Hi guys!
I recently bought a 2nd hand Galaxy Alpha Korean Variant (LG U+) here in the Philippines for about 130 USD. I have done several Google-ing and successfully rooted my device (after several attempts and soft-bricks). Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the compatible TWRP md5/tar file for my phone (have tried several files but no luck). May anybody provide me the right one? My device has a baseband version of G850LKLU2CPJ1 and currently running Android 5.0.2.
Secondly, can I flash an international stock ROM (e.g. the stock ROM of SM-G850F) to my device? Is this safe?
Another is that, I came across several posts mentioning that a 2500mAh battery is available for samsung galaxy alpha, will it be compatible with mine even if mine is a Korean Variant? And may anybody provide a site or shop where the extended battery may be available?
Fourth thing is that I am using an LTE sim card and I have known for a fact that 4G/LTE signals are available in my location. However, when I am using this phone, it only registers 3G connections. Are there any tweaks that I can do to use the LTE signals?
Lastly, may anybody recommend a good ROM compatible with my phone. I very much enjoy using cyanogenmod ROMS but haven't installed any because of my custom recovery problem.
Thank you very much and hoping for some positive responses.

Theres a TWRP 3.0 for korean variants made by serenityS. Do not attempt to flash ROM for G850F/M/W to your G850L it will soft brick your device. The only compatible ROMs are G850S/K/L. Its hard to find a 2500mah. You can use 4G switcher available on google playstore for switching different bands. There is no stable build for CM ROM yet, you could try the epsilROM for the mean time.

Hi! I have just downloaded EpsilROM 4.2 and wanted to try it. Can I use the default recovery of samsung alpha to flash it? If not, can you provide the link of the TWRP file that is compatible with my device (I'm can't seem to find it). Thank you very much!
Also, I came across this post

have you tried this ROM before? Would you recommend it?
Thank you very much!
PS:
I have tried the TWRP file provided in the link above, but always see "FAIL" in odin.

Of course you cannot flash a custom rom to the original/stock recovery manufacturers wont be liable for the damages to yoir phone due to incompatible of flashed ROMs.
1. You should root first.
2. Install custom recovery.
Galaxy Alpha (sltektt/SM-G850K). Galaxy Alpha ( sltelgt/SM-G850L). Galaxy Alpha (slteskt/SM-G850S).
Your phone variant is SLTELGT look for the thread of serenitys for TWRP 3.0 i havent tried the latest build of modpunk which 3.0.3
You can flash the above ROM jumbo alpha from twrp if you have a stock ROM. Its a debloated /system

I was disappointed that CyanogenMod doesn't list my phone as supported.
I've searched this forum for any other custom ROMs for my Motorola XT800 and didn't see any specifically listed.
I've got 2.1 installed, and want to install a ROM with 2.2, but before I root my phone, I'd like to know what my options are for custom ROMs that I can use.
This is a dual SIM phone purchased in China that I use with China Mobile GSM and China Telecom CDMA. Awesome phone btw, except for not having the Android Market app installed and China Telecom's not releasing an update to FroYo yet...

Any help from out there please?
Alternative ROMs for xt800
Hi there,
I really would like to find a custom ROM for the xt800 (currently running 2.1), so that I can upgrade to at least Froyo, which I hope has better Microsoft exchange integration (I know, its a terrible reason). It is a dual SIM CDMA EVDO and GSM device.
I have rooted the device using Androot, which worked well (though I did have to press root twice). ROM manager is not available in the market, which makes me think that it won't work with my device. Is there an alternative to ROM manager / clockworkmod for the xt800, that I could use to search for and install ROMs?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

How to extract stock from xt800?

Bought the T-mobile galaxy tab 10.1 4g. I am interested in rooting the device so that I can remove unwanted bloatware. I am somewhat concerned by the absence of any comment on the device. I have one week to return it. Should I? Seems that not one single person has an interest in tweaking this device. I thought that this site would have root instructions on line within hours of the November release. I am concerned that it has not. It has version 3.2. Please advise. Thanks.
I too an anxiously awaiting some coverage on this... love the tablet, but dont willing to risk experimenting with it w/o more experience recovering devices.
The largest number of people here by far have Wi-Fi Tabs (P7510) followed by 3G Tabs (P7500). I'd guess about 15-25% have VZW LTE Tabs. Support for the latter dev wise and even from VZW has been pretty light. The good news is the T-Mobile Tab isn't 4G, but 3G HSPA+, the same as the international P7500. The only difference is it supports T-Mobile's funky AWS bands. Depending on how similar it is to the P7500, you may be able to use its ROMs. Post in the dev section and see if one of the P7500 dev's can help figure it out.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Looks like there is plenty of them, particularly international versions. Model seems to me that is 7500. However, I'm not flashing anything until I find the stock restore for Recovery - my previous post.
(Woops... just realized I flashed CWM Recovery last night in order to root so I could unlock radio . So much for being careful grrr)
Has anyone tried any of the available ROMs?

Hi, I am opening this sub-forum for N7005 variant as its a closer relative to I717 than the international N7000 note.
So far, as read and tried from other earlier posts, I managed to root, flash CWM, flash TWRP and flashing of various roms from this I717 Forum without any issue, yet. No changing of modems. So far, no issue with basebands so 4g still works great.
Roms I have tried, the original Paranoid Android and the Cookies & Cream. Both are great roms.
Hope that the Mod dun close me down on here.
Cheers!

