[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SheaGarrigan:
So I recently flashed the latest version of Clockwork Mod Recovery onto my S3. I was going to install a Custom ROM. But I was going to make a backup with ROM Manager first. I unlocked my bootloader with EZ-Unlock and then tried to make a backup with ROM Manager (which it asks you to boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery which i did). As soon as I hit OK to boot into my recovery the screen went black and it will not turn on, it just stays at a black screen. The only time anything comes on with it is when i take the battery out and plug my charger in, then the red led will light up but thats it! Please help!

It was on Android 4.4.2 and it was rooted.

I didn't use anything from this forum I just couldn't find the right forum to post this thread in so I figured this was good enough :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drummerjoe92@gmail.com:
Okay so that s3 on 4.4.2 has an unlockable bootloader so when you tried getting cwm on it you bricked it. Try this

1) try getting phone to download mode (vol down pwr home)

2) download latest version of odin

3) download stock firmware for that device. BE SPECIFIC WHEN LOOKING. CARRIER. 4.4.2. VERIZON. S3. Make sure you got the right firmware.

4) try flashing new stock rom. If it doesn't work. Pull battery. Try again. Worked after second time for me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taller238:
Hi All,

I really need the MHL function of the Note 2 to be connected to TV's HDMI. But I cannot find any custom ROM supporting it.

I tried the CM11, SlimKat, ... None of them has MHL. (well it's weird that SlimKat on Sprint Galaxy S3 supporting MHL, but Note 2 version doesn't)

I'll appreciate if anyone can give some idea on this issue. Just any CUSTOM (not stock) 4.4+ ROM having the MHL support.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpadhu:
Hi,

MHL function is available only in Stock based custom ROMs. Eg, Omni ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taller238:
Thank you for the reply.

Since the Omni Rom thread had been closed, can you advice here what are the advantages of the Omni Rom, now that it's stock-based? Or why not just use the stock ROM?

And is there any other Stock based ROM with good reputation? In fact I only care the stock functions like MHL, PEN, ...

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taller238:
Well the OmniROM thread said it doesn't support MHL since it's not the TouchWiz based Rom.

What is what then? Please advice. Thanks.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
I have no clue what makes you think Omni is a stock based rom. Omni is an aosp based rom. Stock based roms are based off of touchwiz which will have mhl/hdmi along with full spen functions.

So for the l900 you would need to use rwilcos stock based rom, Alliance, or Community rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpadhu:
It's Omega ROM. Sorry, got confused between the names Omni and Omega and typed as Omni.

You can check Omega ROM. Google it. I guess they have their own website.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taller238:
Thanks but seems like the Omega rom only supports N7100, not Sprint SPH-L900.

There are many cases the Sprint version Note 2 was excluded from the custom rom developing.

Interesting but regretful.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derss123:
my device is Note 2 LTE t0lte

and I have similar needs for MHL too.

I tried slimKat 4.4.4 build 9.0.................................it doesnt work

liquidsmooth LS-LP-v4.0..............................................doesnt work

omni-4.4.4-NIGHTLY..........................................................doesnt work

[5.0.2][OFFICIAL]Team UB ROM...............................doesnt work

[4.4.2] AllianceRom..............................................................doesnt work

[SaberMod] CM12+ Unofficial Build

(this one states it supports HDMI)...............still doesnt work
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
I know 100% that Alliance and Community rom both work with mhl/hdmi output on the l900 (sprint note 2). You can also try DN3 which also works. I use this feature all the time. I use the media dock and have hdmi, keyboard, and mouse connected. No aosp rom has mhl compatibility!!

If you are having issues with touchwiz roms and mhl these are a few things to check.

1. Mhl adapter needs to be designed specifically for Samsung device

2. You need external power supply for mhl to work (needs to be 2 amp output)

When you connect to your device and TV device should display hdmi connected.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taller238:
Can you please give a working link for the "Alliance and Community rom" of SPH-L900?

I did search hard but didn't even get a download place for the Sprint version Note II.

Please note we better say a ROM of 4.4+, instead of any JB or older version, which was too old to be used.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taller238:
Thank you for the list that complete. I eventually found someone on the same boat but more diligent :)

But I felt more pathetic with your info. It's really ridiculous to exclude MHL out of the custom ROMs.

Just saw another mention of "Alliance and Community rom", and asked again for the source. Let's see if there's any surprise.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
The reason custom (aosp) roms dont have mhl is because Samsung wont release the source code for the drivers. Without drivers things wont work.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derss123:
Hello, thank you for your reply :good:

I'm sure my mhl adaptor is working ok as i could connect to TV on stock rom no trouble at all.

