As would I, and a lot of others I suspect.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mmeidl78:
But you've got 16 GB memory and can copy your stuff to the memory and watch it later via MHL on your Flat? So this is not a big problem, I think :-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hakkinenvthh:
Yes, but 16Gb of FAT32 and you can't copy a file > 4Gb :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chizzwhizz:
I would use allshare to stream the movie or whatever to your phone from a laptop and connect the phone to TV via the MHL HDMI adapter...that way you have access to ur laptop's data without being hardwired to it
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hakkinenvthh:
Yes, it helps only if your laptop can't play smoothly a HD video :D

Has anyone got a generic MHL cable to work with the galaxy s 2 yet?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Not that I'm aware of...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dglaboi:
I bought one from Ebay and can't really do anything good with it. Display shows briefly for 3-4 seconds on TV then disappears again. Don't know why.....I hope it's not the device itself because I tested 2 phones, they were bought at the same time, but none of them would work correctly....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bloodrainer:
If by generic you mean a not samsung one or one not dedicated to the SGS2 then i actually use a one, from ebay or someting like that, everything works perfect you just cant forget to plug power to it, and about the not working one, it seems mine gets jammed by gsm signal (i.e. when receiving a call), so from time to time the image disappears in a blink of noise, maybe that is your problem too, try it in airplane mode.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Oh, I think I misread that question - I have actually used a generic one with my SGSII (a prototype from the MHL consortium) and it worked fine!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erebocln:
No, you can't, when the MHL is connected, the WiFi stops working, I regret not having bought the Optimus 2x
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Uhm no. I've been streaming with WIFI through MHL no problem for MONTHS. Using the Original Samsung MHL connector of course.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dglaboi:
I have to put mine in offline mode to be able to use the MHL adapter.....

As for USB-OTG no luck yet.....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doublehp:
On Amazon, Ebay, DealExtrem ... you will find adapters that can do 3 things at a time:

- output HDMI

- let phone work as usb host, so that you can plug kbd, mouse, and external HDD (second wifi card, wired ethernet ...); once you have the usb A plug, just pub a hub

- recharge the phone (what is not possible with the legacy short OTG cable).

+ read memory cards

Such devices are sold as MHL devices. Some MHL devices don't to all that.

Take care. MHLv2 is more complex than MHLv1.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] felix_w:
Could you post a link as an example for such a device, that works properly (if you've tested, or you know it works) ?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doublehp:
I can post links, but ... I have not tested any of those. And don't know any one personally who tested it.

Monobloc:

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Micro-USB-Ho..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item258600844e

I don't like the monobloc version; I fear it's too heavy, and may help breaking the phone plug.

There are all sorts of OTG and MHL cables. I have seen OTG dongles as short as 4cm (monobloc), with small cable (8cm: 4-8€), with long cable (1.5m .... should be 7 feet), pure HDMI (passive cable, no card reader, 8-12€), VGA (including very cheap HDMI to VGA converter, 20-30€ ... including sound output). In some case, you need to buy accessories (extra power supply, extra uUSB cable, extra HDMI cable). Also seen a very cute hybrid card reader: http://dx.com/p/285865 (I love this product design, and I love this URL syntax :D )

Don't forget that there can be mistakes in item description.

Here I have described how to build an external battery:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54036759&postcount=17

On previous phone, I just soldered additional battery to internal one; on my new phone, I will do something more complex, and more flexible.

Loosing power via OTG/MHL is not a fatality. Most phone have an other hidden power input:

généric, that uses the USB plug:

http://www.dx.com/p/reverse-qi-wire...arger-receiver-for-micro-usb-cellphone-312805

TRIPLE CHECK POLARITY; I took the wrong one; have to fold the cable.

