HTC HML ADAPTER on MyTouch 4G Slide

I have an official HTC HML Adapter but the first TV I used with HDMI did not work.
It is an old Sanyo with only 1 HDMI Port.
The adapter says HTC EVO 3D and Sensation
The TV out on the same TV works instantly with the Zune RCA (Red-Yellow-White) adapter.
I will try a 27" Asus monitor with 2 HDMI inputs later.
Has anyone had success with their MT4GS and this adapter?
EDIT: No Good with Asus Monitor on either HDMI port.
I have a CECHA01 (750GB) PS3 that was updated to 3.60 with my knowledge. (I'll keep that anger away from this thread)
I will test the DLNA Media Server functionality of the PS3 if someone has not done so?
This is bad news that there is no MHL funcionality. NOT the same as Sensataion! I will have to sell this to one of my friends with Sensation that are running their fancy Custom ROMs while I sit and rot on Stock for the time! Perhaps I have a bad unit right out of the box? It's possible, but I doubt it?

Everyone is waiting your further report.

Quoted for truth.

I believe we've already confirmed that the MT4GS, out of the box at least, does not support MHL. can't remember the thread where it was being discussed.
it would seem that it could be possible if you take into account the fact that the innards are the same as the Sensation and E3D, but we might have to dig to get it going. also, apparently some of the early demos of the MT4GS showed off MHL alongside the Sensation which leads me to believe we just need some small tweaks to get it working on the retail units.

This leads me to believe we need to donate to some devs to get this device in their hands. I am sick of checking the development thread to see if a there is a ROM available.
Every other device I have had, I always checked to see what was new for flashing. I think the that the timing of the Sensation and MT4GS may be one of the causes of the lack of development
What can you do....just wait and see. I have chose to wait vs getting the Sensation, which has not been easy as I have unlocked and flashed everyone in my area who has bought one, while I choose the joystick over screen res?
How much longer will this painful wait be?
Sorry for the rant.

Stock rom does not do TV out at all if you remove the TVOut apk.
Thus it follows that MHL will not work unless the correct MHL apk is present.
I would imagine the next course of action is to determine if the sensation rom contains such an apk while the mytouch does not.
Anyone have a sensation they can look at for us?

I think we're moving along nicely... less than a month since the device's official release and we have perm root & s-off already. rom development will take time. if you're aching for some changes, just head over to the UOT kitchen and have some fun there.

Just purchase a camcorder av cable. You can do tv out that way. Plus its cheaper and quality is the same as a mhl.

This thread, it has become zombie.
Can we difinitively say this device does not have mhl support at this point, or has someone learned something the rest of us are unaware of?

Well, since you are off the hook for the moment:
Does it require specific hardware to operate, or is it just code that matters?
I understand it's not supposed to matter for the connection itself - so using the MicroUSB would work on any device that had it - but is there any hardware that needs to be present within the device itself to make it work?
I think that's what I got from this before - but didn't verify anything or look into it too deeply because of the tv-out over 3.5mm and just wrote it off.
If it does require hardware support to function in some context, maybe we can see if we actually have that hardware in the device before you spend money again.
Or do you not care and just wanna buy and try? Fine either way - just curious?

Well, the seller stated its compatible for a reason, but might be an error on his side. Also im back at my money, so ill look into this more thoroughly, looking at local stores converters and their compatibility.
But yes, if someone could verify hw specification with htc or tmo that would save time.and yes it needs hw imho.

http://ifixsmartphone.com/iphone_repair/MyTouch_4G_Slide_teardown.html
That links to the only known public teardown of this device - it's showing how to replace part of the screen, but you have to take the whole device apart to get to that and pictures were taken at each step.
If we can determine that there is specific hardware needed and what it is, so far this is our best chance to see if it's physically there. (possibly?)
If any other public teardowns are found, definitely post here - and if anyone knows what hardware MHL requires the device to have please post it here so we can look into this.
Don't have the time to look too deep into this tonight, but i'll definitely post anything relevant I can find towards determining whether it's possible or not.

I just might buy that teardown found here:
http://www.abiresearch.com/research/1009325-HTC+MYTOUCH-4G-SLIDE+phone+teardown
...that _atlien_ posted about here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17482235&postcount=2
I've gone to that page probably once every 2 or 3 weeks since it was posted and thought about buying it, maybe next time but every time I get closer to going for it.
----
That aside though, any public resources along these lines anyone has found would be appreciated. I think the idea that it needs hardware makes sense or any device could just do it with the right code - but not sure and could be wrong. We need a conclusive determination on this.

well,ive found a local store with mhl stuff, i think these are pretty much the same converters. Going to give it a spin with the Sensation based rom and stock.

