Hello everyone.
This has been driving me crazy all day long.
I tried connecting the HTC AC M500 MHL adapter with my rooted Jestream to a TV using all sorts of tutorials and how-tos online, but to no avail.
The charger I am using is the HTC 9V, 1.67A one that's used for the Flyer.
The only things I have not tried yet are restoring factory settings, and using the HDMI capble that came with the MHL adapter.
I have tried connecting it to a Samsung 42" TV (model unknown) using a PS3 cable up to now.
Will attempt on a Sony 46" TV using the HDMI cable that came with the adapter on Monday, but until then, I just have to know what I've been doing wrong all this time.
I've been looking through forums, articles and YouTube videos all day long. It's driving me crazy.
Anyone have any ideas?
UPDATE: tried it on a Sony TV using the HTC HDMI cable with the MHL adapter while charging. Rebooted twice. Still nothing.
2nd UPDATE: tried turning HDMI control off on the Samsung TV (HDMI CEC). Still nothing.
Can anyone guess if unrooting the device and restoring factory settings would fix this?
have you tried putting the stock kernel back on? might be an issue with the doom kernel if that is what you are using.

Thanks for replying!
No, but it's last on my list on things to try (that, along with the factory reset).
I will try using Airplane Mode ON, Media Sync ON as the default connection mode and USB Debugging OFF (I don't know why that's on my list, but there you go), before I try replacing the kernel.
Also, as far as the kernel's concerned: I checked on the kernel version and it seems to be the same as the stock kernel number and all. Was there an update on the doom kernel, or did I mess up the process and not install it properly?
Kernel version:
2.6.35.10-g01487c4
[email protected] #1
Well, I tried the above and still nothing. Kernel replacement's up next (assuming I don't have the stock one on already. Anyone care to confirm?), and factory reset as the last resort.
Could anyone tell me if I have the stock kernel installed?
Kernel version:
2.6.35.10-g01487c4
[email protected] #1
I am really inexperienced at this, and even though I tried flashing the Doom kernel when rooting, I don't know if I did it properly.
I've noticed in other threads that the Doom kernel is listed differently in the system settings.
I'd like to know if I do have to flash the stock kernel (unless I already have it) to test out the MHL adapter, which I still haven't managed getting it to work.
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

yes, i have the same kernel (stock jetstream), but instead g01487c4 i have g4612ecf
i can only advice you few things:
at-first, check mhl on other device to be sure it works
at-second, try to use 5v htc charger (i think it may cause problems with mhl)
at-last, try to buy cheap 5$ mhl on ebay or any chinese web-sites (i'm waiting for such thing now)

Thanks for replying! I had given up hope.
I'll see what I can try about checking the MHL on another device.
As for the second advice, I've tried both chargers. They seem to send power fine, but MHL doesn't work.
And as for the 3rd, yeah, I guess I could try that.
Q: can I use CWM to backup the system, change the kernel, and eventually change back using the CWM if the stock kernel doesn't work either? Or would I have to go through the process of changing the kernel again?
Thanks for all the advice!

cwm will backup hole system, so you can easily return to your backup from recovery
try stock rom or just stock kernel, if you are using custom kernel it may brings big changes to OS
i have received my 5 usd mhl and it works perfectly with stock kernel and doomlord kernel as well
but only one thing that killed me is that output resolution is just 720p
so, i have a question: what resolution does oem htc ext microusb mhl have?

when you connect it to the tv the resolution must appear in the corner.
it can be 720p, 720i, 1080p, 1080i

Ah, OK. I won't know till it actually connects, then. All I get now is "no signal".
Will know by the end of the week, hopefully.
Well, I changed back to the original kernel, and still there's no signal when connecting to the TV. A friend of mine has an HTC One X, so I'll test it on her phone when we next meet up.
If that doesn't work either, then I'll have to get another MHL adapter, but as you can tell from my really slow follow-up-ing on this, I kinda lost interest by now. :S
Could someone with working HDMI output through the MHL adapter paste the contents of their build.prop file here, please?

The setup is a simple "Plug n Play" solution using the HTC AC M500 12pin MHL HDMI Adaptor, with a standard Type-A HDMI cable. No power source was required.
Make sure the TV (I used a RCA 42"HDTV) is properly configured (i.e. Source > HDMI) to receive the signal.
In terms of the reception, the output was measured at HD 1080p with awesome HD Sound.

Hi,
the MHL HDMI output is very important for me. Does someone know if the new XXLPQ Roms support MHL?
regards
Andre
I just tried with mine, first time kernel panicked, I had siyah b06 kernel flashed.
I then flashed the stock kernel, tried kernel didn't panic however my TV just gave the following output: unsupported signal.
So my guess is NO.
However this could be that I have a faulty MHL cable though.
Can anyone verify this ?
I got nothing on my tv. Original cable, charge function works just fine though. I'm running XWLP2-CL258785 [email protected] #3. I don't get it. I even tried it with 2.3.6, no result either. I'm pretty pissed.
I just want to hook it up to my tv and use a BT Mouse as a controller (mouse doesn't work properly eiter). Thinks this firmware is not so good as i thought.
I will try it with a friends phone (HTC Sensation XE) later this week just to be shure. If i don't get any image eiter maybe the cable is broken.
I doubt that your cable and mine are faulty what are the odds ?
Anyways let me know when you try on your friend's sensation.

