I’ve been finally able to get USB Host working on the PlayBook so now i can carry with lots more movies or watch the camera images directly on the PB. I posted a demo vídeo to show it working:
I’ll be posting instructions soon on how to do this on your PlayBook, so keep checking here for updates.
UPDATE: Instructions here: playbook USB host – eltecnoblog

Looks good. Is this as simple as creating an automount script to mount the USB stick and is the cable simply a micro USB connector soldered to a socket?

December 29th, 2011 10:42 AM
I just thought I would inquire as to the status of the tutorial/writeup for this, when do you think the ETA is for that?
December 30th, 2011 4:00 AM

Hey man, stop promising something you can’t deliver! Let’s face it, if you have not got to it by now, you will never get to it. Ok so maybe you are very busy, but there are many people around the world that are even busier than you are and still find the time to help others. Maybe you started with the intention of helping us, but now the only thing that you are doing is making everyone anxious and frustrated. So maybe with this comment you will stop teasing all of us and help us out!!!! By the way, I was going to try to do it my self, but I could not understand a word you said. This is what I can’t understand “so with a little help from Dingleberry and chicker shullaxis from hellabate I’ve been doing some testing”. Now, I know what Dingleberry is, but what in the Hell is “chicker shullaxis from hellabate”!!!!

@Joseph
no point being rude. at least he had time to do this video – even if its a fake, its a decent fake !!
January 3rd, 2012 1:24 AM
Please be honest here Sir, do you really have the instructions? If you do, can you please put them up. It will only take a couple of minutes but will make a lot of people happy. You did come back after your iniyial post of the video to let us know that, “you were late and were going to do it later on today” – so, again, please do it or at least let us know that you won’t or can’t do it and that we we start looking some where else.
Hope you will read this and really do something good very very very soon or am I just dreaming in La La Land? Just let us know.
Thank you!

For those interested in this, head over to crackberry rooting forum. A few of us have gotten pretty close to figuring this out. I think a few of the memebers who are a bit more talented have figured this out. We just need to document the instructions. The RIM_usbmgr-Winchester is the driver that turns on/off the USB host mode. I just need to figure out how to access it.

Hello dablessing:
I hope you and other ‘smart’ & ‘intelligent’ geniuses like you can come up with instructions on doing this. I would really be a neat thing to do with our playbooks. I think Mr. Guillem who posted this video won’t or perhaps cannot do it. It is really rude of him not to at least let everybody know when so many of us are counting on him to do something that he promised he will go many days ago.
Thanks!

Hi Joseph,
I understand you being a bit upset about not having the howto. I was really hoping to post it much earlier but really haven’t had time.
Anyway, i don’t see any need to be rude as Salmander says. I’m doing this to help anyone with a PlayBook and i think it is a nice contribution, but i really don’t expect anyone to be so agresive.
By the way, i’m finishing the howto on doing this so you will see this is no fake.
Hope it helps everyone there with a PlayBook.
Thanks
January 4th, 2012 1:08 AM
Thanks Salmander. I’m totally with you. Despite being quite slow on publishing the howto (will be up today) I see no point on pushing people and getting so anoyed…
Thanks for your support
January 4th, 2012 1:08 AM
Will be up today!
January 4th, 2012 2:18 AM
Hi Guillem:
It’s Gulliver here again. Thanks sooooooooo much for being in touch and thanks for your efforts. On behalf of countless others like me, we are gratefull for your contribution. I can’t wait to get this going on my playbook.
Regards,
Gulliver

Just left a link on the initial post to help people find instructions.
February 2nd, 2012 1:03 PM
@david horgan they’ve been up for a while! just posted a link to them on the original article.
April 29th, 2012 1:44 PM
INSTRUCTIONS PLZ!! If you can’t clarify your position then this videos is deemed to be fake!
April 30th, 2012 1:08 PM
There is a new post since months ago with the instructions. It’s even linked on the original post. Please check things before getting mad.
