New USB port limit patch

I got the RX 580 GPU today, so i updated to Mojave almost perfectly, but i can't get USB 3.0 to work. I somehow managed to make it work (thanks to malki) in High Sierra - it took almost a day. I think that changing SMBIOS to Mac Pro 6,1 helped. Now i'm half a day in and still trying to fix the same problem in Mojave. My motherboard is Gigabyte X99-UD4. I can't find X99_Injector USB 3.kext for Mojave anywhere. It looks like it's named XHCI-unsupported.kext now.

I tried various combinations of USBInjectAll.kext, X99_Injector US3.kext (from High Sierra), XHCI-unsupported.kext. It didn't work. Tried KextToPatch from High Sierra - didn't work either.


I would be very grateful for any help.

But this guide is for Laptops. Even if this applies to Desktops, i had perfectly working USBInjectAll.kext in High Sierra. This guide is older than that. I know it has been updated, but it's still not written specifically for Mojave. So if this applies for High Sierra and Mojave - the old kext should've worked on Mojave just like it did on High Sierra.

the guide works for desktops/laptops and for Sierra, high Sierra and Mojave

running on Sierra, high Sierra and Mojave, this process has worked fine for me on both my desktop and laptop

How can i do that? Tried to find a guide, but haven't found one. I found some tool in this forum (link) that generates problem reporting files, but my BitDefender detected tons of trojans and etc.

I managed to fix it. Before i updated to Mojave from High Sierra, i updated Clover, but just an app, not the bootable one. I just updated the bootable one now and it kinda works. I also created 10.14 folder in "kexts" and added the same kexts as in "others", so this might have fixed it too. I'm not 100% happy, because some of the USB 3 devices connected to USB 3 ports shows up under USB 2 Hub. But the most important one - external SSD shows up under USB 3 Hub and is full speed now. I think that i need to check my USB related Kexts. Most likely it's Kext for another motherboard.

EDIT: I just deleted 10.14 folder to test if it was the cause - it wasn't. I'm sure now, that an old bootable Clover was the cause.
I still need to fix that not just SSD, but all USB 3 devices would be shown under USB 3 hub.