Looks like the ds kernel doesnt have a driver for it. Im gonna try to merge a driver to see if its a dormant part or theres no such hw in ds at all.
sent from HTC Doubleshot pyroiced

ok. i think MHL is a not going to work, looking and digging for it.
The chip is called 'sii9234' that sensation and shooter (evo3d) seems to have by default in the kernel. Looking for this chip on google related to our device I see nothing relevant...
there would be no sane reason to not include the driver if the chip is on board, that would be like worsening the market position of it. So i wont buy this cable, till someone can confirm that the sii9234 mhl chip is on the board.

[Q] Do you know if recent devices are affected by eMMC bad chips ?

Hello Desire S community, im going to updated my old desire for a Desire S next week ( yeah SGS2 is like a 2nd wallet on my pockets too big for me ) and i would like to ask if recent devices are affected by eMMC bad chips ? Is there a version 2 of the hardware already ?

I am curious to see some comments

I think XDA don't have this kind of Info yet. I'll try to get the newest device i can and i'll report it in this thread later.

Mine is waiting for motherboard replacement.but the local service center has no stock and they are going to ship it from Taiwan...it should be using the latest batch.will see what chip is being used in it though

How would you go about finding out what chip you have?

you need to run this harmless read-only command from within terminal on the device or from adb on your PC (with device attached - and correct drivers installed) see links in my sig.
Code:

We'll my phone has a so-called bad chip and I've had it since April (over six months) and it's still up and running, you just mustn't do daft things like pull battery etc....although I did that many times, before the community discovered that it was so risky!
There are guides on what best to do, in order to avoid the chance of any issues!
If you did "fry the eMMC chip" there is still some possibility of a warranty return.

Is there actually any evidence that it is a particular type or brand of eMMC chip that causes the problem?
My engineering experience would lead me to also look for a weakness in the design of some associated circuit (i.e. locking out write ability to the chip when battery voltage is below usable value).

Buying an used Sensation this afternoon, anything I need to look for?
Going to be meeting up with someone this afternoon to get a used Sensation 4g. He said he didn't root it nor has he mess with S-off and it looks to be in pretty good shape. Was curious if there was anything special I needed to look for when buying the phone?
He said it's on 4.0.3 ICS and Sense 3.6
Thanks!

Double check hboot just to be sure he didn't mess with it. Also all water marks make sure they are all white.

Hboot is in the bootloader correct? What should the standard value be? And is it volumedown+power to get into it?
And will the water marks all be visible if I pull the backing off?

Do you plan on Rooting yourself?
If you plan on Rooting and going S-Off on it the new process is rather tricky. If you aren't brave I wouldn't suggest it. It is the trickiest S-off process I have ever seen... And if he has 4.0.3 on it it has the new Hboot, therefore you will be stuck with the new S-off process.

The water mark is under the battery. The small white dot that most mfgrs use, should be directly above the battery contact points.

Not a bit deal. I just need a decent/nice phone to hold me over for a bit. If the s-off process is a bit tricky then no big deal lol.

Place a call on it. The volume sucks and had I known about it I probably would've gone with something else. But apparently it's not all phones do check to be sure

Okay cool I'll do that as well.

Picked the phone up just now. It's actually not too bad and for $150 bucks was a pretty good deal. The speaker volume is a little low but that's not really a deal breaker for me. The screen is a good size and nice and clear.
My only gripe is that I didn't save my contacts to my SD card before my other phone bricked lol.

my common test for 2nd phone are, test calling, speaker phone, look at the body is there is any scratch or ex fall down, test the earphone, try camera, skewer imei, etc

I bought second-hand sensation about a week ago.
I can say personally that Sensation S-Off was a breeze comparing to Sony Arc unlock without voiding warranty. Is it really that hard to tap twice using the paperclip? I think not. Program takes care of everything else.
And a suggestion to OP, get it chrome-polished as soon as you can. It looks and feels amazing!

Enjoy your new toy... It rocks!

