Saw picture of someone cutting out the dock for the playbook and allowing charging and using usb can they both work the dock and usb so we can charge and use usb.
To make sure you haven't done any silly commands that broke USB OTG, first do a reboot of your Playbook.
Then connect over wifi and 'Install' the toggle_usb_host.script in your Scripts folder.
Thanks for all your hard work.
You made it so simple to use and I made it more difficult from stupidity on my part.
For myself the usb folder was always empty until I used WinSCP and went to properties of the usb folder and notice the permission for (others -Read) wasn't ticked off.
Now working perfect.
Thanks again for all your time and effort
Just curious: Did you make the usb folder beforehand (before running script) by yourself?
The script makes the usb folder with correct properties. If this didn't work, there's something for me to fix :P
Perhaps I should add correct properties on each run -- just in case.

Nope didn't make a folder, had to do it for both of my playbooks.
Their was another member in the other root thread with the same problem.
This is the one feature that would make the Playbook unbeatable in my opinion.
I've seen a few android apps that enable USB support.
Is it possible to petition RIM to get them to enable USB support. Being able to transfer pictures from a digital camera to my Playbook would totally rock.

USB support is possible. I can access my camera photos using an SD card reader.
You just have to have the PB rooted and apply the proper dingleberry script.
Well the reason we got it working in the first place is because RIM had added it. In the same way Android has added it (and some manufacturers enable it).
It just doesn't work too well right now on Playbook.
I updated to OS 2 so rooting isn't an option for me. I'm an , I know lol
I did see this app in the android market hope something like this could be developed for the Playbook.
I've tried to write a native app to toggle USB host and toggle the serial USB driver without any luck. Permissions for running the appropriate commands are restricted; can't even change directory to any higher than those contained in the app.
would symlinks help? i set them up so my android file explorer would go to / with "rootlnk" or maybe make a script where the script does the path changes?
