Download Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850 Lollipop 5.0.2 Stock Firmware (All Variants)

by Selva Kumar A Leave a Comment

Samsung Galaxy Alpha only received Lollipop version from Samsung. There is no Marshmallow for any variants. Yes, it is an Old device. But, Samsung has a habit of releasing Two Major Upgrades for Mid-Range options. Due to it has only 5.0.2 version and not 5.1.1, We can’t expect a lot of optimizations. There are a lot of features. But, It may consist of some issues, which can drain your battery and make some lag issues. So, I advise you always to flash the latest version. You can flash this firmware using Flashify app If you have rooted mobile. If you have Bricked mobile, you can also Unbrick using the following ODIN method. The success rate may vary depending on the hardware and Boot status.
