Att Galaxy Alpha g850a came with a locked bootloader. Locked bootloader, no root. No root, no device development.
If you get another variant of the device, there are a few custom roms based on stock touchwiz.

Ok thanx for answering, Dont know which version we have in europe, but i might not get a alpha at this time, a shame.
You can consider galaxy j7 as an option (If it's available in your country). It has decent power and is less costly than alpha

Yeah 2 Roms.. No kernels, no miui, no color os. No rro layers them Roms. No Roms om needrom.com
Alpha is out of the question now. Development just to bad
Sent from my Optimus G using XDA Free mobile app
Imho I think it's not that bad, we got the best roms available for the 850f. (I didn't like miui), I tried most famous ones and ended up with resurrectionRemix on my previous phone. Which I loved (once I found my way in all the little settings )
We got different kernels too and the 850F is rootable, all together this is enough "choice" for me.
If you want the most choice in roms and kernels go for the S-series.

Does the dump include the modem? We desperately needed the modem to be ported to the international versions (I-9200 and I-9205). HSPA+ signals are very inconsistent and I believe porting the modem from the AT&T version will help us a lot.

No roms will work, if ever, on this device because it has been "protected" by Att from running unsigned boot and recovery images.

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me any compatible roms, that work the Sprint Galaxy Mega 6.3? Everyone rom I try looks to be for a GSM device. I can't figure out any way to get my Sprint service on the device after flashing one I mess with the setting in each one, to search for Service Provided etc and have no luck.
Could anyone tell me which ones you have been successful with, and what you did to get CDMA services working on it?

Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
From the looks of this, you just followed instructions from this thread here now, even though this appears to have worked, I would not suggest going through with actually flashing anything or making backups.
The reason is partitions are different across some of the G3 devices and it would not be a smart idea to risk flashing something to a wrong partition, especially since there are 16 and 32 gb models.
With that, it looks like there is a bypass on the VZW model which is a good sign for future use.

Yes we can. This is no different than flashing a custom ROM using safestrap on a Samsung product. I don't think you guys realize how big this is. While its not a boot loader unlock, we will be able to flash custom Roms based on factory ROM.
Hoping we get Aosp soon.
