I was able to modify Chris idea and make one cable instead of a dangle and a cable. http://sites.google.com/a/gowthamj.com/www/

Would that N810 cable that gowthamj posted or kchow’s thing work? 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)?

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?

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.

@Chris
You are referring at witch cable when you are saying that this will not fit in the droid socket ?

Be careful – that cable appears to have the A connector that’s normally required for OTG to operate in host mode. I doubt that this cable would work, you need one with a B connector to fit the socket on the Droid.

What would happen if you used one of these on the go cables you see everywhere? Would you have to have it and the device plugged in while the droid boots? Here’s a cable like I’m talking about. http://www.brightonnet.co.jp/english/product/other/bbm-wireel.html
