I have bought an MHL adapter, and also a HDMI to HDMI cable.
1) apparently it did not work and my screen on the phone turned green and I had to reboot my phone. Since then, my phone then going into screen off, may observe some grain lines just before the lights on the screen turns off.
2) i had problem with my WIFI tethering.. it just prompts me error, and even with reboots, I can't seem to provide WIFI hotspot. I tried looking for threads but to no avail, hoping for some experts to enlighten me on this two issues.
Thanks in advance..
It may help to mention what rom / kernal combination you have.
Sent from my GT-I9100
May also help to mention;
1. is the MHL adapter you're attempting to use an OEM Samsung MHL adapter, or some knock-off?
2. When attempting to use the MHL adapter, are you plugging in power to the adapter? And if so, are you using the original AC adapter that came with your phone? If not, you should try that.
3. "problem with wi-fi tethering" and "it just prompts me error" doesn't begin to describe your problem.
You need to provide much more detail if you expect anyone to be able to help you.

It only prompted me with the ONLY word error after I mark on hotspot tethering. How do I provide more information for that when the phone error doesn't give me more information?
yes, like you said, it's OEM Samsung MHL adapter with Original AC adapter and everything original..
The only thing that's not original is my ROM & kernel.
I'm on Ultratoxic Rom v8.0.2 with Siyahkernel 2.6.9. still the same fault with Siyahkernel 2.6.11.

I have Siyah kernel 2.6.4 on stock XXKI3 (I know - I'm behind the times), and MHL works fine with Wi-Fi for me.
Sorry, I don't know anything about the Ultratoxic ROM. Looks like it's Samsung based (XWKK5) when I look at the thread I find when I search for it. Have you checked with any other users of this ROM?

The only thing I can suggest is to make a Nandroid backup of your current ROM, flash to a stock ROM, and see if it works with that. If it does, then something you have installed (maybe the ROM, but maybe some other app) is causing the behavior.

hey guys
i recently got a USB otg cable for my S2(GT-I9100) and while this cable fine works with pen drives it doesn't work with any USB Keyboards or Mice that i plug into it. every time i do plug a keyboard or mouse, the phone completely freezes and i need to do a restart to get it running again
I tried applying the fix mentioned here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209567)
but still no good
any help will be appreciated
(PS: i am running siyah kernel 2.6.12 along with android 2.3.6)
Same here Bro
Heyho XDA,
sorry for pushing this old Thread,
but i have exactly the same Problem
Everytime i plug in a USB keyboard or a mice,
the Phone freezes instantly -.-
My Setup is:
CheckRom Revo v6
Siyah Kernel v2.6.13
Original Samsung OTG cable
Anyone else having this issue?
Or maybe a fix ?
Same problem
I've got the same problem. Pendrives, memorycardreader and systemcamera works great, but no mouse and keyboard.
Tested the same setup on my friends Galaxy Note and it worked out of the box. But not on my phone.
Download
USB Host Controller from the Play Store , see if that works.

It seems that USB Host and USB OTG are two different things. It has to be supported in the kernel. And I did root my phone and derooted by changing the kernel. I didn't save my original kernel so I had to download a new one. So maybe my kernel doesn't support OTG anymore.
I'm gonna look closer into this and report back it I'm getting it to work.
Hi there is it possible that that someone could mess up a samsung galaxy s2 by flashing an incorrect rom to it?
I bought one second had and the phone chrges fine but always says device not recognised when plugged in via usb.
Thanks rob
Yes, of course. If you flash wrong, your phone can brick. Try to flash an original rom without mods, using Odin, and see how your phone behaves. If it's ok, with the USB connection working, then you flash a custom rom and can really expect it to be fully functional.
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum. I've got a Samsung i777 on android 2.3.6 kernel 2.6.35.7 build number gingerbread.uckk6
I've recently bought this phone off ebay
My phone does not get detected by windows 7 or Macbook. I've tried changing the USB flex cable with I9100 v2.3 but still no luck.
When I connect USB port it beeps and shows mtp-initialization/mtp-connected on the phone but it is not shown on windows. It says USB cannot recognise the device. I've got a s3 and ideos x3 both of them are detected.
I've installed kies 3 on my laptop.
I had to swtich off the wifi on the phone because it consumes a lot of battery, I think it is because of the android version I'm using!
I want to root the phone and unlock it!!
Any help is appreciated!

I'm guessing the problem is the Samsung drivers you have installed for the s3. Try uninstalling those and installing the correct drivers for s2.
Sent from my GT-p511x
you can check this thread for driver
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
You most likely need a new cable. Happened to me once! Could be the drivers but I HIGHLY recommend just trying a new USB cable.
Thank you guys for all your help really appreciate it!
I have tried all the steps mentioned above tried to uninstall all the previous drivers I had and installed the new driver as mentioned in the above link but no luck
I tried it on a friends computer with a different cable still it shows the USB device is not recognised!!