hi guys,
after abit of help. i bought a hdmi adaptor, from amazon this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007K8NNOA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
so that i would be able to play content from my phone straight through to my tv. I also bought a new hdmi lead and i connected using the phone charger and lead that came with the phone.
When i plug it all together it shows on the phone that hdmi out is connected and i can display video or photos on the external device. But no matter what i do i cannot get a picture to display on the tv.
Am i doing something wrong? Or does it never work? I tried rebooting the phone i tested the hdmi lead to make sure it works. Is there another option on the phone i need to select to i need to use a different app?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Are you on the stock rom/kernel? I can't say I use this feature as much as I thought I would, but I have noticed some kernels break this feature (though I can't say which ones anymore - been a while) and I've seen some roms break this as well. I don't know if this was a placebo or what, but I also noticed that it broke for me after removing some of Sprint's or HTC's bloatware... I think it was the transfer app, but it doesn't make much sense to me why.
I'd try it on a full stock rom/kernel first to make sure it's not software related. Then try it on multiple TVs. I actually had an experience once where it wouldn't display on my TV, but worked fine on my HDMI enabled pc monitor - same symptoms you're describing. Tried different kernel, all was better. But I've also read about people just having a bad mhl adapter or bad hdmi cable too.
As above it needs to be supported by rom and kernal. Try a stock configuration and see what happens. If that fails it might be a faulty adaptor, these cheap ones are known to fail easily.
i appreciate your guys help. i am on stock rom/kernal. my tv is pretty new. The phone is showing as having a hdmi connection so wasn't sure if it could still be the adaptor? i will try it on another tv at the weekend. if it still doesn't work maybe send the adaptor back?
so it should display whilst playing a film through the stock video player? i dont need to use a special programme or anything else?
It automatically displays whatever is on the phone's screen. No need for anything special beyond plugging it in. It could still be a faulty adapter even though the phone shows hdmi.
Another idea might be to double check your tv out settings on the phone. Make sure those are correct.

I can't remember exactly. It's in the phone settings. I'm on the ice cream sandwich leak so I think it's a little different.

ive looked everywhere in the phone settings and cannot find it. also i read through the manual and must be really dumb as i cannot see anything in there about it either.
@ scariola thanks i tried your suggestion as well.
i would be really interested to hear if anyone ever got this to work?
You have to have it plugged into the wall outlet as well. Just a thought
just an update guys i tried it on an oldish portable tv and it worked? so no idea why it doesn't work here at home???
still thanks for all the help.
Hi guys, I got an oem MHL to hdmi cable from eBay, one specifically for the galaxy s3.
I received it today and while the phone seems to detect it's attached to a screen (audio set to hdmi out, landscape mode), the two devices I can connect it to both register nothing connected.
Is there something missing? The first device is a monitor using a hdmi to dvi adapter, the second is a 720p tv with hdmi in. The tv allows me to select the hdmi it's plugged into but says there's no signal.
Does anyone have any ideas?

maybe the adapter does not work with the S3 after all.
Maybe you will find some solution in the accessories threat or here
Can you post up the link to the advert you bought it from?

Thanks. I think it should work, the item description is pretty clear.. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?itemId=200829302467
I might see if I can test it on some more tvs. There was a suggestion it may not work with a 720p device.
Sad thing is, they're all Samsung screens.
Are you powering the device from another USB port.
All MHL adapters and cables for the Galaxy S2/3 need to be powered by an external USB port.

Ok it looks like it might be an issue with the ROM, using an AOKP build of JB 4.1.2
Apparently it doesn't support the TV out - shame, I thought I'd finally found the ROM I was going to stick with
Does anyone know a way of getting it working under AOKP?
sorry man, but only on stock roms you can use tv-out. At least for now, lets hope the sources promised for november include mhl tv-out propietary driver from samsung.

Thanks man - I might go to omega's stock-based rom and see if I can get any love with that. Cheers for the help everyone
Edit: For anyone finding this by search later, using a stock ROM does fix the issue. God I can't wait to go back to AOKP though, stock is terrible
I gotta bring this up again... i had same issues when i was on aokp roms. But now.. 4 samsung roms and numerous kernels later i cant get the MHL to work!

If you get the cheap ones there's a huge chance of it not working just from looking through feedback on the Internet. Just spend a bit extra and get a samsung one.
Ive tried mine on many different roms and kernels and it always works.
P.s has anyone managed to get netflix in 16.9 widescreen using the mhl adaptor on jelly bean?:crying:
It's the samsungs 1, that i bought from my carrier. And adapter is fine since my friend got it work with note 2 :/

My hdmi port isn't working anymore and google tells me its a motherboard issue and that I should send it in,
however I am rooted with cm10. Should I unroot and flash stock before I sent it in?

That's what i thought of first (even though it would've been weird for it to just stop working), so I tried another rom but it still didn't work.
When I plug it in, I no longer get the hdmi notification also the cable feels loose in the port.
Just wanted to know if I should unroot and stuff for the rma (if it goes through).
Try flashing different rom
Edit: you just answered it. If you are u locked you'll probably have to pay for the repair...

i had same issue, but the fault was with the micro-hdmi to hdmi adapter...
try another adapter or a direct cable, before you RMA or before you install new rom
I've tried a few different things for my s-off E4G LTE, but I can't figure out how to get mhl working with full mirroring, anyone have any luck with this?
I've tried Meanbean 3.09, works sometimes, but only the status bar is visible.Works fully when playing a video from gallery/youtube. When it doesn't work I get a black output to the tv, and digital looking non-responsiveness from the phones screen, usually followed by a power cycle to get it working again. I have gotten the phones screen to show up normal after a few presses of the power button, but it still didn't mirror to the TV correctly.
Recently, I tried using ViperRom 3.1.7, but alas the same exact situation, digital looking feedback on the touch screen, and blue output to the TV only showing the status bar.
I tried flashing other kernels while using both roms, and they didn't fix anything. If you have it working, what combinations of roms/kernels are you using?
Also the adapter is fine, I've used it with an s2 to achieve full mirroring, and I have been able to play videos full screen to the TV with this phone, once.
Thanks for your time.
