Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your USB flash drive?

Which USB ports are not working?

I hava a Kingston Datatraveler USB flash drive that causes my system to freeze for long moments. It never operated faster than USB 2 speeds. It would constantly eject itself for no reason. It is the worst piece $#!@ that I've ever owned.

You can use either M2P or M2Q. Both work fine. Both are in use on my system. Just keep in mind that by using M2P, one of your SATA ports will be disabled.

Personal communications is in violation of forum rules and can get you banned. Don't even ask.

No, the key under my real MacBook Pro works perfectly. Otherwise for the M2Q port ok I see,
and, if not for the teamwiever, I did not think, but in any case thank you for warning me

After is there a software to check if all the parameters of the mac are active and functional?

Thank you for your patience it's great to be so responsive.

Which USB ports are not working? Try using some other USB devices to test.

I don't know of any software to check all parameters. Just use the system.

I think it's a Big Sur issue.

Try booting in the Recovery and use Time Machine to Restore to your new drive.

It is more difficult to make a bootable clone of a Big Sur drive. The CCC website has a good explanation of the changes that Apple made, and a workaround:

Edit -- actually, I've gotten in trouble for posting external links before, so just Google "Carbon Copy Cloner Big Sur" and it should pull up a link to Bombich's FAQ

Thanks @pastrychef @tedyun this did the trick. It looks like there's something still afoot with CCC and latest Big Sur.

In recovery mode, I couldn't restore directly from a Time Machine Backup, but I used recovery mode to do a fresh install of Big Sur on a freshly wiped APFS drive. At the completion of Big Sur install, it prompts you to pull data using Migration Assistant. Using MA to target the Time Machine backup has resulted it a full dupe of my original drive. After OSX booted the first time with my existing data, I copied the EFI folder from my old drive to the new drive's blank EFI. Everything's identical to before, so I'm happy with the results. Thanks for all the help!

Are you using @pastrychef 's EFI ? He has done all the work for you in USBPorts-with-Power.kext. Check out ports SS01 and SS02.

I did or maybe badly but I did not see its famous ss01 and ss02 port that's why I'm struggling with my usb ports

Where are you looking that you can't see SS01 and SS02?