Did you install another ROM? It might help to Wipe system, Data, ETC! it appears to be a software problem. Or at least my guess is the ROM your using.
The Galaxy phones all use the same USB drivers whether it's an S2, S3, S4, etc., so if the installed drivers were working for your S3, it's unlikely to be a driver issue.
Can you boot it into download mode? If you happen to have a USB jig, that's the easiest. Otherwise, power off the phone, unplug the USB cable, hold Vol +/Vol-, then plug in the USB cable. It should go into ODIN download mode. See if Windows detects the phone that way. If so, it very well could be something weird with the OS installed (although it appears to be stock).
If you can get into download mode, you can flash a stock kernel to make sure you are starting fresh. A good file repository is found here. I recommend the stock UCKH7 image I777_UCKH7_OCD_No_BL.7z (you'll also get root).
And yes, the UCKK6 release had a serious bug related to the wifi that could drain your battery. Best to go with UCKH7.
You could also download an app that allows you to enter download mode.

I was able to boot to download mode by holding the vol +/- key and then plugging in the USB cable but there is no movement from the computer it doesn't make a sound nor does it detect. I tried restarting the phone then I get a notification on windows that USB device not recognised!
Yes I guess this rom is useless, if the wifi is switched on then battery would not even last 6 hrs!

Are you saying to get a balloon notification in the tray that says the USB device is not recognized? A possible reason for that is a faulty USB cable or USB port (funny enough, I actually got that message last night when I was playing around with my Captivate, and switching USB ports made it work). I know you said you've tried other computers an another USB cable, but that's about my only idea. Maybe there's some debris inside the connector that's messing up the connection.
When you say you changed the "USB flex cable", are you talking about the internal connector and board inside the phone? If so, perhaps the I777 connector board is actually a little different than the I9100 board and causing a compatibility issue.
The bug in UCKK6 related to wifi didn't affect everybody, but it definitely affected a lot of people (based upon reports here).

If you have an SD card, you can download another ROM on that SD card from your computer and then you can install custom recovery (CWM) and then install the ROM from SD card.

First ill run you through the problem I had. Just for reference did you use Mr. Cooks script before flashing Cyanogenmod 11? One of his scripts for cleaning before flashing, actually deletes a certain file, not to keen on which one. What it results in though is not being able to flash OF ROMS and some certain custom ROMS! So id recommend alliance's ROM! As for the "Getting the ROM on your device, you could put the ROM on your SD though recovery "Mount and storage/Mount mass storage/" or just use a micro sd card adapter and move it on there that way.
Thanks for your reply. Would you mind sending me the link on how to do that step by step as mentioned I'm new to Samsung phones and also this forum.

What state is your phone currently in? Is it still not detected by the computer? You are still on 2.3.6, correct?
If it's still not being detected by your computer, I'm not sure if you can flash anything needed using the stock recovery. I know that when I flashed stock JB, I was able to boot into stock recovery and directly apply the standard CWM update file here. It will give boot into a temporary CWM that should allow you to flash other ZIP files (like a ROM), although I had trouble doing that (so I ended up flashing the AJK_v4.9_NoSwap.zip kernel using the MobileOdin android app, which gave a permanent CWM recovery).
I'm not sure if this same process works with the 2.3.6 recovery. However, in order to get the stock recovery to see the internal SD card, I had to run adb shell commands to mount the partition (meaning I had to have a working connection from the computer).
Solved!!!
HI Guys,

Help me please, anyone can help me please? I need help seriously.
It's most likely a physical issue - a bad / dirty contact in USB connector.
Try cleaning with toothpick. Look up in Youtube, there might be a guide to how to do it without damaging anything. If cleaning doesn't help - try changing ROM, if it doesn't help - then USB connector likely needs replacement.

Thanks for reply, really sad case, i tried to clean usb and change the ROM previously, but both of this doesn't help, i think really need to replace the USB, but so weird that it can still charging.
common issue, I use linux and find I can still use ADB to push and pull files
I recently noticed that my wifi only z4 tab is missing the portable hotspot/tethering menu from the more... menu inside settings (it's completley gone not just disabled). I tried the fxp aosp rom and it has the options for tethering but nfc and screen rotation don't work on that rom + there is no recovery for it that i could find (androplus one wouldn't boot into recovery so i guess its just for the stock rom). Is this something nobody has on the z4 tab or is something wrong with my device (the option still wasn't there after reflashing a factory rom with flashtool)? Does anyone know a way to enable at least the USB tethering as i need that the most or is there a recovery that works with the fxp rom?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is becoming more and more annoying working with the small screen of a phone (i use the usb tethering to make the device act as a display for a Raspberry PI with VNC).
Afaik wireless tethering / portable hotspot is only possible with the LTE version. It's logical too, on your phone you can only wirelessly tether your data connection, not another WiFi network.
I don't know what exactly you want to do with USB tethering. Do note that you might need to use the 'detect USB' function for USB stuff to work. By default the USB port is not checking for attached devices, because of the waterproofness.

Ah okay... That's a shame... but thank you for telling me anyway, its the first device i have that had the option missing (2013 n7 WiFi only has it and its useful to connect the tab to a WiFi and tether with USB to a computer) so i didn't really know what to think of it Maybe any idea on how to get the androplus recovery or any custom recovery working with the fxp aosp rom? If there is a way I could at least flash gapps and supersu.

I can only guess based on what I've read, but I suggest checking the AndroPlus kernel thread or starting a new one with this specific question.
