I am attempting to make a Y cable using a few cables that I saw on Ebay, but first I need to know whether it will work or not. This is what I plan on doing:
1. Connect HD7 to original HTC cable
2. Connect the USB end to a female converter
3. Insert a Y cable to the female port (all sides of the Y cable are normal USB 2.0)
4. On one end, insert USB to computer
5. On the other end, add another female converter, and then a micro SD card reader
Do you think this will work? Please, I really need the answer urgently....I'm impatient
Here is a link to a picture I created. It can explain things much better

Thanks in advance, people!
Edit: I found some HD7 unlocking kits which I might be able to use for the goldcard method. Could someone please confirm whether they will work?

please help me to answer this question.
thanks so much
hi, just like you i also need usb cable for my 8010. ive googled high & low but to no avaiL? especially as im in the Philippines . . maybe by this time you have new info? pls help & thanks
Its just a usb-to-micro-usb cable.
thanks, but the micro usb's available on ebay are for motorola & looking at the pics -> - > they look different . .
Micro usb is micro usb. Its a standard.
usb may be a standard, but ...
... apparently the cable ends are not. I've have three different Jabra headsets in the past several years, all of which used a usb charging cable and none of the usb cable ends on the headset side were compatible with each other. I made the mistake of ordering off ebay and the cables I received did not fit my 8010. My advice: Don't buy a usb cable unless the seller can confirm that the cable works with your particular headset.
@kihoalu
thanks very much. if you get wind of a supplier, pls post. im sure there are others who also need this cable
I wish I knew why yours are all different, my 8010 came with a standard micro-USB port. The charger and the computer sync cable are quite normal.
i made it with two male usb cable a htc usb cable and a female adaptor i have wired them up as advised on other threads but windows doesnt recognize my usb stick and my phone when plugged in charges but a no show in zune do i need more power to them any advice please thanks
If you post a picture of it, it would be easier to help you out.
Or, you can go ahead and buy a y cable off ebay. It's only about $5

Hi all,
I recently bought a female to female usb adapter hoping to use it along with the original charging/data cable to get USB host on my phone. It doesn't appear to be working. I have tried several peripherals (flash drive, keyboard etc.).
Is the data cable for the Atrix HD physically different from the OTG cable? I had heard that was the case for another device.
Edit: Sorry, I didn't mean to post this in general. Could a mod please move this to Q&A.
Please keep questions to the Q&A section
Sorry, I meant to post this in Q&A. Could a mod please move this. Thanks!
Micro USB plugs actually have 5 pins whereas the standard has 4. So pin 4 (called the ID pin) is left floating on your normal data cable. However, on an otg cable or adapter, pin 4 is shorted to pin 5 (ground) before everything goes to the rest of the cable. When the phone detects the short on the ID pin, it activates the host function.
You can find cheap adapters that short the pins for you or you can modify your own cable by hacking off the housing on the micro side and soldering a jumper between the pins. Also, for accessories to work, you'll likely need a powered USB hub since the phone won't supply the power for them (at least that's the way in my experience).
Hope this helps. Otherwise, let me know if you have more questions. If you google USB host or USB otg, you'll probably find some good stuff.

Thanks a lot! That totally answers my question. I'm just going to buy an OTG cable.
With the last kernels, our tab is able to recognise usb pen/hd in addiction to a 5 volt power sourge.
My idea (but it si possible that it is a your "old" idea :silly: is to use one of these 3 different solutions:
1) an otg 5in1 adapter conntect with the USB female port to a +5volt charger (no pc in order to don't have problem with data); in this case is it possible to use SD and micro SD ports?
2) modify this other otg 5in1 adapter creating an Y cable in order to have +5volt power; in this case USB/SD/microSD ports ok?
3) no modify with this adapter because it already has a +5volts entry....
Any suggestions or feedback?
Thank you for your attention and sossy for my poor english.
I have a key otg but it does not detect nothing they say that my cell has q have a small voltage other indexes that i have q buy a cable hub to function with the current others say i need a program but all without success help me please!
Im currently trying to find how to get otg capabilities on rooted htcd626s as well. Once i figure it out i will post here for u ok?
the stock Kernel doesn't support it and the board doesn't supply power without a y cable waiting for HTC to post the Kernel source then I'll see if I can get support
If you look at my profile, you will see the other post that I am subscribed to. That is a way to root this phone
Not good news...
Ok so without a power source for the thumb, you won't be able to even see it is there, even with a rooted phone. Sort of like external hard drives for computers. Ever notice how you can't just plug it into the computer, it must also be plugged into an outlet? Same rule applies. There are y cable otg plugs out there, however. Just have to look. Remember, power source, the micro USB, and the female USB hub.
