Thatz pretty impressive. I too have that sony dock. I think about modification of it so that i can plug in my hd2 in it. Ie just to put an micro usb plug out from it, so that i can charge my phone while i plug in 3.5mm jack from the sony dock.

Thatz all about mine.. now letz look into ur case.

Cant u try out 3.5 mm jack for audio o/p?

Or else u can check out pinouts.ru for pin config of hdmi, coz, u r going to take out hdmi from sg note any way. So u can rip the cable apart and take out audio and video wires, connect the video cables to tv and audio to dock/ amp.

But i suggest that 3.5 jack will be the easier way.
[Hardware Hacking General] giritrobbins:
So I don't know about it, I would say that it really isn't that feasible. Besides putting a different resistance you would also need to route the data lines to a different location to the MHL to HMDI converter.

If you were to do the video or USB you couldn't do audio. From what I understand there is a IC that looks at the resistance on the ID pin and puts the audio signals on the data lines. Once again you run into the same problem that you have with the video adapter, routing the data lines.
[Hardware Hacking General] PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn:
got a brief schematic for layout. I'm buying some cheap bits now (MHL adapter, USB soundcard, USB OTG cable)

first a few explanations on the schematic, software I used didn't have many switches on it, so plan to use a 4 pole double throw like this rather than the 2 sets of 2p2t shown in the diagram

secondly, not sure if I need to short pins 4&5 for OTG, still reading stuff
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
Yap, u got it.. but also provide external power supply of exactly 5v in usb host mode, so as to power slave devices.
[Hardware Hacking General] syin16:
guyz, i wanna ask something, in order to use MHL adapter, does the phone need to support MHL protocol? and the protocol resides in the hardware part or software part of the phone?
[Hardware Hacking General] giritrobbins:
The MHL lives in the phones hardware is the simplest. If you find the Galaxy S2 hack pack it will show you a block diagram of how the MHL exists there.
[Hardware Hacking General] PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn:
as giritrobbins said it is hardware based.

it shares the microUSB connector, but uses an entirely different signalling. hence why it has to be separated out. otherwise a hub would do every thing I'm trying to do here
[Hardware Hacking General] Truck'nfool:
Hi, folks just thought I would ask how this project is going ? It's really quite fascinating.
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
Pin 5 (ground) can be carried through to everything.

OTG requires ID (pin4) to be connected to Gnd (pin 5).

In the diagram above S2 is not really needed.

If you want to switch electronically, there are lots of ICs for doing that.

Here is one picked entirely at random: http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/FS/FSA3000.pdf

MHL will be the trouble spot, USB is much more forgiving.
[Hardware Hacking General] 5spdvl2:
I've seen docks like the one you're tying to build on eBay with built in MHL; is that what you're after?
[Hardware Hacking General] joederp:
Well, if you look at the service manuals, they have lots of details about where stuff is coming from.

The MHL is all digital coming from the HDMI chip. There is however audio, which you'd need to enable in the snd driver as

a RX enabled, and also it looks like the I2S would have to set up the microUSB chip to export the analog

audio through the USB port.

At least in the case of the 8960 systems (Galaxy S3, OneX?) this is the USB driver setup.

The audio is coming directly from the qualcomm codec chip and you'd have to enable it with

the tabla stuff, then the USB, but it might be programmed to sense USB headset.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

Basically, if you want analog output only, you need to use the MUS_I2C to tell the Fairchild USB analog mux to enable the

audio lines. Then you would need an audio amp because the codec output can only make it to the analog mux

and I'm not sure what kind of buffering is on the uUSB chip. But if you are going this route, you might as well use

the headphone jack. It's not digital unless you use the MHL.
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
Two things to bear in mind when demultiplexing the USB connector:

The analog audio out ("CarKit") has a signal that goes below ground.

Some electronic demultiplexors might not handle that.

The MHL signal goes into the Gigahertz.

Don't try switching that with a Radio Shack relay or connecting using loose wires.

MHL uses the two data lines for TMDS data and the ID pin for CBUS.

[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
The HTC Chacha can now be officially unlocked via HTC's HTCdev bootloader unlock tool:

(This is also confirmed to work on HTC Status, thanks jlopez0978)

1) Unlock: Prepare for Unlock via HTCDev then unlock as explained here (you can find a small fastboot & adb kit here, no need to install the whole sdk).

2) Root: You should be able to root using the Doomlord root tool.

3) Install CWM Recovery: Download CWM 5.0.2.7 for Chacha and flash it using fastboot (see detailled instructions by Yorzua here)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

4) Flash custom rom like SuperOSR / CM7 ;)

5) Enjoy!
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
YES! F*****G YES! I'm already S-OFF'd via the XTC-Clip, but gonna do this unlock anyways.

12:45am where I live, and this just made my day! :D :D

EDIT 1: I kept getting "model ID" errors, so I had to extract the rom.zip from the RUU.exe and apply it manually from HBOOT.

EDIT 2: Just a tip, the recovery can be fastboot flashed. From what I've read in the Wildfire S section, boot.img's will need to be fastboot flashed too if you didn't S-OFF via the XTC-Clip.

EDIT 3: Seems like you can fastboot flash everything but radios and HBOOTs - I fastboot flashed a boot.img and a system.img of a nandroid backup of the 1.54.401.2 stock ROM - I could see this being very useful.
[HTC ChaCha] fi3ry_icy:
now that there is s-off available, should we request that the htc chacha be shifted back to the main forum instead of allow it to remain in the legacy section?
[HTC ChaCha] intel007:
Let the activity build up for a couple of days then message an admin.

