i really screwed up my d850 att g3. found this on a forum. and it fixed my bootloop. flash tool didnt work for me.

Found this on AndroidCentral: Saved my life – it got my phone back to original. Hope this helps others.
*****************************************************************************************************************
What worked for me was from the TWRP terminal command was to type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.

it booted up to last rom i put on phone.

I belive your commands are incomplete.
dd command basically copies something. "if" stands for input file. What you miss is "of" which stands for output file. Could you provide me with a link to your source thread?

If you say so... You could look up dd command or test it for yourself. What you or that guy copied is incomplete, idk how it worked.

Found that comment as well, he says he found it somewhere, no source thread there either.
