Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850A (AT&T) - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of a root for the AT&T Alpha? I saw CF-auto-root has one for the unlocked version (SM-G850F), however, I know that is an entirely different phone, so I'm not even going to attempt it. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!

Isn't one. Method you mentioned will not work.

Hmm, Thanks for the info. So I guess I'm just stuck on waiting for a binary to be released.

I think we will be waiting forever....the phone has been out for over 4 months and there is no sign of root for the At&t varient. I don't think there is enough following to make this a priority for any developers. I don't blame them.
I love the phone, I would love it more with root.....
EDIT - from what I have read, don't be fooled by the SRSRoot that claims it can root the At&t Alpha....it doesn't work.

i now that filling,same as you have iphon
battery will be calibrate ,boring interface....

So, is there any news on the root for G850A?

Well This sucks wife just got a replacement phone from her Samsung G3 with an SM-G850A and we cant root it

Not yet, though I have been keeping an eye out for it on the forums and Twitter. If one comes out I will surely will post it here...and like everywhere lol.

no news?
no root yet for the sm-g850a?

Any news?
Has anyone heard any news about any root for the SAMSUNG-SM-G850A?

Is anyone brave enough to try this

I could be wrong but I think that it should be safe to try. Either the root works, or it doesn't and leaves your phone untouched. Only thing I'd worry about is the chance of any viruses the program can come with.
EDIT: Just tried it, it failed.

Thanks for trying. The looking continues.

Do the Chainfire roots for sltechn or sltecan not work for the AT&T version?
Once you do get root though, you'll be in the same boat as me... with no custom roms available out there because nobody is developing for this device.
I'm working on getting a recovery working.. but that's just step 1.

You need the stock recovery on there. You can't have a custom recovery installed.
Thanks, is a link to putting the stock recovery back on?

i just got this update too - anyone have a detailed spec of the update?
well i have just RUU'ed the phone to stock and doing the 1.17 update, I have noticed that when I unlocked the boot loader and rooted I lost the free EA games on it and a few stock apps that I put back on (except the ea free games), also got a lot of calender app errors, I hope this update sorts it. Also until the mods and stuff are more updated etc i will keep it unrooted, as I thought to myself why do i need it rooted as im not flashing roms every day etc.
Plus not having an external SD hurts every time as I have to remember to back up all the stuff before flashing etc >.> <.<

I'm currently working on a universal root method for the Boost/Virgin Mobile variants of the LG K3. I managed to gain superuser access on the Virgin Mobile variant running build no. LS450ZV4. Unfortunately this method has not proven successful on either the Boost Mobile variants or on the Virgin Mobile variants running build no. LS450ZV5. Should I find a universal method -- hopefully in the next few days -- I will post a tutorial in a new thread for the K3.

I've been watching to see if someone found root. I've had this device since the beginning of September. I have no development skills, but a root method would be greatly appreciated. Good luck, and thanks!

There are three of us trying a script for the Dirty Cow exploit on the K3. The dilemma thus far has been the paradox of gaining systemless root on a device with a locked bootloader.

There is no root method for the Virgin Mobile variant that I know of. If you are fortunate enough to have obtained a Virgin Mobile K3 with the initial release build of 6.0.1, then you may get full root access by using the latest PC version of iRoot, a one click root utility.

Hey I have a LG K3 (Kricket Wireless) Any Thing for that?
I'm not familiar with the GSM variants of the LG K3.
GSM, CDMA, same smell as far as obtaining root access. Same pinciples and techniques all around. FS structure may vary, I don't know for certain as I have only worked with the Sprint CDMA variety.
I have been working on a Root method for this device for a few months now. Currently I only have two workable theories due to the sboot and firmware almost globally updated to 6.0.1 as the stock ROM and persistance out of the box. I will post what I've got as soon as I achieve stable and permanent root access. I've scoured the internet and I think it will be the first, correct me if I'm wrong. If achieved this Lil LG will actually be worth a damn. Ha.

develop root amd get paid.....Twrp/kernel/root development

Willing to pay bouty for whoece roots j3 emerge aka smj327p aka j3popltespr .mm. bootloadrr unlocked by crom and knox disablrd with package dissl
Update Feb 22 ....i am now compiling a twrp and porting one from zenfone 3 with same chipset....so we are on our way to atleast a chance for permanent root via supersu zip. ALSO i am going to then work on a kernel with ideaa of su already installed via busybox so we can just flash kernel and update via supersu apk . Any collaboration will be via teamviewer and file sharing ....so id you wanna help pm me ....next ill be updatimg as soon as i begin testing twrp ...cheers and lets get this thing done.
Please post any tools or links to programs that will help and i will credit you when i finally post the twrp file.
You will be hard pressed to find anyone working for that device. Dens don't work on knock off devices. If you have an unlocked bootloader then grab the kernel source and make one.

No what I mean is that it is a copy of another device. It is just a rebranded Chinese based device. That is what I mean.
Boost is known for using rebranded knock off devices. Most of the time they don't even use any for of official software. It's normal some unknown, unheard of Android version.

We already have twrp and root
---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
And it's not really an engineering bootloader, it's combination firmware that gives you insecure adb to remove frp lock from frp locked devices.
There is no reason I can see for needing root without twrp. But if u must just reflash the stock recovery after your flashed root

Im softbricked got twrp on my boost. Im going to unlock bootloader.

Is it possible to downgrade from OREO back to android N or M? (H860n)

My phone is android lg g5 version H860n. Is it possible to downgrade? How? Thank you very much.
It's not with any official way like LG up or whatever i guess. BUT of course you can do it in a custom way. Unlock bootloader, then flash TWRP, then flash the rom of your choice. There are tons of guides out there about how to do it, if you need any more help feel free to ask
Yes

I have had a big research and tried millions of methods the last 2.5 years i got the phone. Without unlocking the bootloader, you cant downgrade nothing. With locked bootloader, you can only upgrade, not downgrade. That's what i have known so far. If something changed lately tho, i will be surprised. Anyways either way it's not hard to downgrade
