I smell a new trend of installing incorrect phone ROMs.
This is what...the 3rd or 4th person this has happened to? It's a shame it really is and accidents happen. I hope people take more precaution in the future. :/

[Q] Samsung S4 - No MHL-Connection (with correct HDTV Adapter)

Hey guys,
I would like to mirror my Samsung S4 with AppRadio Unchained to my Pioneer 2DIN unit in my car. The audio unit does have an HDMI input, several people do mirror the phone's screens with the help of a Dongle or HDTV adapter. I purchased the Samsung S4 HDTV adapter ET-H10FAUWEGWW and tested it, but my phone does not connect via MHL. The smartphone will be charged when plugged to the adapter, though.
I also attempted to mirror the phone to a Samsung HDTV, but the TV does not receive a signal, either.
I tried to mirror a Samsung S3 with my adapter on the Samsung HDTV and it worked flawlessly. I guess, the problem with mirroring my phone to a HDTV or my car audio unit is, that my S4 does not connect via MHL. Do you have any ideas why my phone does not connect?
Samsung S4 GT-I9505
Android 4.4.2
Stock-ROM
Rooted (Superuser rights)
Thank you very much in advance. I would be most grateful if you could help me!
Regards,
Nico

It's because you are rooted.

Thank you very much for your reply! I downloaded the Snapdragon 600 fix and unpacked the file hdcpoff_sd600_4.4.2.zip to /system/lib. I rebooted the phone but still I do not get any MHL connection. Did I do something wrong or are there any other chances to fix the issue? Thanks in advance guys!

Did you set the permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--)?
If it doesnt work then you can try flashing this zip true the custom recovery.

Thank you for your reply! I tried flashing the zip file from your post with team win recovery. The flashing was successful but still my phone does not send any signal to my HDTV or Pioneer HDMI unit, either. Why doesn't this work?

No idea. If you really want it to work, then you should start from scratch.
That means unrooting and with a fresh rom.

Can I install this ROM in order to make the screen mirroring work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672053&nocache=1
Does this affect my root / superuser rights on my smartphone?
Is it necessary to install the above mentioned fix, then?
Thank you very much in advance!

If you have the 7 inch S4 there is no mhl on this device. The 8 inch does have mhl.

I've got the S4 GT-I9505 - hence, it does have MHL since it's not the S4 Mini. So, what can I do? Shall I cut the Superuser rights, flash the ROM and root it again? Is the ROM mentioned above by Samy Deluxe suitable for my plans? Is there anything more that I need to consider?
These videos explain but Full Screen mirroring but my phone does not get a MHL connection. Thank you for your help!

Try it with a fully stock rom with no root. Then you will atleast know that is the problem. If it doesn't even work with a stock rom, then it's not rom/root related.

Having read several posts, I guess the Kernel is the problem. A lot of people say that a modified Kernel with KNOX counter x1 will prevent the smartphone from using the MHL connection.
I am using this kernel: samsung GT-I9505 jfltexx KOT49H.I9505XXUFNA5 4.4.2 2
Is there any chance to use a rooted kernel and to use the MHL connection?
Thank you guys in advance!
EDIT:
Is this the right way for a solution?
- Flash stock kernel - which Kernel must be used for a German Vodafone S4 4.4.2?
- Use triangle away
- Check again if MHL is working
EDIT 2:
My knox warranty void is 0x1. Does this mean I cannot use Screen Mirroring anymore?
Thank you guys in advance!

screen mirroring problem

hi all
i have problem to connect my push to tv device with note 4 after i rooted but before root working fine now gives me message "unable to start screen mirroring becouse of a hardware issue" .
anyone can help me to fix this issue .
im using n910u rooted and cwm
im using wanam and xposed
thanks

root is the problem! unroot and try again!

yes
without root working perfect but with root not working how to solve this issue without to remove root

My ex G3(root) ex Z1(root) worked but my ex S5(root) and Note4(stock) dont/didnt work on my Samsung smart TV, go figure.

Any work around on this? What is the best way to unroot and then root... I have twrp using sprint note

I wonder if an app that hides root would allow for screen mirroring. http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-hide-root-access-from-apps-that-detect-root-on-android/
Not being able to screen mirror is the only thing preventing me from rooting

If your device is stock unrooted you shouldn't have this problem. To which device are you trying to connect for screen mirroring?

Im trying to use the built in allshare cast to connect to my samsung smart tv. I could mirror with my rooted note 3 no problem before. But with the note 4 it says connected on the tv then it goes black like its going to load the mirror but never does...and on the phone after about 30 seconds of saying connecting it says device failed to connect. So it sounds like that hdcp issue..but im not rooted so idk how to fix it.

Hi I have the same problem.
I have the same problem with my note 4 it is not root and not connecting. How to solve this problem?

Thank you, my N910C screen mirroring worked but the screen is smaller by half. I don't know what happened I just followed exactly what you said in build.prop now the touchwiz is half the screen and everything is smaller by half, if you can help, please help to restore the screen size to its normal size.
Best.

Fixed!

[Q] [GT-i9515] What happens, if you downgrade to 4.3? (Galaxy S4VÉ)

Information:

Hi, everyone.
One of my friends has a Galaxy S4 Value Edition Gt-i9515.
And she's got this problems with it:
Not-so-good Battery Runtime
SD-Card Access with ES-File Explorer Restricted
Compatibility Problems to some apps
...so she wants to downgrade (4.3)
But the problem is: There hasn't ever been Jelly Bean for the Value Edition.
I want to install the Android 4.3-Firmware from the i9505 on it.
But i am too shy to do that so i thought asking this on XDA
What will happen, if i install the Android 4.3 from i9505 on i9515?

Hardware differences won't make your phone usable, I guess... Bluetooth and wireless use different modules, you need to change kernel, which is still wip...

And it's not good to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3 might break ur device

Well, 4.3 is better than 4.4.2 because KitKat has got soo many Disadvantages,Bugs and Datalosses, so it's bogus.
Thank you however for answering me

Try reset to factory settings if you can.

Same specifications doesn't mean same hardware modules... in fact no rom from i9505 works on i9515, and I suppose viceversa

Downgrade

If is not rooted, take it to service for guarantee , looks like an hardware malfunction after the update.
I'm always always, every time I have a malfunction on any device, the first thing I do is take it to service, if the problem is not related to any thing I can possibly be caused by me I send it for guarantee.
