Ok, i'd like to start off by giving all credit to the Hostmode development team and especially MohammadAG for making it possible and easy to run USB hostmode on the N900.

This is a tutorial on how to get USB hostmode to work even when you can't get your hands on those rare female-to-female usb cables. If you can get it then there is no need to read the rest of this post

Let's start then.
What you will need:
1. An old motherboard(never to be used again) with USB ports like the one's found in the pictures below.
2. A soldering iron.( I used a candle )
3. Pliers
4. Four Jumpers
5. Tape

Take the motherboard and melt away the soldering to remove the USB ports.


1. I don't have a soldering iron so i used a candle to melt the soldering(In the Red circles).


2. Use the pliers to gently pull it out.


3. Once removed, use the four jumpers to connect the opposing pins, and tape them in place.


Done! :-)
