Customizing USB with hackintool

What @fangf2018 said. I was able to update from Mojave to Catalina without any issues. Swear, it was just like my Macbook Pro update
Use Hackintool to map your USB ports. You'll wonder why you ever put up with all the USB temp fixes every update.

Most people use general OS-X-USB-Inject-All to solve USB problems, but KextsToPatch is needed to solve port restrictions.
Customizing USB would not have such a problem.

You probably shouldn't be using the port limit removal patch on a long term basis, and should properly limit your install to 15 ports once you have them all mapped out.

Overview One of the serious issues most users will face with 10.11.x (and later, including 10.12.x) is the new USB stack in OS X/macOS. It has a much heavier reliance on ACPI, and as a result is much more likely to expose bugs in your ACPI implementation of _PLD, and _UPC. It is covered in...

Many tend to over-simplify the problem, and, for example, believe they can simply apply the port-limit patch and install USBInjectAll.kext and be done with it. In fact, the port limit patch is known to cause problems (it causes access outside a fixed array bounds).

Yes, the port limit patch works. But read the post I linked, it clobbers a fixed length array that macOS uses and can potentially write into areas of memory it's not supposed to. You should use it only to map out your ports so that you can create a proper SSDT that limits you to 15 ports, bearing in mind each USB3 port counts as 2 (one SS and one HS port).
