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

Hi
I found the following cable in DealExtream:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/premiu...ble-for-samsung-p1000-black-134cm-cable-81876
AFAIK, Galaxy Tab 10.1 Connector is pin compatible to Galaxy Tab (7"),
do you think this cable will work also with Galaxy Tab 10.1?
99% chance of rain. Even though the 30pin connector will go into the unit. From my understanding, the only video out on the 10.1 is HDMI but no one yet knows how.
anyone tried this yet? Would be great to use with old CRT TV's!
According to the Samsung site its not compatible.
Here
Ordered this cable for my GT10.1 and received it yesterday, it doesn't work there's no video output.
But! There is audio output...
Yes you will get audio but no video. Only way to get video is hdmi adapter.

It's MHL. You need a MHL to HDMI chip. There are generic micro usb to hdmi ones you can buy then wire up to the pins in connector. Those cost $7.99 at cheapest and the connector is going to cost you $4.99 unless you gut an existing one and move the pins around
Have u try to connect it not in color code order... try it..

I have the samsung official Composite cable, and I can confirm that it is not compatible.
Hey guys just wondering if there is a way to get a third party MHL adapter to work with my SG3, maybe some type of mod or something. Thanks

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.

All the cords fit in perfectly with the adapter I have, just when I plug it into my TV nothing comes up.

I recommend buying the samsung stock mhl adapter made for the sgs3. It worked without a problem. I have one personally.

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.

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.
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
Hi,
I recently bought a note 8.0 and HDMI MHL adapter along with it. My MHL HDMI adapter was perfect till it stopped working one fine day. I don't think it is a wiring issue since the MHL adapter still charges my device but is not able to export the tab screen to TV.
Is this a bug ? I don't think I have installed any applications that should create any problems. Any clues on how to resolve this situation ? I have tried factory reset but still it is not working. Will hard reset be of any help ?
Regards,
Pushkar

Only MHL HDMI adaptors that are Compatible with the galaxy S3 or Note 2 will work with the Note 8.0.
The pins are Wired differently to MHL adaptors that work for other devices.

Check adapter with another Note, if you can, or perform factory reset on your. Charging ability is not relevant, this function uses direct pin-to-pin layout, while conversion to HDMI is done by chip (example here at bottom of page) inside adapter, so there is big possibility of failure of adapter.

Read carefully, he said works and stop work, so adapter IS compatible.

Thanx...I will check this adapter with some other device and see whether it is working or not. If it's working with some other device then I guess there is some bug in the device and I will try hard resetting it.

I know that this is an old thread, but someone might find this useful in the future.
I just had the same problem with my S3. The official MHL adaptor worked a few months ago. When I tried to use it today it charged my phone, but no HDMI output, even though the adaptor plugged snugly into the S3 with a click.
Solution: pocked fluff worked into the S3's USB connector and has steadily been pushed into the back on the connector by USB plugs. The fluff prevented the MHL connector form plugging in fully. I worked the fluff out with an xacto knife. After this the adaptor plugged in fully and HDMI worked again.
If you look into the connector on the phone then it must be deeper than an usual USB connector, and it should have two "terraces". If you only see one level(terrace) then the second level is blocked by fluff, which might be compacted into quite a hard surface.