So ... even if your OTG/MHL module takes power from your USB, and can not recharge your phone, the specific shell can charge your phone the other way :) So, you need to build an internal specific module:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK7PRJ4SiK0

S2 specific back shell, so called receiver:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2013-newest-wireless-charger-for-samsung-galaxy-s2/1266101036.html

http://www.exportprive.com/en/batte...reless-charger-set-for-samsung-galaxy-s2.html

http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/QI-Wireless-Charger-for-Samsung-Galaxy_821969998.html?s=p

The SGS2 is not designed to accept wireless chargers, so, you have two options:

- solder and take the pins out (cf youtube) (do not solder coild to battery, or you could overcharge the batt, and burn your phone ... I mean, physically set fire)

- find an item that includes back shell + specific battery (exportprive)

Many recent phones have the internal connectors, so you just need to change the back-cover. In this case, the software will be able to know the charger is wireless (as opposed to AC, and USB; advanced battery tools will show those 3 possibilities). I believe the motherboard for my HTC One M8 is designed to have those pins, but I can't find the specific cover yet (maybe in a few months); only found it for M7.

I've just taken the plunge and installed my first custom ROM (Infin1ty, definitely worth a look) and took a Nandroid backup of my stock image.

Is there any way for me to check that the nandroid backup will work before I use it?

If not, as a last resort, could I flash the full 2.3.4 update? I have a i9023.

From other threads I have seen, it appears that I can copy any backups I have to my PC and they should be OK as long as I don't put spaces in the names.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikika87:

Try the app, Android File Verifier. I can't post a link since I'm new to XDA.

[Nexus S General] Ingeminiac:
I'm following the [GUIDE] Step by Step ROOT Nexus S via ClockworkMod Recovery image (i9023 and i9020A) but I get stuck after step 13, I don't see any "android bootloader interface" so I can't select it.

Also the icon for "Android 1.0" on my device manager window has a yellow/black exclamation mark. Though I should mention that.

What do I do now?
[Nexus S General] ikika87:
Try This

I believe the yellow exclamation mark is to alert you that the driver is not working/installed properly. After clicking "Let me pick...", do you see a button marked "Have Disk..."? If so, click that, click browse and go to where you downloaded the google usb drivers and select "android_winusb.inf".

Hope that helps.
[Nexus S General] sticksun:
i've had the same issue when rooting my ns, what you need is "pdanet for android"

sorry im a newb, cant give you the url..

just google ,the first one is it. installing this fixes the driver problem, though this software is for something else.

Thanks for all the help so far.
[Nexus S General] Ingeminiac:
Allright I got it to work somehow. I got it stuck after when I would go to recovery and I'd see the android + exclamation mark. Turns out you lose the clockwork mod when you reboot?

How do I keep it clockwork mod? I tried the cmd commands, but it returns

device not found

for example if I type adb shell, it returns device not found.

if you are on stock , then yes you will lose the recovery.

follow the instructions i posted here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14076068&postcount=6

keep in mind you have to rename the update-recovery.sh cause on rebooting this file will cause the stock recovery to be flashed back.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
it is nopt as hard as it looks like. i believe this guide is quite useless and complicates stuff. an example is that it says after flashing recovery. you should use adb to push ur su file to the sdcard. why complicate stuff when u could just from recovery , mount the sdcard and drag the file there with ur mouse!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
What ROM are you on? AFAIK, gfree, requires the stock kernel to do what it does. How on earth did you turn S-ON? That sort of thing shouldn't just happen out of nowhere.

I was trying to get back to stock from the rom i was on. (MIUI) and when I used the stock .img though the bootloader it went all good till it rebooted, then it said failed because the file was old and now I am stuck with s-on and I don't know how to turn it off
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
How did you get to the stock bootloader? Did you have eng bootloader at one point? What meth of root did you use? Alot of info missing.

Now download the stock radio.img and push it via adb or just download the PD15IMG.zip (radio only not rom included). Once this is done you can revert back to stock rom/radio using standard PD15IMG.zip (radio+rom). Now depending on the type of root you used it would depend if you still have radio flag on/off even if your reverted back to stock bootloader.