Wow $150 that's a steal. Guess the new gen phones really drove these down in price.
I know you already got the phone but for anyone else, bring headphones. Play something and wiggle the plug around. The slightest pressure breaks contact for one of the channels. Really annoying when the phone is in my pocket.
Good news about these phones is the battery cover wraps around almost the entire phone. $20 gets you a new one and you'll have a phone that looks new.

[Q] JTAG without box

I just bricked my LG optimus one the other day, and I got it into EM mode and tried to flash stock ROM onto it via KDZ and it dead booted it. So I've been looking into JTAG and am really excited to see how it'll work, but I don't have the money to get a RIFF box. Is there anyway to do it straight from the parallel cable on my PC's MOBO?
I saw something about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075839 but they didn't get too far into it. Is it possible? Has anyone made a software for it?
Thanks in advance

Yes, in theory it will work but why do it for a device you can get on eBay for 50 bucks brand new....you'll spend more money trying to jtag than just buying a new phone

i totally agree with you

I really like this phone, and I really like hacking into stuff like that. It's a kinda hobby, and it gives me something to do I already made a JTAG cable that fits into my old-school MOBO so now I just need the software. Shouldn't be too hard? And didn't cost me a thing so far

I haven't seen the software flying around but if you have the knowledge to jtag, just create the software

Did you completely brick your phone? Is it boot able into recovery? If so, have you tried an alternate mean such as LGDMP 1.5? the program is really meant for baseband switch but you might be able to recover your phone
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah that's what dead booted it in the first place. I tried running that but it bricked my phone Now no signs of power. And I've never JTAGed either.... Love to try though Just don't know where to start to create software

I seem to be a jack of all trades but I'm guessing the only way you bricked was by pulling the battery during nv2 restoration. I did break 1 device with that program but still I'd rather use that program than kdz....lgdmp-40% of bricking, lgdmp-60% of bricking....

It actually completed the update then reboot itself and didn't turn back on

Has anyone created a software for JTAG to use without a jtag box? Straight from Parallel port?

Lolz.. what do you mean by jtag software??
Read more about jtags!!
What you can do is.. find service centres with jtag kit. Even some LG sc keep jtag!!

What I'm hoping for is, Whatever is inside of a JTAG box, you can also use your PC to do whatever a JTAG box can do. But it would require a software to tell your PC to do whatever it needs to do to JTAG the phone. Did I explain that right? It sounds like it should be possible to me.... I just don't know how to do it. And there are no JTAG services anywhere in the Treasure valley!

Any ideas?

You are not understanding.. WITHOUT jtag 'Hardware'.. you cant.
Eg: Can you have sound output in YOUR PC without Sound card 'Hardware' on motherboard.
In a proper old fashioned jtag box you need to measure voltage, resister values and many things.. programming and debugging using xilinx. People without core knowledge of xilinx, vlsi, µTC etc etc cant program over jtag and other similar devices. I cant explain what is inside jtag box but tell me how can you make
1 -Vddh (+3.3v)
2 - Vss (ground)
3 - nTRST
4 - Vss (ground)
5 - TDI
6 -Vss (ground)
7 - TMS
8 -Vss (ground)
9 - TCK
10-Vss (ground)
11- TDO
12-nRESET (optional)
13- Vddh (+3.3v)
14-Vss (ground
these 14 pin tap interface from pc.
Its not like using PC suite with data cable.
Nowadays there are many jtag boxes out in market specially for mobile pcbs.. to revive bricked phones. You just have to configure it.. rest it wil do everything itself.
This is a link.. where you can find people and shops with riff jtags.

So a JTAG (RIFF) box IS REQUIRED to fix a deadboot phone?

[Q] Been curious about swapping sd cards on HOX

I have not seen this done before in any posts and wondering. Would it be possible to dismantle the HOX and replace the sd card with a larger capacity? My sister in law gave me a HTC windows phone and said it went dead on her one day and threw it in the drawer. I played with it and never could get it back to working order. I scoured the net and found a way to replace the internal sd. So I put in a 1gb sd and now it works. Is there a way to do the same with the HOX , just curious.

unfortunately you cant.. the windows phone 7 devices used microsd card instead of nand inside em (although the sd slot wasnt accessible without disassembly), thats why it was possible to replace.. in this case the one x uses nand which is built into the motherboard, hence cant be swapped out like a microsd

From reading in the soff thread before it was achieved, if I recall correctly there are pads on the main board for a SD holder. Not sure if that's verified though.
