I have been trying to set it up with first a generic 11 pin adapter and then the Samsung 11 to 5 pin adapter with an earlier HML adapter that worked with my HTC Amaze.
The generic one worked OK initially, and then started either not connecting or doing so without audio. Tried the Samsung plug adapter with old the HML, but no response at all. Am on [Mixed Base v29] XquiziT xD. The earlier brief success was with an earlier version of that ROM.
I am reluctant to order the Samsung OEM 11 pin, but am also worried the initial 11 pin may have zonked the connection - but don't know if that is at all likely. Am looking for others experiences with these adapters and any suggestions on a route to take at this point.
I think I remember seeing something about previous versions of the cable not working with the S3. Something about some pins being switched. So I think you have to get specifically an S3 cable.

If you have an older GS2 MHL adapter it was a 5- PIN adapter not the GS3 11-PIN adapter.
You will need this converter tool in order for older MHL adapters to work on your GS3.

If I did not make it clear - that is what I have that did not work either = as well as a generic 11 pin adapter. I am wondering is the tool ONLY works with Samsung's OEM original 5 pin adapter (although that should not be the case).

No, you were absolutely clear. People just don't read before they respond.. (silly)
I have the same set up as you. I have the adapter and I too experience issues. At first it works just fine, then it freezes after a few minutes. I only tried it twice on the day I got the 11 pin adapter, so who knows maybe it will work fine.
Will try again tonight and post back. I'm on CM10 now so we'll see if that makes a difference (don't see why it should, but you never know.. TW can be so glitchy sometimes)
Mine works fine I have a generic hml to hdmi cable that I got at a t mobile store and I bought a Samsung 11 pin converter my rom is cyanogenmod 10 nighty

I did, just figured it was a typo. Since I have the same adapter I knew what he meant
I am going to see if it (the 5-11 pin connector) works on stock LJ4 leak. I still wish I could be sure if I have a hardware or software issue.
Update It did not work, so I tried a Samsung 11 PIN adapter. Still no luck until i read their instruction to use the Samsung charging adapter and cable to power it 0 THEN IT WORKED !!!!
I am going to try again with the HML 5 pin HM and 11 pin adapter with the Samsung charger and see if it also works. Will also post results - it is a cheaper fix if it does.
Per previous post, I tried the Samsung 5 PIN to 11 PIN adapter in conjunction with a generic (Amazon) MHL adapter.
This had not worked previously. But after finding it needed to use the OEM Samsung USB cable to power an 11 PIN MHL Samsung adapter, I tried the power cord with the above and now it also works. Therefore, I can return the more expensive Samsung 11 PIN MHL (was $35 from Amazon but can be had directly from Samsung for $20 with a promo code) - lol.
I wish I could change the thread title to say HDMI now works.

so, anyone taken apart an MHL adapter yet?
i have a sneaking suspicion, that the move to an 11 pin is what will allow BOTH OTG, and MHL at the same time, but i could be wrong.
look inside your USB port on the bottom of the S3...
whatya see?
the normal 5 pins on the USB part.. but what is that in back wall? THE OTHER 6 PINS!
yep, that is why you cannot plug the MHL adapter into a hub or anything.. there is 6 pins are missing.
Now, i am wondering:
has anyone taken it apart to see if the 6 pins are used alone, or if it uses the the USB also?
if it uses only the 6 pins for MHL-ness, then it should more than possible to make an OTG/MHL adapter/dock.
more thought says, if my theory is right, an 11 pin to 5 pin conveter may be the key.. and an otg can be spliced in to give 2 outputs: MHL in one (using an s2 MHL adapter) and OTG in the other.....
anyone wanna tear their adapter up? or are you guys gonna make me spend some money?
I ran across this post looking to see if anyone has done this yet. I am going to try to grab the 5 to 11 tomorrow and tear it apart (since it's the cheaper adapter). My plan was to rip it apart and if the original 5 pins are available, splice just as you mentioned.
I can't find a decent picture of the microUSB plug to see if all pins are there.
Also I found this:
http://homixtech.en.alibaba.com/pro...Galaxy_S3_11pin_To_Micro_USB_5pin_Gender.html
Which makes me think 11 pin microUSB plugs that work are available out there somewhere.

meh, I think that is wrong. many people have done exactly what it says you can do, and it doesn't work.
Makes me wonder if the boys at Samsung made a press mistake. If indeed you can't use both with the correct cable, then why make a port with 11 pins? Seems a waste of resources to me.

