I have upgraded the BIOS to the latest one and haven't noticed that it lost most of my BIOS configs in the result of the upgrade. I have re-applied the settings and my BT is back, suddenly, so I think there's something in the generic settings that stops BT from working. I have also notices, that tonight my machine has survived the sleep. We will see how it will behave today.

I have also noticed while reapplying the BIOS settings, that there is USB configuration that I think allows turning off particular USB ports one by one, identified by their numbers. Have you seen it? Wouldn't it be a better solution than loading USBInjectAll kext and applying SDTD patches? I would've think the more OOB and the less kexts and patches, the better.

Something is weird with your system... When I update my BIOS, all BIOS settings are reset to factory default and I have to re-apply everything again.

Yes, I know that USB ports can be activated/deactivated individually. As far as I know, we still need to employ the used of SSDT and USBInjectAll.kext. Envision a laptop with only 3 USB ports, that's obviously under the 15 port limit, but SSDT and USBInjectAll.kext are still needed.

How is that something strange with my system if it behaved the same way as yours? The only difference was that I wasn't expecting that and I thought settings are preserved, when they aren't.

Okay, I wasn't aware the patch is still needed on machines with less ports.

I thought that your settings were preserved.

Sir,

I couldn't get my front usb 3.1 to work... Even while enable pmheart patch.
And I have a more intriguing problem giving that sleep, reboot and shutdown makes my computer reboot with a kernel panic.

Thank you for you kind support, I feel like I'm almost there !

Try to make an SSDT for USB. I still feel that's the best solution.

Are your front USB 3.1 ports gen 1 or gen 2?

What is the kernel panic? Attach your EFI folder.

Here is my efi.

EDIT: I finally have front usb working with help of this efi/clover folder => clover

But I still have kernel panics while trying to sleep, reboot or shutdown the computer...
Maybe is something related to my bios...

You should consult the person who made that EFI folder. It's vastly different from what I have and there are things on there that I've never tried.

Just got my Vega 64 today, yay! A few noob questions:

When adding the uia_exclude flag for the USB fix do I remove the other flags there? (-igfxbeta -alcbeta shikigva=60 -lilubetaall -ngfxbeta) on your screenshot I only see the excluded ports and no other flags.

Since I am using the SSDT-USB.aml + uia_exlucde flag I must delete USBInjectAll.kext and disable PMHeart's patch correct?

The ´EFI for AMD RX500-Vega r3.zip´ includes NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext, is this necessary for AMD GPU's or is it there by mistake?

Are you using the antenna that came with the motherboard?

No, you leave the existing flags there. Just add the uia_exclude flag after the others. Leave 1 space after the existing flags.

No. Disable any 15 port limit KextsToPatch. Leave USBInjectAll.kext installed.

Just leave the NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext there. It won't cause any harm.

No, I'm using the following type of antenna because I don't want the cable that the included antenna uses.

Hi pastrychefs manny thanks for your guide, i just bought very similar hardware except the board, yours is -G and mine is -F (G wasn't available when i bought it), do you know if i can use your EFI folder without any problems?

Thanks again
