USB, not SD
i was able to find it after some searching. i need to root and install the 1.4.0 kernal than flash to 1.4.1 and use a usb host adapter. thanks for the replies guys
And make sure the cable is an otg (on the go) cable as it has an extra pin (I think) which lets the xoom know its hosting
Can't vouch for this one working but it shows the kind of thing

Hi!
i'm a photographer and would be please to directly read my photos on the touchpad with and usb memory card reader ... any project seen on that ?

I would also like to know about this.

I'm also a photographer so this would be very useful for me. It'd be great to be able to backup an SD to the Touchopad when on location.
The other option I'm considering is an Eye-Fi SD card or two so I can wirelessly transfer images. It should work.

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll wait a while to see if it can be done before investing in an Eye-Fi card.
It actually might be possible there is a thread on it at precentral

It's definitely possible, people are doing it.
It just requires several cables (one an OTG), an AC-powered USB hub and your time. I'd rather be able to just plug in one cable/device.
We have the port, just need the OS to use it correctly. As I understand it, USB is USB - data-wise. Maybe one of the talented PreWare devs can write a patch we can load eventually.

It won't work. Buy or send for the Motorola Camera Connection Kit which is a real OTG cable or check the Accessories section for recent theads on other tested OTG cables. It's the only way to use the Xoom in usb host mode.
wow! Ok, mmm i'll search for a OTG for Nokia Cellphone that will work?

There is one advertised on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227483. I'm not certain that the Nokia cable will work, but if it is regular usb on one side and micro usb on the other, and is true OTG pin-out, it should work.

I'm assuming you want to connect something to the Xoom and have the Xoom in usb host mode.
Is your new cable a usbOTG cable? If so we can probably get it to work. If it is just a regular usb female to micro male cable it won't work, because OTG has a different pin configuration.

As I understood, I can't get it work, is there any other rom that I can get it work with?
If not, can u give me amazon link for one of the cable you have?
Otg has different pin, but I remember one guy made it work with making an installation file for motorola milestone which I have (with froyo), is there anyway like this to get it work? Or fake the pin ?

The link avobe is for a cable sold on ebay. You have to be a bit careful because some say OTG but they aren't. The official Motorola Camera Connection Kit is a small cable that is a proven OTG.
If you are rooted the Tiamat Hammerhead Rom or the Tachi kernel give USBOTG support.
There are also some free apps that help to mount//unmount the drive.

One app is called USB Watcher OTG and another is Drive Mount. They should both be in the market.
Has the xoom come out with the software update to use the media card yet? if yes, how is the experience for reading from and writing to the card. Can you watch a video that is on the card?
Also can an external harddrive plug into the usb and can read from and write to the external?
Thanks

The answer to all of your questions is YES.
The most recent update enabled read only access to the external micro sdcard UNLESS you are rooted. Then you can have read/write access.
IF you are rooted, you can use the Xoom in usb host mode with a usbOTG cable and access (read/write to) thumb drive, external hard drive, etc, as well as use usb keyboard, mouse, controller, etc.
Wait, without root, you can still use your USB controllers, keyboard and mice. Also without root, you will be able to play videos off your USB drive connected via OTG cable. You won't be able to write to it.
I have not seen one compelling reason to root yet. My Xoom does everything just fine stock.

Great! I'm glad to hear it.
Hi,
I've a Xoom 3G w/ Tiamat 2.2.1..... I do plug devices on my usb port, but nothing happens. When, using the OTG adapter, I plug a usb connected to the computer, then the computer can read the contents of my xoom (so, I think that my otg adapter, which by the way has a Motorola symbol and SKN6252A writen, is working properly).
What am I doing wrong?

So if I have video file that I want to play on my xoom. I should copy to a SD card or thumb drive. If thumb drive I need to have a OTG cable to connect my xoom to my usb drive? I am not understanding and I am at work so my google and browsing is limited (i am just glad they let me have xda).

Yes, you can copy a video to your sdcard and watch it or onto a thumb drive or HDD and connect with an OTG cable. There are a couple of free apps that help with host mode.
I use DVD Catalyst to convert my ripped dvds to watch on the Xoom and it works great with my 32gb class 10 sdhc card.

Are you rooted? If you are rooted and are having trouble using usb host mode, there are some things you can do to help it along. To my knowledge (which is admittedly limited, as I been rooted from day 2) you can't use usb host mode with out a custom kernel or rom which allows it. Stock doesn't give this access as far as I know. BlazinGTI says it's possible, and if so, that is great!

Isnt that implying that without rooting the xoom, you can access these features? Perhaps he meant, the opposite

I seems that he was telling me that I was incorrect to say that this was only possible once rooted. I don't think he's right, but I could be the one that's wrong...

Wasn't telling anyone that they were wrong. But I am able to access my thumb drive READ ONLY with the OTG cable. Which, for me, works.

but are you rooted? and what thumb drive are you using? how is it formatted?
I don't think I understand this completely, can someone please explain? Can my completely stock xoom read/write a micro sd card, and does the micro sd card have have to be formatted in any way? Thanks in advance.

Your stock non-rooted Xoom should be able to read from micro sdcard to play music/video files, etc. I don't think writing is possible. I've never had to reformat but I think fat thirty two should wouk just fine.
before i'm buying this phone,does htc one s support usb otg ?
it's really big deal for me when it doesn't support
It looks like that you need a adaptor with external power support.
I also looked for a while and I wasn't able to find another solution. Maybe there will be a root-way soon

You probably meant that link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629134&highlight=usb+host
It works alright
I have the phone ages and only thought to try recently.
This is the first thread that pops up for me on Google, so I'll answer it for anyone wondering.
I have a cheap ebay adaptor a day and it reads and writes just fine
It seems to be hit and miss, I can't get it to work reliably no matter what I try, different adaptors, different usb sticks (there's definitely more of a problem with some sticks), different otg helper apps.
I have an adaptor on order which also has a power in socket, maybe that will work.
