That's the right cable but comes from China. I ordered that EXACT cable.
It'll take forever to get to you. Better off with a SKORPN cable. His are guaranteed too.

If you don't want to wait you can make one yourself easily: Just connect the first pin of the micro USB to the 4th. Worked fine for me.
The schematic was created by MotoCache1!

Don't want to sound offensive, but if that post and attached picture isn't clear enough, you might be best just buying a cable. There have been a few instances of people damaging their kindle when they get the soldering wrong.

Hi,
I bought a cheap USB OTG cable (£2), which was supposed to work on the Galaxy Nexus, but doesn't seem to.
I will probably buy another one anyway (any recommendations which one I should buy, and where), but I just wondered if there was anyway I could modify the one I have to work with a USB drive?
Cheers
Stewart
ebay seller iTrimming sells a working OTG host cable for GNex.

Sorry, should have said before. I have tried StickMount - no go! The stick doesn't even light up when connected.
And I would prefer a UK seller! Thanks though!!
Ordered one from iTrimming!
Hopefully should work ok!
Could I get this adapter and us it with the custom JellyBean ROMs? (specifically Viscious Liquid 4.1.1-V1).
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-HDMI-MHL-Adapter/dp/B005NG71K8
It looks like that one goes to a regular HDMI (instead of micro HDMI) which is nice, and also has the USB port extended for charging as well.
Thanks!
I can't say if it's the exact same or not, but mine looks identical to that one, right down to the writing on it. I got it from monoprice (actually cablesonsale.ca, which sells monoprice stuff in Canada). It works great.
The micro USB port isn't just for charging though... you have to plug it in for the adapter to work. At least with mine, anyway.

Do usb jigs actually work?
I'm considering getting this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Jig-Don...T989-T-Mobile-Galaxy-Y-GT-S5360-/251078477130
But is there a point to it?

You can make one yourself with a simple usb micro b cable and a resistor, I forget what strength it needs to be, but it's really dead simple to make one of these. And you can basically do the same thing already by holding down Vol+ and - with power during boot up.

For those not technically inclined though this might be a good way to force your SII into ODIN flash mode if you can't get to it other ways. Beware this likely won't work with most cases for the SII.
For the technically inclined (familiar with soldering, wire stripping, etc etc), just make your own.
If I remember correctly, mostly cause I bricked my wife's vibrant is the resistance that is needed is 301k and I didn't have a high jigg though I almost made one

Yes they work really good actually. I bought one from amazon for $5 a couple months ago just to have it in case I ever needed it.
Thats good to know thanks
Has anyone had success using one of these adapters (the cheap passive ones) for utilizing a PS/2 keyboard on the Kindle, of course going into a powered USB hub? I'd like to hopefully find a cheap solution because I currently do not own a USB keyboard, only an old PS/2 style. I figured I would ask first before I shelled out a much needed $1 for the adapter. I've tried searching on Google (a half fast search I'll admit) but learned I might need an active adapter for this purpose. Maybe someone can help me out with this question.

I didn't want to chance it as I heard a couple stories of people frying their keyboard by using this adapter. I just went ahead and purchased a USB keyboard.

Good morning,
in many threads here I found the recommendation to use a fastboot cable. I have recently rooted my Kindle Fire 2, it works like a charm, but I want to install a "true" Android on it because Amazon changed too many things which are annoying me. It's some kind of an Apple device...
But back to my question. Installing a CustomROM without a fastboot cable seems to be NOT RECOMMENDED (or impossible?)
Therefore: Where in Germany (or Europe) can I get a fastboot cable? Is maybe some kind of other cable known to be compatible?

I bought it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20380015#post20380015 and I live in Italy
mine is also from SkOrPn - had it within 4 days - to austria !
You might also try amazon uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0099E59SG.
I don't know if they ship to the rest of europe, but it's worth a try.

The cable that boots the Kindle Fire into fastboot mode is more generally known and advertised as a Motorola factory cable.

The last things I need are more cables, so I bought an adapter instead which converts your Kindle standard cable to a fastboot cable.. It worked perfectly, managed to brick my KF2 on the first attempt! However, it took a week to arrive by post from the USA to Marseille in France, which was very fast. Shipping is a bit steep, though. Take a look:

Yep, you only need to jump pin 1 to pin 4 to make a fastboot cord.
