Working root method for the SM-G850A AT&T device - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

EDIT
I've changed the title to be something informative now, rather than a question.
Ok, so I finally got it working using KingRoot from here (it's probably the official version, but I'm not sure). Since it's an online-based root, you need an active internet connection and that's all you need. Device will reboot twice during the process, in my case, on first reboot, I've re-opened the app and the progress continued. KingRoot conveniently handles the root authorizations itself, but you might want to install your favorite superuser app later on...
Tested on KitKat 4.4.4 version (see attachments)
That's pretty much it. Hope it helps

I tried some of the rooting methods I found in the wild (including the NewKingroot + SuperSU Me) related to the samsung galaxy alpha sm-g850a, but with no luck at all. I know that this is an old device, but I still wanted to have root access for testing purpose.
OneClickRoot claims to have support for the KitKat 4.4.4 version, but I haven't tried it because of a membership requirement.
I hope someone create a new rooting method for this device

Thank you for your reply. I also tried that, the one for SM-G850F (sltexx), but it failed. Also, there's no support for SM-G850A in chainfire's web page. Do you know other working root methods for this specific device?

SuperOne Click doesnt pass ADB server stage and Universal Androot says "Sorry cannot root this device????

If you are brave enough (willing to continue), then do so. Different devices may require different methods of rooting (so you'll just have to see which one works for you).

Its just I'm a bit new to the android scene and hesitant about trying too many things with them...

No. It just depends on your device (and firmware version). These are just the most common ways which don't have to be device specific (only one device can use that method).

[Q] How does MaaS360 detect root device?

My company has instituted use of MaaS360 as a MDM for BYOD android phones. The IT folks are preventing rooted and jailbroken phones from accessing corporate email from exchange.
On my Galaxy S4 I have tried several things to work around, including OTA Rootkeeper, Hide my root app, and SuperSU's temporary unroot. However MaaS360 manages to find out that the phone is still rooted. I tried the solution posted for Mobileiron on this site (freezing the MDM using TiBU immediately after rooting) but that does not work either.
My IT department is fine with "temporary" unroot but they do not think that it is possible to do so in MaaS360 while still ensuring that the device is not permanently rooted. I am wondering if someone knows how MaaS360 figures out that a device is rooted and whether there is a way for it to nor report when the device is temporarily unrooted using one of the methods discussed above.
Have you found a solution to this problem? I was wondering the same thing.

Nope... the only solution is to do a permanent unroot after setting up the ROM/device to your liking and before adding the MaaS360-enabled account.
Sounds like a reasonable solution to me. Thank you.

Yes, I find it alright. Make sure you reboot twice after doing a perm unroot (and before adding your MaaS360 enabled account). Sometimes it takes a additional reboot before the phone actually removed all su-related binaries.

Could you please confirm that it's okay to have a custom ROM flashed while using MDM so long as the device is no longer rooted?
I'd like to do this without ever getting flagged in the first place. My plan is to uninstall maas360, root the device, flash my custom rom, perm unroot the device, reboot twice and reinstall maas360. Will this be okay?
Thanks

I believe that answer depends on how your organization has set security policies on the MDM. For me, I have been using custom ROM (GoldenEYE) for several months now, and not been flagged so long as I add the exchange account after doing a full unroot and rebooting twice. You may want to check with your IT if they are OK with custom ROMs.. Most IT would be OK if you unroot I guess.
The steps you outlines are fine - I pretty much use the same sequence everytime I update to a newer version of the ROM. So far, no problems since 6+ months!

[Q] VRUGOC1 Root

I have been searching around for quite a wile, but I havn't been able to find an answer. Perhaps someone from the community could help me.
My Galaxy S4 took the OTA update to VRUGOC1. It was not previously rooted, and I know there is no current way to root this version.
My question is this: Is there any active root development going on for this OTA update, or am I just stuck?

Desktop kingoot works, download latest version from their website;

Can anyone confirm this actually worked?
I can confirm that Kingroot never worked to root my phone. A ton of ppl here have said it worked on theirs. I've tried just about every way known to get Kingroot to work but it doesn't like my phone. I have tried to download it again and now Google says the site is full of malware and it really does not want me to download from that site.

[ROOT] Huawei Mediapad T1 8.0 PRO LTE T1-821L

** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **
To root Huawei Mediapad T1 8.0 PRO LTE T1-821L
Build No: T1-821LV100R001C178B007 (I guess it should work on older builds too)
Use KingRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
or
http://www.kingroot.net/
Worked fine for me, purify app from the developer also installs automatically unfortunately.
Again your warranty may be void after rooting.

