Thanks for you help. I have been trying to get this working for the last month or so. I was able to put it in host mode. but gave an error since i continued to use the otg cable. Thanks once again I was able to modify your idea and make one cable instead of a dongle and a cable. http://sites.google.com/a/gowthamj.com/www/

I really want to get this working soon but I really don't know how and haven't soldered before. How is the dongle made (should I just make it look exactly like that photo)?

I've been researching about this topic and I came across this Blog. My question is, will this cable from motorola work for this Hack? http://www.store.motorola.com/mot/en/US/adirect/motorola;jsessionid=DD673335659C437821A85B6905C01280.mot2?cmd=catProductDetail&entryPoint=adirect&productID=SKN6252A&messageType=catProductDetail&showAddButton=true To me its the same as the one you hand made. Now, do you guys think I still have to make the Micro-Dongle for this hack to work if I buy that cable? I'm so down to do whatever for this to work. I just need opinions before I order that cable. Thanks. Ok guys I have a question.. I’ve been researching about this topic and I came across this Blog. My question is, will this cable from motorola work for this Hack?

Great job. I was wondering If you could make one for me. I could send you the money via paypal. I would rather have someone that knows what they are doing, create this for me. I am not a mechanical person. Please let me know. thanks. I bet you could sell these on ebay or through your site. I am very impressed with your usb hack for the motorola droid. Great job.

I doubt that this cable would work, you need one with a B connector to fit the socket on the Droid.
