Hi folks,
this is for everyone who can not get a serial cable or who is unable to wait for a cable after ordering it.
I modified my USB cradle and added a serial cable to it.
My cradle is a T-Mobile MDA 2 german one,
but I think others are the same.
Here is a small, pictured, description how I did it.

Now You can read Your roms to sd or do all other serial things.
Be sure that You are able to do the soldering things. If not better keep Your hands out of it.
Hi,
I've got a 9090, do I need to get a new incar charger and usb cable for the Tornado or will what I already have work ok?
Thanks
Doug
Hi everyone,
I have bought a usb cable to mini-b and it seems incompatible with desire.
It can charge the mobile, but I can't sync.
In htc page you can read:
Standard micro-USB
(5-pin micro-USB 2.0)
It might be my cable defective.
Sorry for my enlglish. I'm learning,
I read somewhere some cables dont have a data pin on it, so it will charge but not transfer data. You need to make sure on the package it states it is a data cable.
data cable
I've just bought that one , working

some cable are only working for charging -I bought an adaptater before)
hi
This was really very helpful information. I really appreciate everything. Very much Thanks!

I was wondering if there is any such device / cord which would convert the Asus proprietary plug on the transformer to a USB cord or something so I could plug in different things without having to buy the keyboard....
Yes it does exist:http://www.asus.com/Peripherals_Accessories/Eee_Pad_Accessories/External_USB_Adapter/
Could you charge the tablet with a regular USB cable using that adapter?
Only when in deep sleep or turned off - but it charges.

No because the USB adapter linked only outputs 5v on the USB port, its not an input.
The USB socket is the wrong type for normal USB cables used for charging, but even a USB-A to USB-A adapter wont allow charging and may even destroy the USB adapter (well, it might not, but I certanly wouldnt want to try it!)
That is sort of what i was afraid of. I was hoping that since I can use the propietary cable, I would be able to switch to a longer cable with the help of the adapter.

Just attach an usb3.0 cable to the propietary cable. Then you have a longer cable.
I'am using this with the tablet and charger.
It has to be USB 3.0 cable? Dang, I actually do have an older extension cable somewhere (forgot all about it until I read your post) but it is pre-3.0, but hey, if i find it I will at least give it a try, not like something would brake, right? Right??
hmm...I had asked this in my thread, but no one has given me a straight answer. Looks like it wouldn't work even with Male A to Male A. I already bought one, so maybe I'll give it a try. Has anyone done so before?

Yes, it must be a usb 3.0 cable.
I have this one and can charge the tablet with this cable attached to the propietary cable and the asus charger
Just tried it again and it is now charging.
That is cool, but I was hoping it would be in a "cord" form because imagine you would have that sticking out from your device, then on top of that you would have your usb plug sticking out as well...
Also, would this work with something like a wireless keyboard and mouse? (the wireless receiver is USB)...
I'm looking for the pinout to make a dev cable or if someone is selling one please let me know.
i'm looking also for pinout of this cable
wondering whether i can use uc-e6 cable with pinout below?

Looking for the pinout of the dev cable as well... I have one of these and plan to start building LOS for it. I came up with the UC E6 as well but according to Wikipedia it's "non-USB" so makes me wonder if they're using a different pinout.
it has been a while since this got asked but here is the actual pinout for the connector https://github.com/Stricted/adt1-pinout
you can find the plugs on ebay with the search term "Mini USB 8Pin"
enjoy, have fun
