Stock messaging app does this, no need for a 3rd party app. Open the message thread from the contact in question and hit the 3-dot menu, then custom notifications. You can turn off notifications completely, mute sounds, hide the content, etc. I have my kid's dad muted like this lol.

You have to buy the Mood premium to get the "secret chat" option right?

I think so... I purchased the full version and dont regret it. TONS of useful features... No ads
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mhtruth:
Private/hidden messages are very much different from blocking. The goal isnt to mute notifications. Its to seperate your main txt threads from your private txt threads. Stock doesn't allow this, not even when using Samsung's own secure folder app. So a 3rd party Apps like go sms... Mood... Textra... Etc are still needed for this level of functionality.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] demunted:
Solved: Need latest stock image for SM-A505W, stuck in dnld mode "SW REV CHECK FAIL"

Solved - See post below.

Hi all, got my A50 and decided to root it, all was going well, had twrp installed and couldnt get the OS to boot after booting back to twrp and choosing reboot recovery. Frustrated i powered down and let it boot normally - bad idea. So it boots normally and seems to have tripped knox, overwrote twrp and not boots to the exclamation mode.

I can get it into download mode, but every recovery image i have wont flash in twrp, the phone shows "SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) Device: 2, Binary: 1". Based on what i've read there are two fixes, one is to repack the tar file without some key image files. Seemingly it crashes at "boot.img", so i tried that with 7zip. Adding the "AP" back in without the img files that fail, just cause the next one to fail, they are all failing with this error. So i'm stuck. I think i need a newer recovery.img.lz4

Info about phone (from box)

Model: SM-A505W

Long: SMA505WZKA

SW: A505WVLU1ASE3

I did apply an update to the stock firmware before unlocking/rooting so thats probably the problem. I believe i need a newer recovery image please.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] demunted:
Solved - Flashing updated firmware worked, flashing old firmware doesn't work because the phone has some kind of rollback block (efuse likely).

FYI it turns out that the ASE3 is an older firmware and i need, all the sites to download suck MASSIVELY, but i found this for the newer firmware: Full Firmware A505WVLU2ASH2_A505WOYV2ASH2_9.0 BY Windows4Droid .zip: https://mega.nz/#!jlMgBYaA!1uC5J_4Gm-MKxFiFdvTqlpMA8DNt8tZFxG9kyk3v1WI

Here is ASE3 for anyone that wants the older one: https://mega.nz/#!TrozmCKZ!IRFpufwis7LF-ov8XYRTTvpKc8AlKUHvSAt6NSsWKTA

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nevea:
Hey guys... long time since i posted here. I still have my V20 H910 and i want to upgrade it to Oreo. ATT sim in phone will not show or allow any updates (says up to date) So i been trying to see what would the easiest way to flash H915 (All that ATT bloat gone) while still being able to use LTE? (Phone is now unlocked so i wont be on ATT)

I have been looking at all these guides but i seem to be getting mixed answers...

Can anyone point me down the right path? I saw somewhere that the H915 OREO KDZ is all you need while others say you need to root and patch the modem... So confused...:confused:

Appreciate it!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Jogg3r:
The only way is to install the 915 kdz with lgup and then root the phone with dirty Santa method. (install twrp, somewhere here in the forum) then you can flash the AT&T oreo.zip (also here in the forum somewhere) with twrp. You have to go with these two steps because there is no official oreo kdz provided by AT&T. Then your phone is absolutely 100% stock h910 oreo with no root and no failure message while booting . That the only way I know. I also did it. Goodluck mate! It's worth it. My LG V20 is the only phone I would say it was absolutely Worth it to upgrade to a newer android OS. I usually dont install updates on smartphones. My s9+ for example is still running with oreo thank God.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] woldranger:
Thanks for the post - I was wondering, what would you say were the main benefits of moving up to Oreo? Up until I bought a few Li-Po batteries I figured I might as well give it a go as the battery life was SHOCKING anyway and I'd most likely end up selling the phone so I had nothing to lose, but now I've gone from 2-3.5 hrs SOT to 5.5-7.5 hrs and I'm really happy with the phone.

Like you I'm generally reluctant to upgrade phones as there do tend to be bugs that crop up and battery life can take a hit which, for me, negates the minimal gains I'd receive with the features of the new OS (in this case, the option for some camera mods in GCAM).

I've also started using a couple of App-only bank accounts so leaving my phone rooted isn't an option (I use them for travelling so I don't get charged for international exchange rates etc).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Jogg3r:
Oreo is speedier and supports LDAC. Actually that's it. At least for me. :D. GCam is also working with nougat btw.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] woldranger:
Speedier? Is it noticeable in general use?

I just looked up LDAC - I tend to go for quantity over quality when it comes to listening to music on the move (I travel for 4-8 months a year so I try and download as much as I can to my device to negate the impact of poor wifi).

