safe. but by all means flash it and go for it.

Damn it slimberg. You are clouding the issue with logic.
Doesn't really matter if the model number is supported, the software version also needs to be supported, which it isn't.
Regardless, don't you think that if a viable root method for this phone was available, that it would already be posted on this forum and that ROMs, Kernels and the like would now be available?
Just a thought

If your rooted then install one of the great ROMs that our fantastic devs have put together. When there is an update that justifies a rom update they usually have one out in a short period of time.