I'm from the wildfire s forum and we were put in legacy, but after a polite message to admin (not from me) we're back in action.
[HTC ChaCha] ts3010:
I unlocked the boot loader but it still says s-on!
[HTC ChaCha] intel007:
It won't s-off

Bootloader unlocked means you can root and flash custom roms

You can't flash hboot and radios

Also your phone wont be network unlocked
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I'm not sure that's relevant... You could't be S-On but unlocked (being able to flash non signed files)

Have you done the fastboot oem unlock part? Did it fail??

Can you report the output of:

fastboot.exe getvar -all
[HTC ChaCha] ts3010:
I followed the guide in this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1184118 and put PH06IMG.zip in the root of sdcard and when i boot in boot loader it find the file and say

Parsing...[PH06IMG.zip]

that's it and do nothing after that so what is the problem?
[HTC ChaCha] dapaua:
Same problem here.

UPDATE: Tried with the chinese one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1280569 ,

and then it said: "Main version is older" and made me reboot.
[HTC ChaCha] laapsaap:
All the guides for chacha are friggin confusing anyways. Everybody assumes HTCDEV bootunlocker put your phone to S-OFF.

Well it doesnt... After HTCDEV unlock it is still S-ON but UNLOCKED. Which still has its limitations.

Its so annoying, all I want is root so I can delete some of the stock apps to free some space. I dont need fancy custom roms etc. Because after the 5-6 apps I installed, the phone basically is unusable because after a few weeks there will be only 10-15mbs left. And mind you, I moved everything possible to the SD card.

If this phone isnt so unusable, I wouldnt even bother rooting/unlocking it.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
ok, let's try that:

extract the recovery.img from the PH06IMG.zip and flash it using fastboot, now that you should be able to do it:

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Feel like helping and write some clearer instructions?
[HTC ChaCha] ts3010:
when i do this i got

[HTC ChaCha] dapaua:
I also rooted it. I just did the zergRush, and then pushed su and busybox, and then I installed superuser from the market.

EDIT:CWM recovery installed correctly from fastboot. I had the following error:

The only way to tell is the version change of your HBOOT and by trying to flash CWM then root your phone. There are two guides, one is on this thread, the other is in the General section. Both of them are referring to "Unlock bootloader" so lookout for these keywords.

[HTC ChaCha] DearestLeader:
what will happen to my phone directly after unlocking, and then after rooting?

Sorry if this seems silly, but according to HTC Dev site its tool will erase the data on the phone. Does this include the OS as well, or just user data? The latter would make more sense as the erase bit is done, according to HTC, for privacy concerns, given it will be done over the web. In case I chicken out of going any further after that I want to know I will have a usable phone. Mostly I just want to root so I can get rid of bloatware and put on apps like Titanium Backup. I am hesitant to put on custom roms, as not all are fully tested and my phone has functioned fairly well as is, apart from poor memory and a few minor glitches that are fixed with a simple reboot. I am trying to avoid making this any more complex as things are more likely to go wrong. Would I be rooted and ready to run a functioning phone if do not go beyond step 2 of the first post in this thread, or would I have to run CWM and install a rom as well? Sorry for the bother. I am running HTC Status (AT& T) unmodified and with no updates to the system as AT&T never bother sending any over the air.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Mostly you'll have your phone erased, and the ROM replaced (more or less), as there was an update to it. Don't worry about the ROM, it's the same one, stock, only with updates and fixes.

After you unlock your bootloader, you need to flash CWM and afterwards you can flash superuser and root your phone.

Don't worry about anything, it's a simple and safe procedure and you don't need to install a custom ROM or a modded one.
[HTC ChaCha] Yorzua:
back up before

[HTC ChaCha] DearestLeader:
Thanks Alex C and Yorzua

That helps to clarify things a bit. Do I need to run CWM in order to have a rooted phone, or is this just for installing another rom? Also, I have backed up my contacts to SD card using an app called Mobile Backup II from the Android Marketplace. It was free and fast. Hope it will work. I will let you all know if it does. It backs up calendar and SMS messages too.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Well mostly CWM is first of all used for flashing superuser (which is root). There might be other rooting methods that work now, since bootloader has been unlocked but I didn't check anything.

Don't worry, you can return to your stock recovery afterwards quite easy.

As for the contacts you can export them to the SD card from the contacts app, then import them as Google contacts and sync. They'll get copied on the Google server.

[HTC ChaCha] skezza:
Couple of simple questions, I haven't had chance to read through the thread so apologies if there any doubles:

If I unlock the bootloader, will it wipe the phone? If it does, what's the best way to backup stuff from an unrooted phone, I'm trying to keep hold of as much Internal storage data as I can? Finally, if I unlock the bootloader, will I be able to root it using something fast like superoneclick? I don't need CWM as I don't think she'd want a new ROM or anything, she just wants the dog **** apps that were included against her will to be removed.

Thanks,

Joe
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Yes, the phone will be wipe entirely. there are apps on the Market that can do backup. for that better ask in the general forum for other users advice on the subject.

One of the step in the OP details how to gain root.
[HTC ChaCha] skezza:
Yes, I know. I'm just trying to avoid flashing a new BL if possible. There is no need for CWM if I can get su using something like superoneclick, but no problem.

Thanks for the other info, do you have an app you can recommend. I really could do with backing up application data to.