Yes, I have GCam on mine but it's the later stuff, the "night sight" that I'm interested in and it seems that only works on Oreo :(
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Jogg3r:
Night sight is not good on the LG V20 oreo. My phone starts to lag and colors are not realistic. No generally you won't feel the difference. So if you are afraid of rooting it bc you are not a big tech guy. Just leave it and use nougat
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] woldranger:
Ah right, so night sight isn't working very well for you? Combine that with the speed increase not being overly dramatic and I think my decision is made - thanks for your input, much appreciated.

But no, it's not because "I'm not a big tech guy" - I've been using xda for years - my first smart phone was a used HTC HD2 that I switched from window to Android and then had it running natively from the sd card ;) I've had 3 Samsung's that have all had a decent level of work done on them, the reason I'm reluctant to root the V20 is as I mentioned, I don't want to risk the banking apps being screwed up or the battery life taking a hit .

For once I might just resist the urge to tinker to possibly make a phone that works well, work a little better and then running into all kinds of annoying issues!:laugh:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Jogg3r:
But like I said in my first post. If you install the official oreo att zip with twrp, the root will be undone and the Bootloader will be locked again! So banking apps should work again! My oreo is absolutely stock now.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] woldranger:
Yes, I understood that, but there really isn't any reason for me to do that and upset how the V20 is working at the moment - I've NEVER had a process involving rooting a device go without a hitch (I must be super unlucky!) so I'll just leave well alone. If I had a second device I'd most definitely give it a go.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] alerton:
Hi, im thinking of doing this on my v20 that currently has LOS16 on it but the camera is not working and the battery life is horrendous. can you tell me if the hotspot works using this method, thats the main reason i changed from stock. :confused:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nookin:
This is rather extreme to get a phone updated. If you are in the US, you just have to borrow or order an AT&T SIM to get your phone updated. This might even work outside US, but I don't know.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] atrix4gtransamgta:
I had a similar issue at first. Verify the drivers are good to go (it shows up as the right device in device manager) aside from that, try to boot into recovery or something to shut the phone down. Now hold down both volume buttons at the same time - followed by the power button. Immediately plug the phone in. Took me a couple tries but eventually you will succeed.

Hi, I think it is not the adb side problem. Because when I use my laptop to connect to another phone, it works fine. Some one suggested the oneplus driver is not the latest. Actually I have checked the forum. It seems it is the newest one AFAIK.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] CookieMonster23:
this took me a couple of hours to figure out so hopefully, it works for you all. I got a program from the xda forums called TOOL ALL IN ONE which can put your phone into edl mode at the click of a button. I also went to the device manager to make sure the phone was showing up as Qualcomm and not the QLK_ USB thing. if it shows up for you you have to download the drivers. I updated the drivers through the windows update > view optional updates > Drivers and install the Qualcomm one and restart pc. Then plug your phone in have the TOOL ALL IN ONE put it in edl mode then quickly open msm as administrator and uncheck Sha256 and press start. I think my Qualcomm driver was out of date and that might have been what caused me to have the param preload issue.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Rayan:
Thanks but this does not work if you are stuck in Fastboot mode. :(
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Rayan:
Finally got it to work. Turns out the vast majority of problems people encounter while trying the MSM Tool is with the Qualcomm drivers.

I found the correct (and latest version) drivers.

Just unzip the CAB file, uninstall any old Qualcomm drivers you have tried, and then install this one. It should work!

Let me know if you need any assistance.

although I had identical error "param preload failed" with a different model (nord n10 5g), i am posting the solution that worked for me after couple of days troubleshooting, because i hope it could help someone else desperately looking for a possible solution in any xda-page like I was.

I have downloaded the drivers from multiple sources on internet:

1. fe241eb3-d71f-4f86-9143-c6935c203e12_fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d

2. 20855130_dae427ffe0a2d6268aa209d782d05ea874aad0dc

3. drivers auto-install tool:

4. and the ones on this thread

none worked for me, but I could not find the 9008 drivers in any of the above. I ended up uninstalling all drivers by flashing twrp recovery permanently through fastboot, then using twrp to boot into edl, then quickly clicking enum then start on the msm tool which result in the error message 'param preload failed' this keeps the edl active and prevents rebooting into fastboot after few sec. this gave me the time to uninstall the drivers one by one (from device manager).

when all drivers were uninstalled (9008 + 90e ... ) I got the following screen on the device manager:

from here i launched windows update, then searched for updates then viewed the optional-updates: in there a Qualcomm driver was listed (dated 2016) I installed that, and from there the msm tool worked successfully and the error 'param preload failed' did not appear. My phone has now the stock rom and I am out of the bootloop caused by trying to flash an OS using twrp.

I believe the problem was that I installed multiple qualcomm usb drivers without uninstalling the previous ones.

I had to restart windows sometimes, but i can not remember whether that was related to this solution or something else i was trying out.

Make sure you have uninstalled the old qualcomm drivers from device manger, also make sure you uninstalled it from your pc if you installed it there. You have to manually install the driver RYan posted. Here are instructions (scroll down till you get to Method 2: manual): lhttps://www.thecustomdroid.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-drivers/#method-2-manual
