Samsung Galaxy Alpha (South America) SM-G850M Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G850M firmware?
G850MUBU2CVH1, released September 23, 2022 with Android 5.0.2. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 official builds across 11 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Alpha (South America) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since September 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.
Which Android versions did it get?
The SM-G850M builds in the archive run Android 4.4.4 to 5.0.2. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 5.0.2: G850MUBS2CRH1 (Oct 2018), 16 builds in total
- Android 4.4.4: G850MUBS2CRI1 (Oct 2018), 4 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G850M 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
