[Guide] 10.11+ USB changes and solutions

Does everything check out in ioreg?

I didn't look at it. It is way too large... likely not from v2.1, and not as a ZIP.

the Extension cable is 2m i guess length affects it then? this is the cable I've got. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00P0ES0QM/?tag=tonymacx86-21

No experience with USB3 extension cables.

Your hub has a product name of "USB2.0 Hub". I don't know if that is a side effect of the bad cable, or how it normally identifies itself.

Ill try a other cable it could be a defective HUB.

Its the hub. Ive tried it on my 4530s also and only gets seen as USB2 which sucks. Thanks for your help.

Support for USB3 on the 4530s is not very good (unless you're running Windows or Linux).

Ive got windows 10 on my Probook. Ive also got Yosemite on it now also and gets seen as USB 2 so i guess its the hub. Ill do some googling about. Just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a USB 3 issue on my hack.

Trying my best to understand all this.

So far I know I have successfully renamed EHC1/EHC2 to EH01/EH02 respectfully. This is confirmed in IOReg (v2.1). In Clover I also have change_OSI to XOSI added to the DSDT patches (with SSDT-XOSI.aml in the ACPI > Patched folder.

In Clover > Kexts > Other folder I have the USBInjectAll kext, and in Clover > Kexts > 10.11 I have the FakePCIID and FakePCIID_XHCIMux kexts.

I have 4 accessible USB2 ports on my computer (two at the front, two at the rear) and 5 USB3 ports (one at the front, four at the rear). All of these ports in IOReg are designated 'HPxx' though and I am not sure that is as it should be, as this includes USB3 connections. I have seen others, and as shown in the first post, typically refer to IOReg showing USB2 as HS and USB3 as SSP. As it is for me, HP17, 18, 25 and 26 are my USB2 ports, and my USB3 ports are HP12 through to HP 16. I did the F4 Clover trick to plant a DSDT.aml into the original subfolder in ACPI and in there, with MackiASL I do see listings of HS01 to HS08 and SSP1 and SSP2.

Is my next step to do a custom port injector, or have I gone wrong somewhere already?

Describe problem clearly and concisely. Read post #1, "Problem Reporting".

Thank you for all your contributions RehabMan - amazing. The gray matter between my ears is exhausted. Can you please explain (simply) how to rename EHCx to EHOx, or give me a link? I gave up on Clover Configurator, as you reported it was buggy and am using PlistEdit Pro. I have Clover loading with UEFI; have placed FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext into the 10.10 and 10.11 folders; and, have read and reread #1 and its links way too many times. It is not clear at all.
