Hi Guys,
yesterday I did a clean install of 10.13.1 and used MB 9.2.1. It works pretty well except the USB 3.0 ports. All ports are working with USB 2.0 devices, but only one of the front panel USB 3.0 ports is able to recognize USB 3.0 devices.

As a config template I used this guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...or-gtx-750-ti-using-clover-el-capitan.180966/

that means i enabled the following options in multibeast:
:ch: Drivers > USB > 7/8/9 Series USB Support <----Rehabman's two FakePCIID kexts
:ch: Drivers > USB > Increase Max Port Limit ####### in MB 9.2.1 the additional text for "9 series" is added #######

BIOS
:ch: Peripherals > XHCI Mode > Auto <--- Smart Auto gives you problems with USB peripherals

I found other posts about this topic but with other mainboards or Multibeast versions.
I'm hoping there is a simple fix for that ;-)

If it is too much risk to damage things by trying to fix this, I would live with just one USB 3.0 port, because I'm not very experienced with this topics - but I can follow guides :)

That saying - GREAT WORK GUYS for the great guides all around here! I pretty happy with my Hackintosh - for Details pls check the signature.

Kind regards,
Mike

If you still need help, try this method.

Using Clover Configurator, mount the EFI, edit the config.plist/Kernel & Kext Patches/KextsToPatch name AppleUSBXHCIPCI as follow:
Find: 837D8C10
Replace: 837D8C1B
Comment: Change 15 port limit to 24 in XHCI kext 10.13 PB1

Put USBInjectAll.kext file in the EFI\clover\kexts\other folder.

It worked fine for me.

Good Luck!

Thanks, this totally worked for me!
 
Not working in my case. And I already had those settings as a preset. :crazy:

I found a solution for my Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI. Now all of USB 3.0 ports are working (on MOBO and front case panel).

Similar to @the509man I used this process:

  • Mount EFI Partition with Clover Configurator
  • Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/
  • Right-click open config.plist with Clover Configurator
  • Click Kernel and Kext Patches under SECTIONS of Clover Configurator
  • Click the “+” button near the bottom to add this patch:

- Name*: com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI (not PCI)
- Find* [HEX]: 837D880F 0F83A704 0000
- Replace* [HEX]: 837D880F 90909090 9090
- Comment: Change 15 port limit to 24 in XHCI kext 10.13.x
- MatchOS: 10.13.x
It should look like that: 386561


  • In CloverConfigurators left-side menu navigate to Kext Installer.
  • In top right corner choose OS ver. (10.13)
  • Scroll down to kext 'USBInjectAll' from @RehabMan and download it. It will be automatically inserted in 'EFI\clover\kexts\10.13'.
  • Save config.plist .
  • Restart your Hackintosh and enjoy!