PS: You can get PD15IMG.zip (stock radio) from master radio thread and PD15IMG.zip (stock radio/rom) by doing search.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxKOLOHExX:
It flashed the bootloader when I flashed the PD15IMG.zip, it just stop when I did the whole procedure. Nope never flashed an Engineer Bootloader. I used theunlockr.com sites method

I tried that, it uziped then tried to flash the radio then just went back to the original menu for the bootloader
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
If you used the VISIONary+ (TempROOT) and root.sh (PermROOT) meth then you already had engineering hboot (0.85.2007) pushed though terminal on "/dev/block/mmcblk0p18". Now you did something in between is what I would like to know.

As you flashed new radio (26.09.04.26_M) which I am clear. But what I like to know is how did you end up with default hboot (0.86.0000)? If you had S=OFF you didn't lose it via flashing new radio. Which PD15IMG.zip did you install? Now when you say PD15IMG.zip what do you mean? It can be anything as its default mt4g system based image. Stock PD15IMG.zip = (Sense 2.2.1 Rom/Radio 26.03.02.26_M). Did you install leaked PD15IMG.zip from Panache? or GB2.3.3S?

Are you not 1 of the Royal dev's? who try to take over Silence's IG if I recall. I am just assuming here but this is why you do "NOT" dump system image via hboot. What you should have done was do complete total system wipe (format /data; /system) and then flash new edify based CWMR flashable rom.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxKOLOHExX:
Yeah I know that, I Was trying to go back to stock everything using the unrooting method(PD15IMG.zip). Using this file I was able to get through the first step and it rebooted, then it went back to bootloader and now it won't take the PD15IMG.zip saying that it is an older file. Yes I am one of the devs, That's why before posting I tried everything I could think of, gfree, old unrooting methods, etc. I didn't use a dump lol I'm not that noobish haha :P
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
Thats where you got owned as the PD15IMG.zip (stock rom/radio) just reverted back to hboot (0.86.0000) from eng hboot (0.85.2007). While you attempted to go further you couldn't do to security turning on (S=ON). Now this normally wouldn't be problem but since you had newer radio (26.09.04.26_M) it wouldn't replace it with old.

All you had to do was follow few simple meths which you should have learned it over the years. Go back same way you came by first reverting back to original radio image and then after doing complete system wipe you should have reverted back to original factory based via stock pd15img.

Ill post back with solution soon let me think this out. I don't want to brick your phone trying to manually push the radio.img nor the eng_hboot.img. As if you try to push radio now would fail on write and give you hard brick. Since S=ON and if you try to push eng_hboot.img who knows what will happen as no R/W access on mmcblk could could also fail thus giving bad flash which can also brick the device. Ill see what happens and post back at... you folks just made more extra work for me.

so what youre saying is that we should try flashing the stock radio first, wipe the whole phone(including sdcard?), then flash the stock PD15IMG? Ill give it a shot real quick, thanks

*edit* hboot wont even let me flash the stock radio, itll say checking but wont actually let me update it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
Well clarknick27 the problem here is that root.sh to gain PermROOT via VISIONary+ just push the 0.85.2007 eng hboot and giving temporary S=OFF, the true security flag as we know it is controlled in the radio. So when you try to revert back using stock PD15IMG (rom/radio) it reverted back to the stock 0.86.0000 hboot thus turning on the security flag on.

What you all should have done is reverted back same way you installed it. Which would have been first use PD15IMG.zip (stock radio) and then use stock PD15IMG.zip (radio/rom). I still need some sleep lol I just wokeup after sleeping 2hours.

The MT4G I tested on I rooted it via VISIONary+ and then flashed GB Leak rom not the PD15IMG.zip (leak radio/rom) which contained the 0.89.0005 hboot. So after flashing stock radio PD15IMG.zip (radio 26.03.02.26_M) I was able to flash stock PD15IMG.zip (rom/radio) without problem. Which is same as I suspected even after S=ON due to same version radio no problem. If I had newer radio after that point it would be locked out. Let me go to sleep and wakeup and ill see what happens from there. As I have clean MT4G ill have to reroot it first.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
BTW XxKOLOHExX and clarknick27 just in case my account gets disabled. Do the following and report it here and ill see from there.

1) Which working rom you currently have installed on the device?

I know trying to reroot using gfree may give you similar result as my test: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1066966 < not important but unable to root on newer rom.