In testing hdmi mhl output on Alliance rom, i could see the screen being projected to TV, however it only lasted for a few seconds, and then my phone got frozen while tv screen was going black/blank. I can't figure out what went wrong........

Also, when trying those different roms, i always did a full wipe......

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

I know how you feel.......i myself googled a lot too.....but it's just not going anywhere......very frustrating indeed.

I even tried miracast function. In cm roms, i think it's called cast screen. But still no good luck.

With stock rom, it only works when it's not rooted.

If rooted, then hdcp has to be disabled. I tried but in vain.

With cm12 roms, i googled and found out it's not supported yet.

With cm11, there seems to be a fix for cast screen. But it still didn't work........
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taller238:
Thank you so much for the link.

The MHL works on this version!

But seems like the sPen function not working, since there's no "copy/cut" option pops up when I clipped an enclosed area from the screen.

Do I have to use TW native launcher / web browser (I'm using Nova Launcher and Dolphin browser) to enable this function?

I wish it's just a matter of configuration, since I assume either sPen or MHL shall be wholly supported by this TW based ROM.

I'll appreciate someone can verify this sPen symptom, and give some advice.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
It is a give and take thing. Community is not a stock n2 rom. It is actually parts of n2, n3, and s5. The only thing left to fix on Community is the clipping function for the spen. Only I have quit working on Touchwiz roms.

So long answer short. It is a rom issue not a problem with user setup.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taller238:
Thank you for the clarification. I didn't use sPen that much and just need to configure right.

Which Faria ROM are you running? "the real thing"? I think that one did have a different one but I thought the default one was in there also. The new Faria WM6 rom thats in his ROM Kitchen is the blue'ish one that you may be talking about.

Here's a zip of all the different .tsk's I've collected from various WM6 roms and elsewhere. A lot of these are dark themes, but I think the Crossbow or the XPlore ones may be more what you are looking for (I don't have them installed right now so can't tell you what they all look like, so you'll just have to try them out).

[Samsung Gear VR] Dr-Bond:
I've not got the tools to do this but I've came up with a idea which mite work if someone has the right tools, most importantly a 3D printer would be needed to make a tidy job.

Providing Power

Using a 28awg USB cable to power the Note 4, using a 3D printer to copy the battery shape which clips on and adding terminals to the battery which will make contact with the phone terminals. The USB cable would go into the battery block which is made by the 3D printer and the USB cable would be soldered to the terminals on the battery block which would make contact with the phone terminals. So what you would have is a empty battery which is powered by the USB cable, providing power to the phone.

Then the cover would fit nicely over the battery and the USB cable will pass through a hole/slot in the phones cover.

Adding Cooling

Cooling could also be added by using the dummy battery. Finding a heatsink which is smaller then the battery so the heatsink can touch the back of the phone in the battery bay, so the battery would be made like a bumper case around the heatsink. So what you would end up with is a heatsink USB powered battery, so using up above to provide power to the phone, with the printed battery made around the heatsink so the heatsink can actually sit right on the bottom of the battery bay touching the phone and a back cover cut to make the heatsink stick out, with the back cover permanently fitted to the battery/heatsink unit. The cover with its clip would hold the battery/heatsink unit in place securely to the phone. Other smaller heatsink could be fixed and cut through the back cover or a metal plate could be used to line the inside of the back cover which would be fixed to the main heatsink to provide cooling to other parts of the phone. Both could be used, a metal laced cover with additional heatsink attached to the metal plate.

A small fan could also be added to the main heatskin blowing air into it and this could be powered from the same USB lead.

This shouldn't add a huge amount of weight to the device since you are losing the battery cells and the heatsinks are pretty lite weight.

This is only a idea which I quickly came up with, I've not looked fully into the electrical side of this but if the electrical side of this works, then a person with the right tools could pull this off and make a rather nice job of It.

Because I don't have a 3D printer I've not thought any further then the concept of this, you should be able to imagine what it would look like from what I've described but I can draw up the concept if needed. I decided to write on here about my idea in the hope that someone has a 3D printer, so you can make this, test it and even share the 3D printed parts.