Are you trying to say that you had use the same firmware to root your lte note using i717?
yup..
Followed this method.. TWRP same as I717.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-i717-roms/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
Original thread that I read was from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876490&page=2
This is a good thread. I have been trying to find the N7005 all over google and got very a little and mostly, 'irrelevant' results. I believe the note LTE might be a different from the N7000.
Would also like to know if you already have successfully installed the I717 custom ROM on your N7005?
Yes.
I am starting to believe ours have the exact same hardware as I717. It just carry a different model no because of the different baseband.
I have tried ( and successfully flashed ) the original Panaroid Android, the Cookies & Cream, Unofficial CM10 and Liquid Jelly. and also a kernel ( cant remember the name..) All worked well apart from issues with the standard bugs from the current developement of Jellybean. Just be careful not to touch the modem.
There is one little problem though.. I cant really find a convienent way for ours to flash back to stock or remove root if I ever need to send back for official servicing. The only solutions on the web suggest flashing US Carriers specific roms , which does not apply for us.
Well actually, there is a way to go back to official stock.. 2 day ago there was a minor update from samsung. so I flashed and it remove the root. And my firmware now read, Official Samsung.
I haven tried flashing again as I felt that though all the developers are working very very hard for JB and I do really appreciate the efforts , imo its not that stable yet.
Its pretty safe, I tried and they worked. BUT, PLS DO A BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK ROM!! Need any more info, I can share.
Disclamer: I will not be responsible for any kind of damage, bricked or blow ups...
And, U have to understand that if things goes wrong during flashing or any weird errors appears later, the developers are not oblige/not able to help as the I717 stuffs just " happen to work " on our device.

I'm currently still stuck with my SGS, looking at N7005 when my contract expires. You said don't touch the modem, why is that the case? From my understanding you can just flash the baseband back on my SGS, is there an issue if you flash another modem on the N7005? Region issue?
The SGS have great international and local support. Any resources are readily available.
I717 is pretty much confined to the US. Their modems are specific to their baseband's bandwidth. There is no such modem in our region that u can safely flash that is guaranteed to work with our carrier. I know HK they have a forum for N7005 but its all in chinese. I am not too good in that. And, I dun see any real needs to flash the modem as well.
BTW, for local users that have a habit of flashing roms, I wouldnt recommend this model at all. The device is great but zero local support. I have even checked with Official Samsung Singapore and they dun even know if N7005 is getting JB but Original Note N7000 will be and the Note 2 will launch with JB. Go for more sensible options my brother...
I bought this purely because it was cheaper that time. And I traded in my nexus so this phone was basically free.. Then later I realise I will have the flashing "issues"..

I did look at the original note and S3, but what I wanted was larger display and I have a budget so I might not consider Note 2. I wanted to get LTE Note since it supports LTE and it would be a waste if we didn't make use of that.
I did see on starhub website that it states it is upgradeable to JB, but their website is always providing inaccurate information. Thanks for the recommendation, might reconsider. :good:

Can I have the link, please?
The 4g would come in handy for sure. I actually turned that off coz its eating my battery like theres no tmr..
Regards the HK forum, I dun have the link anymore.. ask Google my friend..
I realised the information on our local telco (Starhub) said processor is 1.4 Ghz, but the SHG-I717 is a 1.5 Ghz Scorpion.
Also the firmware stated on Samsung website says it should be ICS instead of GB, where Starhub says its GB and upgradable to JB?
So which is correct??
Look elsewhere for information. Believe the opposite of starhub. The specs they listed belongs to the international note N7000.

Hello I have a Galaxy s3 d2lte Boost Mobile.
I'm in desperate need of a custom rom and here's why
I installed custom recovery I backed up my whole system. so I decided to install this rom I thought it was the right rom it was lineage os d2spr actually works no sim. So I do more research and d2lte ROMs are scarce so I said ok going back to stock. Wipes phone, Restores backup boot up stock all my apps are crashing every five mins and it lags. oh **** so I look through roms thinking I ****ed up.
So I download a rom d2lte of course no sim found. so I install another no sim found. I was about to give up I installed Kandy Kat slimrom it works but it's pretty glitchy
I can survive for now but any recommendations?
I don't want to get a new phone s3 is new to me and works I prefer a later version of Android 5.0+ however I am not picky.
Thx pls help

The phone is used. I bought it for like 50$ and I thought it was a decent deal.
What is the model # in download mode?
This forum is for the international version of the s3 with an exynos chip. The d2lte has a Qualcomm chip.

SPH-L710T is the model number
Did you try flashing the latest stock rom from sammobile.com with Odin?
The imei in the phone matches the imei on the label under the battery?
It will not work the don't have the L710T firmware mine is the quadcom 4g and I tried 2 L710 Rom before and the didn't recognize my sim because I assume it's not L710T.
Try this: on androidforums.com search for "ROM's confirmed working for SPH-L710T"... Good luck!

Not sure if this will help but I found this on another forum: http://www.mediafire.com/file/oyc8zhdq3waiyy4/
So I spent all day looking for roms and I think I'm going to go with OctOS and I'm going to make a new thread on working roms and my story when I get home today on the Sprint Galaxy S III page. It was quite a journey hopefully other people can learn from it. I think I may be able to fix my problem today.
Hi,
I am new here and as my first post I cannot post directly in the ROM section. I am after a custom ROM and not the OEM firmware that I have already downloaded from sammobile.com.
I have searched the ROM forum and I have found ROMs for several versions of my phone but not my particular spec: SM-G361F (core prime ve lte) coreprimevelte
Have I missed a compatible ROM in my search or are other ROMs for similar specs e.g. coreprimeve3g compatible or do I have to develop/build my own from source?
Your help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Alex
In the meantime I am in the process of trying to learn and mod the official firmware for this phone using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-develop-modify-roms-t3616040
If it is successful I will make available here.
The next step would be to try and port one of the existing custom ROMs but still much to learn.

I can test it for you. I work in a phone store and have acces to multiple g361f phones. So if anyone has anything to test out I can help.
We use the g361f phones as loaners so it would be nice to rune some sort of up to date firmware on it.
