But how do i do that? the screen itself is unresponsive

Can you get to odin mode? Use one of sfhubs GB one clicks?
That way when you plug the usb in, you wont be prompted to change mtp settings. And you'll have access to the internal storage.

Have you tried a USB jig?

Nope.... only other way?
Hold down menu and A as its powering up, then when its on the Sense screen, press 1 and it should boot into download mode.
REMEMBER, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK EFS CLEAR

Hey Biggoron, I've had success holding the 2 button and power. Give that a shot and see if that works for ya!
Try typing "d-o-w-n-l-o-a-d-m-o-d-e" while holding the power and camera buttons, that always seems to do it for me

Never mind. To copy apps you need access to the system folder which means you would need to root.

you could odin a custom recovery image, boot into recovery and create a nad of your phone and then dropbox it for safe keeping. Flash the original recovery - i think i saw it in the development threat - and check the flash counter to see if you tripped it... if you did then you'll have to follow the instructions in the dev thread on how to reset everything to stock, it'll take a bit of the search function and some reading but should be releatively easy.

I error out at 67% but then I get flashing soft keys...what to do next?

i dont wanna scare you but the only time ive heard of soft keys flashing was a hard brick.... you sure you download the right files?

i dont mean to bash or be mean man and i know it can be confusing but wrong thread. ALL questions belong under Q and A
besides the obvious (wrong thread) I have the exact same issue. LGNPST keeps stopping at 67% or 85% and not working. Then my device stopped working all together. taking it to the store tomorrow.
I just unplugged my phone, let it reboot than plugged it back in and lgnpst finished up after that. It kept freezing at 85% for me.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
The 67,85% issue is a bug with the software, but it's not an issue. Your device would reboot then and everything would be peachy.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Does your phone do anything while not plugged in? Mine when i bricked didn't. You may need to take out the battery.

Yes with a torx 5 screwdriver and Phillips 00
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Ok! Even though this is the wrong forum...again I apologize. I was able to recover lol.
Heres the story: my phone soft bricked. I had zv8 rooted using the AIO tool and unlocked bootloader using freegee app..support the devs! And was lazy lol.
A friend of mine decided it would be a fantastic idea to allow the OTA for ZV9 to install...needless to say the phone went nuts. Into "epileptic mode" as I like to call it.
The phone would not turn on..at all...unless you hooked it up to usb or AC. And even if you connected to such power options...the phone would only flash the the red notification light and the softkeys consistently over and over like a police car lol.
Even after running LGNPST. It would go back to "epileptic mode" after reboot at 67%. I found this to be annoying....since the firmware was flashing without issue.
I hopped on IRC and fiddy and shelnut2 instructed me to do a battery pull. Thank God for them lol.
I got a T5 screwdriver and a small philips, removed both screws from the bottom and then removed the back cover carefully. Once it opened I peeled back the blue clear tape covering the battery connections and removed the two screws under that (used philips). Disconnected the battery for 5 seconds then reconnected and pressed power on button and finally.....PROFIT!!!!!!
Phone booted with stock firmware from LGNPST.

My brothers S3 is soft bricked, it boots but will not go into recovery mode. It will go into download mode but before I am able to flash anything it shuts off. I made sure that the battery was fully charged. Any suggestions?

Whwn you go into download mode are you connected to ODIN? Does Odin at least see the device?
Odin recognizes it but before it can do anything the phone shuts off

Make sure it has a satisfying click when pressed. If yes than I'm wrong. If not than try pressing it a couple times or spraying compressed air at it.

Odin not recognizing my phone

So I am having a huge issue: about a year ago I rooted my sph-l900. No issues, flashed Roms perfect, no bricks,just a clean, perfect machine. Then about a week ago I decided to unroot to update to 4.3. Suddenly, Odin decides it no longer sees my phone in download mode. I've tried reinstalling drivers, using a different computer/cord, completely wiping the phone. Tried removing the battery, tried removing the SD card, even found a flashable zip that completely removed root and placed it back to stock. Now I'm at stock 4.3 and Odin still doesn't recognize my phone in download mode. I'm about to lose my mind. Anybody have a solution that doesn't involve one of the above?

Nobody? It's recognizing my phone outside of DL mode, just no luck when I'm actually in DL mode. (Yes, I've tried both putting it in DL then plugging it in and the opposite).

Probably wrong drivers.
Wish that was it. I've used around four or five different types (based on other sph-l900 users) and all end with bollocks.

Either that or perhaps the OP is using an old copy of Odin not intended for Knox ROMs.
OP, what Odin version are you running?
I've used everything from 1.83 to 3.09. I run as administrator. I'll try another cord later today when I get off work but I don't believe that's the issue.

Have you tried a different USB port on the pc? I can usually switch between the two front ports and Odin will finally recognize it.

Solved. For some reason when I used someone else's cord (and my laptop), Odin noticed it right off the bat. Thanks for the help guys!

I had this issue before and helped someone out here recently. Despite the cable "working" most of them don't. I've ALWAYS used a genuine HTC cable (yeah I know...I have a Samsung product) whenever messing around with Odin or when connected to the baseband. Those aftermarket/ebay cables should be avoided for anything other than charging or using MTP.

Meh. Monoprice cables work fine IME.
It was an LG cord that did it. But my last cord I used was a ten dollar one from a gas station.
