I have modded my demo-vita-3g-turned-retail. So basically, you need to have atleast 4gb memory card (smallest for the vita) to install molecularshell and vitashell then mount the usb drive?
I hope someone can automate the process of mounting the usb drive. And also, it would be nice to make henkaku unlock the internal memory for the phat and install molecularshell/vitashell in there so you wouldn't need a vita memory card.

Well it's exactly as the titles says although here's the story behind this.
After I saw Yifan lu's amazing work on the MPCI-E SD adapter , I downloaded the eagle files and got the pin out for the PS Vita MPCI-E slot , from there I looked at the PS Vita GSM modem and realized the USB pins was all cut off from the PCB with two solder points , after this I did some work and added a USB port using some pins because I couldn't find a actual USB female xD

Where I soldered to the modem
Where I positioned the pins
Finished look
USB Connected(read notes)
UPDATE(MUST READ!!)
So after I yifan lu made me realise the most basic thing I missed (don't solder to the modem solder directly to mb) I fixed my error here are the pictures of the fix and the results.
New wiring layout:
Results that my PS Vita told me using Yifan lu's USB_detect/probe program:
Yeah I like spoilers UPDATE 2:
So I decided to add a proper USB port because pins aren't very practical :/, let the pictures explain the process.
The guts of it:
I had to get rid of a part of the PS Vita circuitry:
All wired up:
Finished look:
Note: Until a driver/plugin that supports this USB connection and mounting is created this is useless.
I also noticed that the PS Vita at some point (very early in me doing this) reacted to the USB and displayed a message "This device is not supported"(probably cause I didn't bother formatting to exFAT at that point)
