Samsung Galaxy Alpha (SM-G850F) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G850F firmware?
G850FXXU2CVH9, released August 19, 2022 with Android 5.0.2. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 official builds across 20 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Alpha still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since August 2022, so Android 5.0.2 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
Can I downgrade the SM-G850F firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 2:
- Binary 2 — since Aug 2014