I have never seen anything from samsung saying that MHL and OTG was possible.. just speculation in websites.
It better be possible because if not all Samsung's managed to do is make us buy hugely overpriced new MHL cables when they could have kept the old type, but I guess Samsung's made some decent money giving people no option but to buy £30 MHL cables.
I hope Monoprice really is working on a cable. 35-40 USD is more than I want to pay, especially if I get a couple and/or an HDMI dock.

It's not possible I think.
You can use an MHL enabled tv wich powers MHL, (so you don't need the adapter) but how do you want to split that?
You can split the cables from the samsung adapter, so you have the MHL ones(6) and the usb ones(5).
But what then?
You need to connect the MHL ones to an hdmi cable, and connect it with an MHL enabled tv. And the usb ones to an usb port for OTG.
But will that even work with this S3?, because it is designed to get power from your charger via the extra usb port on the adapter.
Maybe it only works with the adapter, and not even with an MHl enabled tv...
I think somebody needs to connect the S3 to an MHL enabled tv, if that works you can modify the adapter and use the usb as OTG.

I found (and shared) the MHL value, and we already know the OTG value.. but it only seems logical there is ANOTHER value to activate both at the same time. we are postulating, the the reasoning behind the 11 pin, is to allow both. If adding just an OTG cable turned on MHL too, it would cause issues without an MHL connection. and the same with MHL activating OTG, without an OTG device connected. like i said, this is postulation at the moment, but there SHOULD be a thrid value to enable both at the same time. that value would be used by a future peice of hardware that does a whole "PC MODE".
and if it does not exist, it CAN be done, we just need more "stuff" a way to enable a special switch if you will.
some people are saying you can connect straight to an MHL enabled TV, but that has not been done yet (and since there are no 11 pin MHL cables, that are not adapters, it seem unlikell that anyone will until said cable exists. the S3 cannot send MHL signal over the usb part, it has to be either the extra 6 pins, or with the 11 to 5 pin adapter.)
essentially, the pins are there, and with some special software, or a hidden resistor value as to yet, unfound, and some custom hardware (as of now NOTHING 11 pin, has 11 pins in it) it SHOULD be possible.
but there is nothing that has been found (hardware wise) that is even modifyable to work.... yet.
What I don't understand, why does MHL only work with the power connected?
They could easily make an MHL cable with the 11 pin, and hdmi. That should work for only MHL.
Only no go I can think is that MHL drains your battery because of always having your screen on, and the MHL output.
So they decided to use the adapter with power, otherwise you can't use MHL feature very long before your battery is empty
I think inside the adapter they only use the pins for giving power, and not the full 5 pin support for OTG, and therefore OTG doesn't work when you want to connect something.
Inside the ROM they have maybe build in something that MHL will only work when power is connected.
Maybe the solution is very simple,modify the adapter so full 5 pins are connected.

Hey there, i have tried gathering information about this subject and it seems all threads always lead to this announcement:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/29/galaxy-s-iii-new-mhl-connector-also-enables-usb-on-go/
Short: Samsung have changed to an 11 Pin-out to enable USB OTG and MHL Hdmi out at the same time. I purchased an original HDTV Adapter (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) which as far as i can reliably count indeed has about 11 connectors inside the USB connector that goes into the phone.
Now, i can get HDMI out just fine, but ONLY when i also connect the MHL adapter to a power source (a PC USB Port will do fine), however i have also read, that the phone is able to power the MHL adapter itself but obviously would not be charged then (no surprises there). This does not work however.
Further, connecting a USB OTG cable to the micro usb port on the MHL adapter does nothing. No notification and no devices connecting. No power either, since the LED on my USB Hub does not light up as it should. Connecting any devices to the hub does nothing to change that situation. If i leave out the MHL adapter and connect the USB OTG cable directly to the phone, everything works perfectly. I have tried this with 2 different OTG cables so they are not the problem.
This is an original genuine HDTV Adapter for our phones, which according to that post should be working fine with USB OTG.
AFAIK, this topic --does-- come up more frequently now as i can find a few more discussions about it, albeit none really helpful:

That wiki entry is the most interesting link as it definitely states that using MHL and USB OTG simultaneously is possible and is also the reason why the 5 pin layout was changed to an 11 Pin layout.
Looking forward to reading your replies!

