USB Patch and Apple USB Power Patch Mini Guide
I have managed to get USB Apple USB power for iPhones and iPads working, at least on my system on this mobo. Because a lot of users have been having problems firstly patching their USB ports and also the changes that have impacted this process since Mojave 10.14.1+, I have incorporated this USB patching and the extra USB power features for iPhones and iPads in this mini guide.
Thanks @RehabMan for his initial guide on this & @balazs631 for his simplified mini guide.
Notes:
Installation
- This post is only for the Aorus z370 Gaming 7 v1.0 F11 BIOS. Other mobos in this series may work as they have similar hardware, but I can't confirm this as I only have the Aorus z370 Gaming 7 v1.0. Give it a try.
- I have only tested this on Mohave 10.14.2 (18C54).
- My system definition is iMac18,3 and the files that I have attached are for this build only. This is important, as other model definitions can cause issues e.g iMac14,2. So if you or others are trying to see or get this going, please note this is for iMac18,3 only, as it is what I have and I can only test on this model identifier!
- I have been using the FB-Patcher created USBPorts.kext to get all of my USB ports working. I haven't had time to see if this works with this method, so I have reverted back to the SSDT-UIAC method by @RehabMan. Now I know some people have had a lot of trouble understanding this method, so I have attached a SSDT-UIAC-EC-18.3.aml file that exposes the following USB ports - HS01-HS10 & SS01-SS06. Don't worry if you don't understand this, but please note as I don't know whether you have any USB devices attached to the internal mobo ports e.g
Code:HS07 = F_USB2 (bottom pins) HS08 = F_USB2 (top pins) HS09 = F_USB2 (bottom pins) HS10 = F_USB2 (top pins)
I have these 4 ports marked as internal on my mobo because I have 4 internal devices permanently connected to them. If they are not marked as internal, then you will get sleep problems. E.g the PC will go to sleep, and then immediately awake. For testing purposes and for what I believe most users will have I have only provided this file with all USB ports marked as external.
EFI Folder
Clover config.plist
- Mount you EFI folder using your favourite method.
- If you have been using the USBPorts.kext FB-Patcher, move this file from the /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other directory to somewhere safe...
- If you have been using a patched SSDT-UIAC.aml (or whatever you have called it), file in your /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched directory, then move it as per point 2 above. Later on you can try replacing my SSDT with yours, but to make sure that this process is working for you try mine first as I can't fault find using unknown a SSDT.
- Copy the three attached files into your /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched directory.
Post Installation
- You no longer require and it doesn't work anyway, any 26 port patches in your Kernel and Kext Patches section, so just remove them, or disable them. See mine below: (Note you most probably don't have the 10GBe ethernet card!)View attachment 372852
- In your ACPI section, remove or disable any EHC1, EHC2 or other USB patches. See mine below:View attachment 372855
- Save your config.plist
- Reboot
When you have rebooted if all is well, you should have all USB ports including USB 3 ports.
If you plug in your iPhone or iPad, and then open the USB Tab in System Information app you should get something similar to the following:

My iPhone 6 was around 35% charged, and I connected my USB power meter and it showed that that I was charging at 1200ma. This figure changes (reduces) as the device recharges. See picture below:

I have no other Apple devices to test further, and from what I understand it's only Apple devices that can demand the extra current, and it's unknown to me if this hardware can actually provide the full 2100ma, so I await feedback on this or if anyone finds errors please let me know as I'll try to help.

Even though on my first restart I got a kernel panic (I guess this was due to a removal of the USB cable connected to my Apple Magic Keyboard 2 while in the FileFaul2 Prebooter), I can confirm, that this method is working (I'm on AORUS Gaming 7 z370 with BIOS V7 and Mojave 10.4.2 with a iMac18,3 definition).
Besides my iPhone now being charged faster, my Apple Super Drive started working, too (as it is using 500 mA current + 600 mA extra operating current).
This was the last issue I banged my head around bevor completing my (up until now vanilla build) hackintosh. So now I can finally archive my EFI and clone my system to a backup SSD and use this hackintosh for productive work
FYI: There might be a risk of the MoBo getting damaged if more current than defined by the USB 3.0 specs is flowing through the USB 3.0 ports (though this is just an assumtion as I can't really say anything substancial about that because I'm not an electrician). Therefore, I suggest using only the USB 3.1 ports (e.g. the red USB port on the back) for heavy duty charging with more than 1800 mA, since USB 3.1 ports are build to provide up tp 5000 mA. For further reading, I also suggest this article on USB Charging Power.
Thank you very very much for your help, @jb007 (PS: Your System Info-Screenshot shows your iPhone S/N. You should black that out)!
File Vault is working just fine. Actually literally everything is working without a problem now after I got USB charging to work. I’ll upload my EFI tomorrow when I get back home.
Hi @jiffyslot. Yes you should use 0x67. All of my configuration I’ve uploaded for you should have had this set.

@HackaShaq: Tremendous work by everyone involved! Awesome build! I suggest you add a link to @jb007's mini guide in your build guide, since otherwise it might not be found by other users on this more than 100 pages thread, which would be sad.
