I'm getting excited .. the link you sent me does it include everything? I guess I'll order it and start testing but I won't be back in town until the 28... by that time the part would have arrived ..

thanks again for your time and efforts ..

I ordered mine from Amazon but like I said, eBay has them too.

To answer your question, the one I linked to you does include all of the necessary components.

I don't mind assisting you at all, it drives me nuts knowing ther people have the same configuration and can't get the installer to boot!

It's not in Clover Configurator yet. You just have to copy and paste it from the first post and make up the middle digits of the serial number.

I see. I don't get off work until 4pm EST so I'll update once I try it out. Thanks.

Update: Changing the SMBIOS definition didn't change the kernel panic. Still crashes at IOBluetoothHostControl.

In the end, you should have the following:

• The APIC patch for the beginning in KextsToPatch in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
• The USBInjectAll kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/...
• A SSDT-USB.aml in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ to configure the correct ports for your motherboard
• If you have more than 15 total USB entries in the SSDT, a boot argument to disable some of them so the total is 15 or fewer. This should probably be in Boot/Arguments in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist

Thank you very much for your write up, very easy to follow.
How does one go about enabling the ssdt, I put it in patch folder of my efi boot partition drive, I removed usbinjectall kext and repair permissions but I lose all my usb after reboot. I only get my usb back with the usbinjectall kext. my board has 20 ports I flag 5 HS/SS 01-02 and HS06

The motherboard is a GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5

USBInjectAll.kext is not optional. It is the code that reads the info provided by the SSDT.

Thank you very much RehabMan, you always seem to have all the answers.

I am only getting 10 USB ports showing up on IORegistry explorer and none of them are super speed when my board has USB3, i am on a z170X Gaming 7 board from Gigabyte... Have i missed something?

Hello

Not a user of the Z170X, but should ask, are you using the USBInjectAll.kext file from the original post?

Yeah i have it in both my .10 and .11 folder. is there a way to check its being picked up? To be sure i just installed it with KextBeast. I have attached screenshots from profiler and IOService.

Update:

Actually this was the case, i had assumed that clover would install kexts from the .10 and .11 folders at boot but obviously not. I correctly installed with KextBeast and i saw all of the usb devices listed in there registry app. My usb 3.1 (Typa a) port does not seem to work at all though, i expect this will be the same for the Type C port. Can anyone suggest what i need to do for this? Will following the Getting right part of the guide fix this? All other ports seem to be working without issue so i am wondering whether to continue with the guide?

Interesting. All of my ports on the ASUS Z170-A work, with the exception of the USB 3.1 type A/C. The thing is, I didn't have to use KextBeast to install the USBInjectAll.kext file, simply placing it inside the 10.10 and 10.11 folders did the trick.
