Y Cable Method Not Working

I have an HD7 with bootloader in the 5.xx series. I've bought a simple Y-Cable, female adapter, and 1gb sd card. Used the correct method to download the goldcard, format SD, and rename the .sbh file to SCHUIMG. I'm not sure what is going on but no matter what, no power gets to my card reader while using the Y-cable.
I even went the route of making my own Y-cable using a couple extra USB's i had laying around. I don't know what to do.
I DO get power with my card reader when I plug it directly into my usb on my laptop, but NOT through the wall outlet. BUt with the Y-cable, I can't get power through the usb drive.
If your not getting any power to the card reader... Try this,
Plug the power supply of the Y cable in first, then connect the card reader to the Y cable and lastly connect the device while it's in USB host mode.
If your still your not getting power to it, try switching around the connections on the Y cable between the device and card reader.
Also once you put the device into USB host mode and connect it to the Y cable and it doesn't start the flash process, you have to disconnect the device from the Y cable, pull the battery and re-enter USB host mode again for it to recognize the Y cable connection and re-start the flash process.
If it's still unsuccessful I would recommend trying a different card reader as this is the most common problem when it's stuck in "Enter USB Host Mode". I had the same problem with my card reader, I went and bought a SanDisk 5 in 1 card reader and the flash process started immediately as soon as I connected the device to the Y cable.

I've switched stuff around all different ways, got to be the card reader as the LED doesn't turn on when plugged to the cable..but will be on while in USB drive of laptop.
My y cable doesn't have a labeled power end.

USB-OTG problems

Hi all
I can't get my usb-otg to connect to anything at all! I tried using a thumb drive, a mouse, a keyboard and even a RTL-SDR dongle. Nothing happens! All of the usual otg checking apps say that the phone supports otg, however, it fails to detect any device I plug in. The HTC website says that our phone should support usb-otg. Does anyone else have this problem?
Please help!!
I'm having the same issue too. Been looking around for a solution but can't find one.
I am having a smiler problem. The USB-OTG detects a USB flash drive fine, but says the phone USB is in "host mode" so it can not access the drive.
When I plug my RTL dongle in (for SDR Touch) it does not detect it at all, does not even power it up.
And if you connect the external 5V? I want to buy this phone and use the OTG, someone else can share their experience?

Sandisk otg can't detect

I have sandisk ultra dual USB drive and it just works in my phone viq otg until recently it stopped working. Whenever I want to plug in the USB drive on my phone it just can't detect. I have tried on my sister's phone and it works fine. I have also mounted other USB drive on my phone but it still can't be detected. Anyone knows why?

Probably your USB port. Try USB cable to computer. See if that works.

using usb otg and charging at same time.

I have type C hub which have micro sd , sd , usb(for storage OTG) and micro usb slot for charging. It dont charge phone via micro usb cable if I use any storage device with it. but if i only put micro usb cable it charges. is there any mode which can tweak phone to do both ? my device is rooted and with RR os.
up anyone here xda member have tried ?
Everything seems to be pointing to the fact that charging and OTG doesn't work at the same time on Oneplus 3/3t and 5/5t. There's powered OTG cables, but these only power the external device and not the phone.

October update, broken USB OTG.

After I updated my XZ2 to v. 52.0.A.11.3 (October update), the ability to use USB OTG on my phone has been broken ever since.
I have been using USB-C card reader everyday even before I bought this phone. I tested that my card reader is not broken, it works flawlessly on my girlfriend's Samsung devices as well as on my laptop.
Is there anyone else having the same issue after the update and how can I fix it? Thanks.
Also updated to October update. I had no issue with my OTG cable + usb flash drives / usb card reader. Maybe its specific to your card reader.

My card reader brand is Ugreen. When I plugged it into my phone, I can't tap the USB notification to explore or unmount like I always do. I am wondering why it only happens with XZ2 not other devices and only after this update for me.
