Trouble with USB on ProBook 4530s

[bthall]

I've had Yosemite running with the Clover bootloader for about two weeks on my ProBook 4530s and everything was working just fine. Now it seems that my USB ports won't operate correctly once I've booted into OS X. Plugging in a hard drive results in the the drive's icon popping up on the desktop and then disappearing followed by a "Disk Not Ejected Properly" message. Leaving the disk plugged in just results a continuous cycle with disk icon appearing on for a couple of seconds and then disappearing for a couple of seconds. Disk shows the same behavior in Disk Utility. USB sticks show the same behavior. I've plugged this disk into my other hack (Yosemite/Chimera) and it works fine.

Any ideas? I can't think of anything that I've changed in the last few days that could have affected this.

Thanks in advance,

Note: this machine only has USB 2.0 ports.

I had this issue too.

I would like to ask you a question...
1: Were the USB ports working fine before this?
2: Did you update your kexts?
3 Did you use the new version of Probook Installer for UEFI?

How do the USB ports react on your Win 8.1 system?

Did you try an EC reset?
Also, can you run Kext Wizard and in the Loaded tab, can you check if you have org.emlydinesh.driver.BTFirmwareUploader loaded?

I had the same issue and the I tried to install BTFirmware from HP Installer and the issue resolved.
Thanks dear.

Ports work fine under Win 8.1.

Tried EC reset, but it made no difference. Had previously removed the BTfirmwareuploader.kext since it was making my machine reboot during sleep. USBs worked fine after removal.

I used pro book installer for clover for initial install and everything worked fine. Had not installed any new kexts. I extracted a clean DSDT and reran most recent PBI again last night, but the problem remained.
