Samsung MHL>HDMI not working on my LG Optimus G - AT&T LG Optimus G

I've just bought an HML adapter from Ebay and it's from Samsung, according to the seller it should work with my LG Optimus G
BUT IT DOESN'T!!
I already tried reinstalling the OSP apk but it says it's already installed on my phone.
So, could it be the adapter? or my phone?
Im currently running on 4.0.4 ROOTED

I have a Samsung mhl from an Infuse, have used it to mirror to TV. OSP needs PC program from link to work.

The cable connection wizards is asking for a password....????
I've tried 123, 12345, 123456, 000, 0000 and nothing.
There's a pic of the phone with "COM 3" under it.

Come on guys!!! need some help!!

Samsung MHL adapters use a 5 pin to 11 pin conversion tip (see here). AFAIK, it's a Samsung only thing though I have no idea if it'll work with an OG.

Here is a link for user guide, it mentions USB and WiFi for OSP. Have never tried OSP but Samsung MHL does work to connect to TV. Page 82 in guide.

There's nothing about a password on the user's manual, I've just asked for help and sent an email to LG support.

Are you trying to use MHL to watch video on your TV? Or are you trying to use the on screen phone application for your computer? They are completely different. I've never been asked for a password when using MHL.

My point was mhl isn't listed as a connection option for osp. Looking at posts from other phones there is an option to change password on phone. Some devices osp is under connection options, some have it in wireless and networks. Hope this helps.

Neither the OSP and the MHL works... when I connect the cellphone to the pc the connection wizard asks for a password, and the MHL from Samsung I bought from Ebay doesn't work, I guess because it's a 5 pin.
I haven't received an email from LG Support yet.

My Samsung MHL mirrors my phone to a TV fine. Are you powering the adapter with micro USB?

I was just about to ask the same thing. I have an MHL cable that has both the HDMI and the USB. If I don't connect both HDMI and USB to my television, it won't work. I have to use USB 3 because 1 and 2 don't provide enough voltage. I could also use a powered USB HUB if I want to keep the phone fully charged. This is ideal, because the screen never turns off.
I bought this cable, if you need one that's verified to work.

thanx!

Hate to bump an old thread, but I bought this exact cable as well, and cannot get it to work with my Optimus G. Works fine with my wifes GSIII.
does the order of plugging in the cables matter?

Just plug the inputs into the TV and usb first. Try a powered USB hub, or AC phone charger plug for the USB. The TV may not be providing enough current.

SGSIII and note2 use 11 pins mhl adapter which is different from all the others. Newer devices like optimus g, htc one and s4 use new 2.0 mhl adapter. I believe s4 and note3 support both 11 pins and 5 pins mhl adapters.

If you have got an original Samsung MHL Adapter , It should can work with your LG Optimus G. But if you have got a fake Samsung MHL Adapter. I will say " No ".
If you believe me. You can get another new samsung MHL adapter from www.hdgenius.com , Everything can be solved.

If your intention was to SIM unlock your phone, all you have to do was to contact AT&T with with the original phone number the phone was registered with & the IMEI number.
Or get the original owner to do it for you.
Pop in your new SIM card & when prompted for the SIM Unlock code, just input the code that AT&T provides you.
No cable, no pin-outs needed.
Then, use the microSD method to flash the phone.
You're done!
But, if you want to sync with your PC, it's highly recommended that you purchase a sync-charge cable as this is about the only means to sync your phone if BT ActiveSync is not working on the ROM you're planning to upgrade to.

[answered] usb data cable

my P6800 didnt came with an USB data cable, and I'm gonna need it to flash roms, adb and transfer large volumes of data.
I've looked on ebay and ordered one that was compatible with P1000.
I've then asked the seller if he knew if it was compatible with P68x0 and he said it isnt!
anyone can confirm that? I assumed all samsung tablets would use the same port (aka upside down iPad)!
if it isnt, I better cancel the shipping ASAP!

Yes any Samsung type 30 pin cable should work.

It will definitely work. I am using one of those generic type which I bought previously for my tab 7 and subsequently used it for the past 7 plus and now present 7.7

OTG adapter on rogers.

I read before that the OTG adapter does not work with the i717r but i recently flashed the onlyOne rom and the about menu shows as i717. Before i buy the adapter (which i have to get from the states unless someone knows a cheap place in the GTA) i just want to know if it will likely work.
It all depends on the rom that you are running. Not sure what it was now but it was GB (memory sux), but with whatever rom it was, flash drives worked fine but the card reader didn't work. I recently tried the Unofficial CM9 and again the flash drive worked fine, but the card reader only worked sometimes. A few times it popped up with errors saying the card was damaged and wanted to format it. I did NOT let it format and it worked fine after a reboot. But the real winner of this story is the flappjaxxx ICS rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
My card reader works great with this rom and I trust it for use at work.
As far as i717R, i717D, i717M, they are all the same physically......just different bloatware for each canadian provider.
My phone was a rogers phone and it appeared to have no otg capability when I got a cable from ebay. I'm now using the onlyone Rom and still no otg. I'm buying another cable to see if there's something wrong with the one I bought so I'm waiting to try another cable out.
There's really cheap cables on ebay and amazon, but then I don't know if that is the root of my problem.

[Q] SGS2 Won't turn on - Need Data Off (Bell)

Hi There,
Last month I was on a trip and I took lots of pictures and video of family of family, and filled up my SD card. I switched to internal memory since I didn't have a computer at the time.
I was using my phone on the kitchen table reading a wikipedia article and the screen turned off (automatically). I pressed a button to turn it back on so I could continue reading, and nothing happened. I pressed the power, the home, everything, but got no response from the phone.
I pulled the battery and put it back in, and still got nothing. I have a few spare batteries (and my girlfriend has the same phone so I knew they were fine), and was unable to even get a boot screen.
I pulled the phone in and tried turning it on this way. I felt the area next to the camera get warm, but was still unable to see any other signs of life out of it.
I plugged the phone into my computer as a next step, and the computer didn't recognize it at all. I pressed the power button, the area got warm, but still my computer refused to recognize anything.
I called Bell, and they said there was nothing they could do, but since I had phone insurance, I could get it replaced. I asked them about my pictures, and they said they couldn't do anything to save them.
I called Samsung, and as I was travelling in the US, I got the US Samsung, which, upon hearing the model number, told me to call Samsung UK. I thought that was weird, so I called Samsung Canada through my VoIP account, and they told me to call a local dealer.
I called the local dealer, but they told me they only serviced printers. I called back, and they sent me to Samsung Service Absolut, some outfit in Montreal that services Samsung phones and apparently other things as well. They transferred me around, and told me that they couldn't help me, since the phone seemed to be dead.
I'm trying to locate somebody that can help me get my data from my phone. I've tried contacting a few people, but they told me they couldn't help.
Does anybody here know how to help me?
Thanks!!!!

Nope no JTag attempts, how does that work? I believe generally there's a JTag port or something isn't there? Or does it go work via the USB plug?

Why should the standard Galaxy USB JIG not work with your Cellular Galaxy?

Never heard they don't work with US-Galaxys.
