Based on a toy model of coexistence of the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) and magnetic coupling (MC) processes with a non-axisymmetric magnetic field, we explain a puzzling 3:2:1 ratio of the high-frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (HFQPO) in XTE J1550-564. It turns out that two frequencies of the HFQPO can be fitted by two rotating magnetic hotspots arising from the MC process, and the other HFQPO frequency is related to a magnetic hotspot produced in the BZ process. Based on the block of the medium shell surrounding a black hole we discuss the astrophysical environment required by the transition between low/hard (LH) and steep power-law (SPL) states and the association of jet and HFQPOs with the LH and SPL states observed in XTE J1550-564.
