The pins of the original cable are right, but it does not throw it into host mode automatically. The scripts work, or get one of the micro-b to mini-b adapters, scrape back the insulation and shielding and solder a small switch between the black and brown wires. The switch "on" (shorting) makes it an "A". Then get a retractable mini-B to USB A - the whole thing will be more compact.
