I got a Mi4i from a lucky draw, testing on OTG & MHL functions. The OTG function works well on pendrive/ card reader but can't support portable hardisk (500GB/ 1TB).

Instead of watching movie on a 5" screen, I want to output it to a hotel LED-TV when I travel outstation. I've bought a MHL kit from Lazada (http://www.lazada.com.my/mhl-kit-with-micro-5-pin-micro-11-pin-usb-mhl-to-hdmi-for-samsung-htc-xiaomi-white-877200.html). I was dissapointed that Mi4i doesn't output the screen to LED-TV with HDMI/ USB port even after I've rebooted the phone. The screen just showed "No signal".

There are users asking about MHL function of Mi4i on xda & en.miui.com forum but no definite answers whether mi4i can or cannot support MHL.

I'm not sure whether the problems come from the China-made MHL KIT, or mi4i no native MHL support. Anybody has experienced this before? Mind to share?

Yes, I'm using a Y-cable - USB end connects to powerbank with 2A output. and the hardisk LED is blinking. Perhaps I have to wait for more than 20 seconds for the phone to detect it???

Just check my HDD, it's really formatted as NTFS. Let me check again... thanks.

Opps, it doesn't work probably because my device is not rooted yet. I have not rooted a device since some time ago. The first rooted device was my first android phone running on Gingerbread.
