Bought The Official Samsung HDMI Adapter, 2x HDMI Adapters From The SGS2 I Had & The 11 To 5 Pin Adapter For My Note 2. The Official HDMI Adapter From Samsung Worked Fine But Doesn't Work Anymore The Other Two Work Just Fine For My Phone The Only Problem Is They Require That Stupid 11-5 Pin Adapter And I Have A Otterbox Which Is A Pain To Keep Taking Off. I Heard Somewhere On The Threads The Official HDMI Adapter Doesn't Work Because My Device Is Modified. Is There A Way To Get The Samsung Adapter To Work ? Without Unrooting Or Reflashing. I Am On Stock Pre-Rooted Rom

I have both a genuine Samsung MHL adapter and the S2 mhl adapter with the 5pin to 11pin converter and I've seen both of these work on other phones.
However, I can't get my video out working on my S3. Both of them connect and bring up active charge and indicate onscreen that "HDMI cable connected". So I know the adapter and cable is being detected but no signal on HDTV. The HDMI cable is good as is TV and monitor I tested on and of course proper input is selected.
Now as far as I remember as soon as it is plugged in the video should automatically show up on HDTV screen...correct? No TV out setting has to be turned on as in past Galaxy correct?
Fyi..I have multiple S3's but currently only have one on hand...its a 747m with KyanROM on it... so not stock..it is rooted and has KT747 9-18 kernel as well.
I have a feeling its the rom(and I could easily test this if I had other phones but don't for a while).
So if both MHL adapters are confirmed working and both the HDMI cable and TV are working AND even the phone states that HDMI cable connected, then what is the issue with no video display?

Do you have the power plugged in? That is, a AC/DC charger to micro-USB cable plugged in to the micro-USB port on the adapter.
Should work automatically
I just received the Min-Suit 11-pin adapter sold on Amazon. Mine switches on automatically as soon as I plug in the adapter. Of course, to make it work, you should first plug a charging cable into the USB micro port on the adapter and you should connect an HDMI cable to the tv. Also, make sure you're selected the correct HDMI input on the tv. If you do all of that, the picture and sound should start up as soon as you plug in the cable.
Unless it was a mistake, your OP says you have s2 adapter. From my understanding, the pins are different on the s3 and will not work with the older adapters.
If you read closer Woody you will see that he says that he uses an old MHL adapter, WITH the 5 to 11 pin adapter
That should work. But I think your ROM is the guilty one...

Dont give up yet, I thought I had the same problem, but my ballistic case was preventing the MHL adapter from going all the way in. I took the phone out of the case and the adapter clicked in. Worked great on the TV, but best of all, worked in the truck via a down converter. Had to play with it to get in deep enough (kind of phone foreplay i guess:laugh to work, but it does.
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

You didnt make it clear.
Re read what you typed.
Samsung 11 to 4 pin adapter
I said 5 pin I thought you used some aftermarket adapter that was missing a pin.
Might want to edit your main post.
Im guessing ingenious247 didnt catch that either.

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.
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.

@foxmeister
in this kit there is 5 to 11 pin adapter that is required for s3 and note 2, so this adapter should work (with adapter and charger connected)
find a friend with S3 or another note2 to test it...
Well.... hi everyone
It's been a long time since i wrote in english xD... so sry if I make any mistake.
The problem:
I got a HDTV MHL adapter... It is original and its for s3 as far as i know it should work for the note 2... i tried tons of times to connect my GT- N7100 to my smartv and didnt work, then tried on a 3d Bravia and nothing... Yes, I connected the adapter to the power - HDMI - Device and the note starts to charge but no msj is shown... also i tried the HDMI cable with my laptop and runs perfect.
Too late but I started to read a little about any issue about it and find out it might be an issue with the root... rooted phones doesnt run mhl properly and before i run the unroot and loose all those things that didnt cost me anything but time i want to be sure
So 1st I want to know if theres any rooted person with the mhl hdtv working
Or any rooted user has found a way to make it work
Thank you very very very much
Hi there,
I have a rooted n7100 and using an MHL adapter and it works fine.
I tried several MHL adapter and this is the only adapter to work as far as i know
http://www.amazon.com/Skiva-Samsung...TF8&qid=1372308885&sr=8-1&keywords=mhl+note+2
I have used XNote Rom, Moon Rom, ARHD Rom and they all work
does your adapter have the mini cable that is specifically for the note 2?
When i plug in the cable it shows on my phone "HDMI Output" or something like that.
I know what your saying that the phone charges, it just means that the cable you are using is not for the note 2
I am rooted and use my MHL adapter all the time...no issues. I am running a stock rom.
I'm having problem with my 8.4. It is rooted on stock.
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.
carefully check connector pin count

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
