ERROR FIXEDX - R-200KOhm to GND PIN 2 and 3 short is corect for charging APPROVED
CORRECTThe pin outs were correct. The description of which pins are shorted to get the phone into charge mode was also correctAPPROVED
ERROR FIXEDit"s 200k or 220kAPPROVED

INCORRECTin the corrected section the pins for charging are marked as corrected but the text and table are still wrong, see http://krhainos.tk/motoplug.jpg for detailsAPPROVED
CORRECTAPPROVED
CORRECTConfirmed via resistance testing and also via attempting charge a RAZR via a normal USB A - USB mini cable from a USB solar panel with negative results. Creating a cable from Motorolas original wall chargers USB mini connector and a regular USB A cable allows it to charge from a USB solar panel.APPROVED
CORRECTConfirmed working with 220k resistor. D- can be connected before or after the resistor without any negative effect.APPROVED
CORRECTI opened the AC charger while soldering a broken wire. I was able to verify the connections (pin1: +5VDC, pin4: GND ), and the value of the resistor (200K) between pin4 and pinX. After soldering the broken wire, I connected to the cell phone and started recharging without any problems. I also took some pics to save with the documentation.APPROVED

INCORRECTThe directions are mostly correct. I found that pin 3 did need to be connected to x and 2 and the wire absolutely needed to be continuous to both ends of the cable. You can see a picture of the completed circut on the breadboard I used at the link below. Ill probably solder it all into a compact cable. I tried to diagram it in text also, but I worry that it will get formated strange when I hit submit.

INCORRECTThe new moto chargers (p/n: SPN5185B) came with Moto Q/Q9/V195 have pin 2 and pin 3 shorted together, pin x and pin 5 has 200K Ohm resistor across. Pin 2 and pin x are **NOT** shorted.
