I have an AT&T Galaxy S3 running stock 4.1.2 rooted & CWM recovery. I have an MHL adapter, but it's cuts out, or shows multicolored snow quite a bit. As you may know, CM doesn't support MHL on the S3, so reverted to stock and the adapter seemed to work fine until I rooted the phone, then it started cutting out/snowing a lot.
Someone seemed to have the same issue, but one one replied. droidforums.net/forum/android-hacks-help/233660-s3-mhl-hdmi-adapter-question.html (sorry it's not a link)
Anyone have any similar issues/solutions?
Was CM10.2 before the MHL adapter, but downgraded to 4.1.2, made the mistake of updating to stock 4.3 (CFautoroot didn't work and stupid KNOX) but was able to downgrade back to 4.1.2.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello,
This is going to come off as noob-ish:
How can I flash a 4.3 TW-based ROM onto my rooted Canadian (Bell) Note 2?
I was running CeanROM5 for a while, flashed SlimKat 4.4 last weekend but I'd like to go back to TW.
I'm usually pretty familiar with rooting and flashing ROMs (Desire Z, Note 10.1, Nexus 7...etc.), but I've read too many horror stories of people loosing their modems, IMEI going wrong...etc. with the Note 2, especially since there's a few variations of the device, so I want to be careful.
I was going to flash the stock firmware from Sammobile via Kies but my phone is being detected as a i317 and not a i317m and I'm wondering if that's a problem? (I know I could use ODIN, but again, I'm worried about screwing up the modem with what little I know right now) I was then going to use CF-Auto-Root (as I'm sure I'll lose root) to clean things up.
TL;DR I've got a Canadian (Bell) Note 2 running SlimKat, how to get onto a TW-based 4.3 rom without screwing anything up?
Thanks guys!
So, after waiting hours for the stock 4.3 firmware to download from Sammobile - it was corrupt, so I'm re-downloading, therefore I can't flash via odin just yet (apparently I still have another 2 hours on this download).
Kies won't recognize my phone either (I suspect this might be due to the whole i317 vs i317m thing?). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies on my PC, using different USB ports, and rebooting my phone...etc.
Again, any help would be super appreciated! Thanks!
Alright, so I'm running 4.3 and everything is working (wifi, modem...etc) but I can access superSU.
I used CF-Auto Root and it looked like it flashed the stock recovery. I have superSU installed but I can only open (not uninstall) it from the Play Store.
However, every time I do try to open it I get the pop up window "unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped".
So what am I doing wrong?
I guess this thread can be deleted as I seem to have sorted things out.
Philz recovery is very nice BTW.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 SGH-I747 from ATT. I rooted and CWM. I installed a few roms and everything was going ok. I installed the GRIEVOUS rom and I could not charge the phone. I tried from my laptop and from the wall and from the car. Still nothing. I reverted back to Omni and it charges fine. Is there something I can do to make it charge? I really like GRIEVOUS rom.
Hi everyone,
i have s3 i747 at&t.
after upgrading to StockMOD ROM 4.3 rls 2.1 (from rls2) my speaker started to make crackling sounds and sometimes even very low siren sounds. so i tried to go back to rls2 but it doesn't help - the sounds continued, so i decided to go back to stock and now not the camera flash or the speaker working.
can some one help me?
here is some things i also tried:
1. to put the speaker in another phone and it worked perfectly.
2. the aux (headphone connection) works perfectly.
3. to install a new speaker in the phone and it won't work.
4. factory reset.
can some one please give some ideas about what might be the problem?
thanks

Hi!
I've been trying to root and flash Cyanogen 12 to my unlocked Fido S4 i337M (Canadian) to no avail.
I'm coming from a Nexus phone, and jumped right in assuming it would be just as easy with Samsung as with my Nexus, thought I could use a toolkit like Wugs NRT.
I was wrong. I finally got my phone rooted, Cyanogen flashed, but then I couldn't play any media, no music, browser crashed when YouTube was used, and I had no service most of the time, all sorts of crap, so I decided to go back to stock and figure this out later.
Things really aren't in my favour. Using Odin, I flashed the Rogers stock ROM from here: http://www.androidrootz.com/p/galaxy-s4-stock-firmwares.html?m=1
The wifi won't turn on, the switch goes over to on and flips right back, so I tried the Bell one, still no luck.
Can anyone help me? What's going on?
The problem you seem to have is that the stock firmware you've flashed probably won't be the right one, your modem part of the firmware will be different than the one you need.
Look for another firmware or next time when flashing anything make sure it excludes the modem part
Bought a new SanDisk Ultra Dual usb 32gb for my S3. Both SanDisk and Samsung agree that it is OTG compatible. But when i plug the usb on my phone, nothing shows. I've tested on several HTC phones and even a Galaxy S5 and it works there but not on my S3.
Phone is rooted running on stock 4.4.4 kitkat rom.
OTG is not working at all in all roms kk 4.4.4 I've tried. Anyway, I think in based samsung roms, it doesn't work either...
OTG comes with the official samsung stock rom, and it deppends on the kernel, you could search for an alternative kernel for samsung based or aosp based roms, but I think you will find under 4.4.4 version.
I picked up a 16GB SanDisk Dual about a month ago. At the time my i747 was on a custom TW rom based on Android 4.3 with the MJ2 bootloader and MJB modem. The drive worked well on that ROM. It also worked well on my Acer 4.4.x tablet. I have since upgraded the phone to the NE4 bootloader and modem and installed CM11 and the drive still works over OTG. In fact I have used in on the phone, tablet, and a linux laptop in the past 24 hours.
Me too, but i fixed it.
1. Download from play store "USB OTG checker", its icon is a USB logo with a green tick on it. Open it and it should show 1 or 2 red X:
If yes, click on fix, give su permission and reboot.
If no, go to next step.
2. If it doesn't work with the fix it's a hardware problem (I had it too).
Cut a piece of paper/plastic sheet (better) and slide it under the USB port contact. Try to plug in your OTG and... Voilà! It should work!
If it doesn't reply or send PM, I could help you maybe.
(Can you check my thread on the Samsung TV mirroring? I need help there [emoji14] )