Bootloader unlocking can be officially done through registering on huawei's Chinese website (don't worry just choose english lang) and following "refomatting lock" guide: https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
On custom recovery and ROM: no developer is working on that, as far as I know. I've started to research it but I have very limited experience on building custom recovery from source and I haven't found one developed to a similar device to port it.

Rooted mine as well with KingRoot.
You can freeze Purify now since you are rooted.
You can install Xposed Framework as well, Any version before 2.6 is working fine.
KingRoot does its job well indeed! However there is a problem with applying
Super-Sume afterwards. It's strange, on other KK devices it went smoothly...

there is a thread on how to replace kingroot supersu or such. with each kingroot update they try to block the replacement
Ponder not exactly the case the latest KingRoot needs the latest Super-Sume.
After many trials only this pair works for me: KingRoot 4.8.1 with Super-Sume 9.1.3
Any other combination fails, it's strange, especially when with older KingRoot (4.8.1 as still it makes root) attempting the latest Super-Sume... (it fails)
However there's another problem, specifically for the MediaTab T1. After replacing with Super-Sume, indeed, SuperSU is working and kicking, but unfortunately JUST ONLY when you set the option GRANT as "Access -> Default policy" (in SuperSU). When you set PROMPT it fails as the system somehow prevents popping up messages (in this case: requests for user's approval to grant root for an application).
Has anybody any idea how to alleviate this?
People used to say there's some sort of ui overlay in this MediaTab. Probably it blocks third party apps' pop-ups... What to do, what to freeze?

Thanks for this thread and the links......I rooted my Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 LTE-821L last night using Kingroot only took 2 or 3 minutes very straight forward after a bit more forum reading I downloaded and installed Titanium backup....
T1-821L rooted with the latest Kingroot app. Very easy. Then i downloaded Super-Sume 6.0 APK File. Now i have SuperSU. No problems!
I would love to find a development tree for this phablet.
It is lacking:
1. Developers!!
2. Custom recovery (TWRP/CWM)
3. CPU Governor development
4. That sweet baby-jesus Custom Rom that hordes of nerds pray for! I would do it myself but i am linux disabled. Cyanogenmod nougat update would blow ppls minds but for now i would settle for stripped 4.4 android with cpu overclocking.
To Rom or not to Rom - Having my fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
Breed no longer sell these. Anyone know someone else selling?

Root instructions for the Phab 2 Pro?

I temp rooted mine with dirty cow, however it gained me very little. There are three main obstacles: 1) SELinux prevents most things from working, because each program runs within a tight security context, 2) using dirty cow causes the kernel to not save changes to the partition (it doesn't want to write a corrupted partition to disk), in other words a r/w /system is useless, even when you can finally write to it, 3) using dirty cow on the most attractive programs (from a permissions perspective) causes "little" problems like the screen going off.
I've been monitoring another XDA thread (sorry, link is at home) where they are working through these issues on another device. There are various approaches and workarounds, but they currently all involve way more risk than I can justify for a $500 phone.
AIUI, once you've got root, you need to be able to put selinux into permissive mode, but surely getting temp root is a start?
Can you not install systemless root?
If I got the dates right, the phone kernel should be affected by this bug. A proof of concept seemed to be promised by the reporter in the next few days. http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/607
Will be interesting to see how it compares to dirty cow as far as access.

Please note that the phone is 64-bit. This is source code that requires compilation and additional code to do anything useful. Prerequisites include the NDK and related build tools installed via Android Studio. I run Linux so it was relatively painless, but I imagine it might be more of a challenge under Windows.

I'd really appreciate some help since I just bought this phone 2 days ago and now I can't use it. I can access TWRP but it seems there's nothing in /system. I think maybe that's the problem. I'm no expert but since I had rooted and downgraded and upgraded firmware several times on my previous phone, a LG G3. I thought maybe I could do this. I shouldn't have If someone can help me I'd really appreciate. Thanks in advance.
I was able to fix this. Sorry to have bothered.
Hi,
I've been able to get proper root access on this phone. One new problem I am facing is that the tango camera and sensors doesn't seem to work. Normal camera works just fine.
Is this related to the rooting or can it be anything else entirely?
Edit: Never mind. I was able to fix it without having to remove the root. Apparently 'Tango Core' didn't have permissions to access camera. I am not sure how that got reset. So I gave access to it and now it works just fine.
