hey guys,
So I decided to install a custom rom and as I understand I need to root the phone and install a custom recovery but I don't want to brick my phone.
When I searched for how to do that for the alpha I found several methods like kingroot and ODIN.
I installed G850FXXU1COI1 manually using ODIN.
My question is what is the surest way to root and install a recovery for the alpha (850F model) ?
First of all, what is your galaxy alpha model, and yes, the first step is to install root app like super su, then you can look for custom recovery that is the most essential tool for installing custom rom.

It's the 850F model.
And mentioning the root, does the phone stay rooted even after installing a new rom ?
UP!
150 members saw this thread and not one of them has rooted his phone before ?!!
If I remember correctly:
- First instal twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-openrecovery-twrp-2-8-sm-g850f-t2931017
- root with chainfire autoroot https://download.chainfire.eu/529/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-slte-sltexx-smg850f.zip
- now you can install a custom rom
Good luck

Hi guys,
I posted a question similar to this before, but did not get much reply.
I have a chinese Razr, and I would like to install an English stock 4.1.2 onto it. This is mostly because for some reason gapps do not work and I really do want gapps.
I have not flashed phones for two years so I have no idea what everything is. And it seemed like all these requires root. Which is my other problem: I cannot install root on this phone no matter what I try. Someone suggested to me that this was because someone had rooted this phone before in an unconventional way and this locked the phone for any future roots. And when I had updated to 4.0.4 I had lost the root and cannot regain it. I must have tried 20 different methods to root this phone already so I'm pretty sure this is hopeless until I flash a different rom.
In any case, my android version is 4.1.2 and system version is 672.300.384.XT910ChinaRetail.en.CN
And I would like to flash a stock 4.1.2 on it.
Check in the dev forum, you'll find links to the correct gapps for your
version.

This is the gapps you need : http://www.4shared.com/get/HDGIsCws/update_gms_jb_spyder_r4.html
This is the china 4.12 root tool : http://dl.projectlense.com/download.php?file=spyder/razr_legacy_jbroot_034.zip
This is bmm apk : http://dl.projectlense.com/download.php?file=bmm/com.projectlense.bootmenu.getinfo.apk
What you need to do is simple, root your phone using the legacy jbroot by whirleyes, install the bootmenu manager apk file. Reboot into bootmenu recovery and flash the Gapps R4 package.
Dont thank me !
Hello, and many thanks for your great efforts here. I have purchased a new i9100p mobile. Now, i want to root then try a new ROM. My kernel is 3.0.15-i9100pxxlps-cl674609, so i have downloaded a root file '' CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5'' is this right?
second thing, after making it with odin, do i have to install superuser? or just root with the above file and i am rooted? and later i can install any ROM.
last question, now i am on 4.03 originall stock firmware, and i want to try custom Rom 4.4.1, is it possible after rooting?
help me please, i am a noob
The CF Root method is meant for the I9100. But since I9100P is almost identical to the I9100 (except for NFC), that file should work. However, I suggest you go for Philz kernels, which includes root kernels meant for the I9100P also.
After flashing CF Root or Philz kernels via Odin, you don't need to install Superuser app. It will be installed automatically. And yes, you can try any custom ROM after rooting, including 4.4.1.

Flashtool and Firmware from Walton:
http://www.waltonforum.com/index.php/topic,3957.0.html
Root: http://androidxda.com/root-walton-walpad-8
It says for the 8 but the instructions are the same for the 8b.
Backup of stock rom guide here(different tablet, instructions should be the same):

As far as custom roms, don't think there are any floating around.

I have also a SM-J600FN/DS, I am using OFOX, to first install the lineage-17.1-20210213-UNOFFICIAL-j6lte.zip
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][j6lte][10] LineageOS 17.1
Install and running was OK, but like written some pb with phone calls.
Then I tried an other lineage-17.1-20200715-UNOFFICIAL-j6lte.zip
install was OK but at first start never trebuchet ended!!!
So, test the Arrow [ROM][10][J600X][ARM64] Arrow OS
Install and running was OK, but like with lineage-17.1-20200715-UNOFFICIAL-j6lte.zip same pb with phone calls.
I am thinking these 2 ROM with call phone pbs are not for the J600FN/DS but for the J600G
At last test the [ROM][10][ARM] YashxOS for Galaxy J6 2018
Install and running was OK and ALSO the phone calls :+)
Its default is to have gapps built in so I would like to root it to remove unwanted apps!
The .apk KingoRoot and kingroot fail to do so! (failed also with the last stock ROM)
