Hi, abhi chahal! ( sorry for my bad english).
Recently i've bought an alpha 850f.... can you explain me how to root it ? if I understand correctly the knox counter remain at 0 ? Is it right?
Because I have a macbook I can't use odin software, for now I used the terminal to flash : recovery, Rom etc...I have a Nexus S.
Lolipop is available OTA for Att 850a. I am downloading now....hope this update comes with an unlocked boot loader making root possible!

Hi,
You can easily root your Galaxy Alpha by flashing CF-Auto root with Odin.

Hello.
I saw that there were several requests to create a forum for Galaxy A3 / A5 / A7, but without success. Therefore, I create this topic here in the Alpha series.
How to root the Samsung Galaxy A5 (my variant is A500M duos brazilian) without changing the Knox counter.
Tutorial:
1) Enable USB debugging on developer settings.
2) Download the KingRoot 4.0 apk in the official site and install it. ( http://kingroot.net/root/ )
3) Connected on the Internet, open the app and click the blue button and wait until 100%.
4) Ready. Device with root and Knox 0x0 (valid warranty).
I hope this helps.

Does this mean that if I root my galaxy alpha 850F with cf-root, and not installing the twrp or cm recovery my knox will be untouched? Because all I want to do is to root the device without any cm recovery.

I can answer no.3 because ive done it and knox wasnt changed but i lost the possibility to update OTA. So now odin is the only solution to flash official lolipop.

Even if I don't root it, I will flash lollipop with Odin only, not OTA!
So kingroot can root galaxy alpha running lollipop without tripping Knox?
Hi guys. Very disappointed with L 5.0.2 on my A5.
1. Phone should have benefits of 64 bit, yet it is "stuck" with 32 bit. (Various benchmarks showing it).
2. The S Planer widget is gone after update!
3. The promised longer battery life is not fulfilled. Before on 4.4.4 was getting 2 and 1/2 days with one charge now the best I got is 1 day 8 hours.
More less decided to go back to KK 4.4.4.
Also no difference in phones performance. ..

Thanks ! When lollilop arrive in Brazil (SM-A500M duos), i will not upgrade.
well... back to KK4.4.4 and much better.
I was under impression than L5.x.x will unleash the full potential of 64 bit processor , but for now holding back to see what L 5.1.1 will do.
Till then I am OK with KK 444 as it doesn't cause any troubles, which I had on L 5.0.2...
Does anyone know of this works on the Alpha A3 (A300FU)?
--Edit--
Worked perfectly on the above model and did everything I needed.

You tried rooting with the newly-released CF-Autoroot and it still failed? Or did you use the older version?

I have used the new CF-Autoroot without issue on OK2. Also using Dual Boot Patcher with CM13.
I would expect this to work

But it will trip knox. It wouldn't hurt to use a newer version of the superuser zip if you can find one.
