Hello, I have many doubts to continue using the hackingtool to enable USB 3.0 ports in my rig. I have mapped my ports and I know which ones I'm going to use.

I have 3 ports on the front

HS04 Is a USB 3.0
HS12 and HS11 are USB 2.0

The rear ones are as follows: The port under HS04 was not recognized when I plugged my pen drive there, but if the rest of them I can use the computer whitout it.



With the hackintool I get this info:



In the screenshot the HS04 has an extenal USB 3.0 drive, but it is only working at 480 Mbps and the HS06 is a USB 3.0 hub from my dell monitor. I don`t know how to make them work at its full speed.

What is next? and I don´t want to something incorrectly.

Here are some other screenshots:

Bootloader:



Here are my Kexts: wich, by the way, I don't know if they are being used or not or many of them what do they work for.



Really I'm really lost here. Do I need to download another Kext, or I'm buiding a new kext. What is the difference between a Kext and a DSDT by the way?

Thanks a lot!

I assume you've exported your USBPorts.kext, copied it to Clover, and rebooted, then cleared / updated the USB list in Hackintool to make sure they're correctly set?

I'm looking into it, thanks for reporting.

I'm not sure, I couldn't install mojave, and Pastrichef gave me a big push sending me me the files contained in ths post:

pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

In case anyone was wondering, yes, it runs...

.

Now when I boot, clover uses those files (I'm kind of lost really because I don't know what they exactly do but, my pc works). However the USB 3.0 ports are not working, so I asked pastrichef about it and he told me: "You need to apply one of the proper USB 15 port limit fixes. There are several ways to do it. You can use Hackintool or Google one of the guides" .

So Here I am.

Follow the instructions in Hackintool. It's easier to apply the port limit patch (see screenshot) than to do the ports in batches as per the instructions. If you use the port limit patch then you don't need to reboot each time; you can configure all your ports at one time.

Having the same trouble. Stuck at "Rebuild KextCache and Repair Permissions"

On a more whimsical note, I can click the progress bar and set it to whatever I want. Make it look like it just started or like it's almost done.

The way I solve the problem is to give it time, then force quit, then do it through terminal with:

sudo chmod -v -R 755 /Library/Extensions
sudo chown -v -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions
sudo touch /Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -i /

Thanks, well, kind of. I don't know why the hackintool gives you those Options. I've fixed the problem, here is the thread I opened so others can fix the problem.

It is really a pain in the neck to make work the 3.0 USB ports in a custom mac if you are a person who uses a PC as a tool and not as a life. UPDATE September 2020: These instructions help you to get your USB 3.0 ports working, however, as many have mentioned, it could lead to an unstable...

Take a look at this, here is a screenshot of the hackintool at the bootloader, and I have 4 patches:

The only difference I see between yours and mine is that my Clover version is older than yours. So I don't know if that is why you have only 2 patches and I have 4 on that list.

The reason the instructions don't include the port limit patch method is because the patches change so often and because the patches were added to Hackintool after they were written. I plan on updating the instructions to include them at some point though. It's really just a matter of time and since I donate it for free it's not always a priority in my life (ie. This project does not help me pay my bills or feed my family)

Also note that the port limit patch should not be seen as a permanent solution. It should only be used to configure your ports and then turned off.

The only difference I see between yours and mine is that my Clover version is older than yours. So I don't know if that is why you have only 2 patches and I have 4 on that list.

It shows the patch based on your macOS version. So for me it shows the macOS 10.15 patches and for you it shows the macOS 10.14 patches.

I have spent some time working with @jaymonkey (who also has this issue) trying to resolve it but still have not found a 100% workable solution. I'm busy with other things right now but will get back to it as soon as I have some free time.