I'm sorry, i must have gotten that wrong. I find it very confusing Samsung do no release enough information on this in order to make it work. Neither the phone documentation, nor the official 11-Pin HDTV Adapter manual mention this in any way.
I'm waiting also for a dock with MHL+USB OTG at the same time by Samsung, I dont understand why the official MHL adapter does not support this already but I've been searching and I have not found yet any example of both working together. It clearly seems that the MHL 11 pins cable we can buy right now does not support this since nobody has tested it succesfully but what I don't know is if that is related to Hardware or it also has something to do with software. I read a couple of weeks ago that Google was thinking about using the phone as a PC via docking, I think the idea comes from Motorola? So maybe the availability of both connections at the same time is also related with android, who knows, maybe in JB it will be possible...Has somebody tested MHL+USB OTG in JB with the official adapter?

It comes with the latest stock kernel and appearently won't boot with anything else so Samsung must have made some changes to it. In a few hours time I'll be back with information on how that worked out.
I can confirm it NOT working on Jelly Bean. The MHL adapter does provide video HDMI output, but only as long as it is plugged into an external power source. When connecting an OTG usb cable, there is no reaction at all. There has to be some way of getting the phone to power the HDMI adapter. Do any of you folks have a good link to a kernel dev who can have a look into this? There has to be a MHL modul for the USB driver. Ghokanmoral probably has more insight into this...
Summary: USB OTG and MHL work fine separately, but not simultanously on JB using a standard genuine Samsung EPL-3FHUBEGSTD adaptor.

I don't really know how this is accomplished with the dock, but if it works with the dock, I have to think that the same technique could be used to make it work with other adapters, too. If it's a matter of putting a voltage or a resistance across two pins, that would not be a big deal to do.
It was figured out in the thread that this was split off of.
we already found the resistor value to do it, the wiring.. everything.
Anyone try...
Anyone try a usb Y cable which will inject power over a USB and still allow for a separate device to be attached? I would post a link but i'm noob here. You can find it as "UTStarcom USB Adapter Y Cable"
The HDMI part of the split HAS to be powered...but the USB OTG does not. So...if there was such thing as an 11 pin micro usb Y splitter, then the OTG side would work while the powered MHL adapter was on. Essentially this is what the dock does.
Is it possible to create an 11 pin Y splitter? Someone needs to get one of those docks and tear it apart to see how the leads are split...lol

As I recall, the S3 uses an 11 pin MHL adapter and most others are 7(?) pins. Samsung makes an 11 to 7 pin adapter for about $10. I got it and it works.

I recommend buying the samsung stock mhl adapter made for the sgs3. It worked without a problem. I have one personally.
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
Well the brand name Samsung adapter is best and made for S3 but $40-$50...
The other option that works is using the mhl adapter that was for the S2 and other phones. Can buy for $10 AND also need the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter to use it on S3. Can get that for about $10 too. I did this option and works great. Both parts are generic but no probs. As mentioned in the earlier posts an adapter is needed but wasn't 7 pin... its 5 to 11.

Well, I bought this using the 50% discount code that was floating around for weeks on this forum:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-EIA2BEGSTA
I connected the HDMI cable to the TV and to the adapter, connected the OEM wall charger to the adapter and then the adapter to the Note 2. Nada. Nothing happened on my TV when I switched to the correct HDMI port (I have a Sony 3D TV so I thing it should support whatever that adapter requires).
I tried it without the 5 to 11 pin converter as I thought my phone uses an 5 pin USB (the tip looks like my charger).... Nothing. Then tried it with the adapter... Nothing...
On a previous tablet I had I had to enable "Display Out" in Settings. But I don't see any settings related to that under "Display" or "Accessories" on my phone.
Any ideers?

I suspect you have the wrong MHL adaptor.
The one you've linked to days it works with multiple smartphones, but as of the S3, Samsung changed the pin out of the MicroUSB port so existing MHL adaptors don't work with the S3 or the Note 2.
You need one that specifically says S3 or Note 2.

I can't get MHL to work, I tested the cable on my SII and it works fine. I don't know what's wrong with it.

From pictures on Ebay the charge+ port on the S2 has 7 pins in line. For sure, the microUSB port on the 8.4 has one row of 5 plus another row of 6. Thats 11 pins. The plug might fit in the hole, but it ain't goin' work.
There are a couple HDMI adapters for the 8.4 that do work fine. See the thead under accessories.
MHL cable layout changed from the Galaxy S3 onwards. The cable I bought after the change has worked on all my Samsung devices since. They are cheap as chips on ebay.
11 pin adapter
I have the newer MHl to HDMI along with 11 pin adapter and still MHL not working
