Hi All

Before opening this topic I have searched to find answers on my questions but no results.

I got Xoom WIFI MZ604

It is not rooted and was automatically updated to 4.0.4 version.

Now I have just received USB Hosting Cable and want to transfer files directly from my camera to Xoom device. Or from Flash Card or use Card Reader on Xoom.

But unfortunately I have only managed to use USB keyboard and mouse with this device and cable.

So my question is Do I need to Root my Xoom in order to use USB flash drive, Connect Camera and Transfer files, use card-reader?

As I have seen on Youtube people can see images in gallery once they connect camera or USB flash drive.

When I connect USB flash drive and Card Reader to Xoom, Tablet gives power to them and seems it recognizes but cannot access files.

I have tried File Explorer to see Flash from mnt but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions? I really do not want to go back to previous version of Android (I even don't know how to do it and if it is safe)