It would be great if people got involved with this, with the technical side, adding more to the idea and even making it.
[Samsung Gear VR] rj3005:
I was thinking in the same direction. I was thinking of making the "battery" out of aluminium and a small group pcb on top for the battery contacts.
[Samsung Gear VR] Dr-Bond:
Yeah making the battery out of aluminium would be better and easier since a 3D printer wouldn't be needed and all you would need to do is cut a bit of aluminium and cutting a slot out for the PCB terminals to sit in, could even buy a cheap note battery and remove the plastic end strip which houses the terminals on the end of the battery and attach that to the aluminium block with the USB lead going into that. Then a heatsink and phone cover could be fixed/glued to the aluminium block. Would a USB lead going directly into the terminals and plugged into a USB charger/USB port power it or will a PCB need to be made to regulate the power going to the phone? Without testing it I would say the USB lead directly into the terminals, would be okay since the chargers have circuit protection and I think the voltage is the same? I've not properly looked into, so I maybe wrong and more work maybe involved for the power side.
[Samsung Gear VR] Dr-Bond:
20mm-Aluminium-Heat-Diffusion-Cooling, since I'm a new user it won't let me use links, but that can be found on amazon 98 x 40 x 20mm Aluminium Heat Diffusion Cooling Fin

That heatsink would fit, would need to be cut to fit the terminals but it would be a good heatsink to use and if a small enough fan can be found that can be fitted using screws which fit between the fin's
[Samsung Gear VR] mitchellvii:
I tried a cooling fin as suggested - just happened to have one laying around. No effect - device still overheated.

To this point, the only thing which has worked for me is to make small very chilled (not frozen) chillpacks from 4x3 hobby ziplock baggies and ice cube substitute blue goo. Chill it, place it between the back cover and the GVR cover plate and ur good to go for an hour. The problem with using frozen ones is you tend to fog.

Another option would be a small fan. As far as a power source, one that takes a AAA battery. Have not seen anything of the correct size to work.
[Samsung Gear VR] Dr-Bond:
With this mod the battery would be removed so that in itself will help reduce the heat and the heatsink will be directly touching the back of the phone up close because the heatsink will go right into the back of the phones battery compartment, rather then being stuck onto the battery. Also other additional heatsinks on hot-spots should help reduce the heat, a laptops CPU cooler with the gas filled copper pipes with the fan unit may work well if the phone case can be modded to house the cooling unit and still click down securely, trying to find one which will cover the hot-spots and also to go over the battery bay.

So the aluminium block as the power unit in the battery compartment with the terminals to power the phone and then that being attached to the back cover which has a laptop CPU cooling unit built into it. So we would need to find a cooler which fits reasonably well onto the back off the phone and work out a way to mod/cut the case cover, so the case cover will be used to make it look tidy and also the cover will be used so you can attach the cooler and power supply to the phone.

If using a USB cable to power it the volt will need to be regulated down to 3.8-3.85v to power the phone, I've been looking for a regulator but I can't find one which will bring 5v down to 3.8-3.85v whether anyone on here can come up with a circuit diagram to get the power down to the voltage needed?

I'm going to have a quick look around for laptop CPU coolers which mite fit, if anyone else comes across any, add them here, a laptop cooler fan would definitely fit and could be powered by the incoming/out going power depending on voltage of the fan, also some graphic cards have heatsinks with small fans on but a laptop CPU cooler would ve better since its gas filled and would keep it cooler for longer

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombunny:
Been looking into this for awhile now. Today, I've just rooted my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 (on 4.3) and I'm absolutely giddy over having a rooted android :)

Two things I've been finding come up is to change the APN settings (been playing with those, doesn't seem to help :confused: ) and to go into data/system/throttle and delete the two files you find there after backing them up to your pc. Problem is, while this folder seems to pop up for a lot of people, there doesn't appear to be a throttle folder in my phone. This may be because, even though it was sold through Net10 and uses Net10 service, it's originally technically an AT&T phone. To my understanding (and I may be a total noob here), the big carrier companies like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc, throttle you when they see you're using too much on their towers. But that prepaid carriers piggyback on the big carriers, so rather than being able to monitor you (because they can't watch the towers, it's not their towers) they install these triggers in their devices to automatically activate when you exceed a certain data threshold (in my case, 3GBs). Is my understanding incorrect here? Just trying to learn from what I read on forums. :p

Anyone here who can help me figure out how to bypass the throttle, or at least make it a bit faster than 16kbps when being throttled? I understand getting slowed down, I'm not gonna sit here like "Lol but it says unlimited lol" because I actually read the fine print. But 16kbps is unbelievably slow. Hell, I'd be good with 50-100kbps.......

If you need more info to help me out, just ask! :)

I'm going to be in Europe for part of this summer and while I was leaning towards the Elephone P7000, I was concerned that it would not be available in time.
