Yes, that file has been there all along. I've confirmed with roebeet that the problem lies in the boot.img file (xoom_ocboot.img) that is used in the OC procedure. I don't know the exact details, but what has to happen is the dev that put together that .img will need to incorporate roebeet's changes into his, so that both USB host AND OC will work together, without affecting wifi. We've contacted that dev and hopefully we'll have it worked out shortly.
USB hosting ENABLED on XOOM!

This is awesome! I'm totally going to rock this when I get my Xoom mid April!
I do have one question though. Does anyone know of a microUSB to SD card reader? I'd love to be able to throw the photos from my camera onto my Xoom when I travel. I'm sure something like this has to exist, but Google is not finding it...
Any help?
Oh, and thank you roebeet, devs like you make my devices so much better

you mean like THIS
Bigrush's 1.1.5 is a BEAST and it includes this mod plus allows that sexy OC to 1504

Looks like im gonna have to wait. Need my OC more than the usb host functionality. When we get those two working together man that would be killer.
EXACTLY! Thanks man. Why I couldn't find that is beyond me.
Now I just have to get the tablet and see if it works... right when I get my next paycheck. I hate having to be patient

So you can confirm this works? Basically at this point I would just have to go through the Tiamat procedure (install their boot.img and kernel) and then make roebeets mod and the oc and usb host will work? And no issue with losing wifi?
Great news. Has anybody been able try out a USB powered external HDD? Curious as to whether there is adequate power coming from the Xoom
Other USB Devices (like audio-input, usb mouse, etc.)?
Does this make it POTENTIALLY possible for other devices to be attached? like USB-based audio input? Griffin makes one of those for example. Would be great to get line-in for recording through USB.

Actually there is some confusion about the USB Host hack - that's only for storage support (like thumb drives and probably self powered external storage as well). A USB keyboard worked for me even without the hack.
But a USB mouse did not. As for other peripherals, they will probably be recognized, but without drivers or apps to utilize them they probably won't actually do anything. I actually have a few devices I tried for the heck of it (including a USB sound device) but none of them worked.
i cannot but i have loaded Tiamat 1.1.5 and ordered that product, i will report back my findings
Anyone find a good online store in the US that sells the proper USB host cable?
What do u guys think of this one? http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=mi...+usb+femmale&_sop=7&_stpos=60612&gbr=1&_rdc=1. Would this work as good as the other one you listed? Reason I'm asking is because this is one is in the states and won't take a month to deliver. Not exaggerating either...lol.
Has anyone gotten this hack to work with a USB card reader? Because my main reason for doing this hack was to be able to pull photos off of camera memory cards while out in the field for reviewing and back up purposes, but so far I am only able to attach a thumb drive, which obviously does me no good
I think I read somewhere that the person who also did the hack tried to get his memory card reader which worked for him.Has anyone gotten this hack to work with a USB card reader?

The Nokia CA-157 cable doesn't look like the same micro usb as the XOOM. Does it fit?
Can we compile a list of compatible cables? So far it seems like the only working cable is the one from China on eBay, and he appears to be sold out.

i tried an SDHC card reader and it worked fine. My guess is that anything that uses MSC mode should work (assuming the Xoom can fulfill the power requirements).
Adam's specs are Thickness: ~14 mm (0.551"), Width: 191 mm (7.52"), Length: 269 mm (10.59")
So it could have been done, isn't Xoom 12.9mm, roughly 0.5"?

I ordered one of these http://www.meritline.com/micro-usb-type-b-male-to-usb-a-female-cable-black---p-62877.aspx
Also got these from here http://www.dealextreme.com/p/micro-usb-on-the-go-host-otg-adapter-pair-50774
I am not sure if this Original Nokia one makes a difference http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ca-157-micro-usb-otg-to-usb-data-cable-53765

Can anyone confirm or deny NTFS support? I would hate to have to reformat my drives.

I just got this little adapter from NewEgg.com for $4.99. Ordered it yesterday and got it today. Haven't had a chance to test it yet but it is confirmed to work with a keyboard so I'm hoping if it hosts that it will host a flash drive. Will give an update once I configure my Xoom for it and test.
