Samsung Galaxy Alpha (SM-G8508S) Firmware Overview
The archive lists 9 official builds for the Samsung Galaxy Alpha across 1 region (CSC). The newest one is G8508SZCS1BQD1, released April 25, 2017 with Android 4.4.4. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1: once a phone runs it, firmware with a lower binary can no longer be flashed (how to read a build number).
How to Flash SM-G8508S Firmware
Put the Samsung Galaxy Alpha into Download Mode, load the BL, AP, CP and CSC files into Odin on a Windows PC and press Start. Pick a build with the same or a higher Bit than the one installed — a lower bootloader binary will be rejected.
