[Guide] 10.11+ USB changes and solutions

1. The ioreg shows bluetooth controller is on HS07 (port 7). No idea where you're getting 6 from.
2. Only you can know whether that device at SSP4 is internal or external.
3. Nothing is at EH01 because you're not using XHCIMux. You can disable the EHCI controllers if you find no ports are used on EH01/EH02. Your camera is attached to HS01 on XHC.

1. In IOUSB pane if i select bt device it shows 0x6 in "PortNum". That's why i was getting confused.
2. I forgot to mention it is an internal device. Active and visible. It is also defined in DSDT as CDRD Device under SSP4.
3. I found no ports used on EH01/EH02. I'll disable it then.

Apologies.
I certainly don't mean to waste your time.
Still having USB power issues.
USB2.0 devices, iphone, thumb drives etc reporting "USB DEVICE NEEDS POWER"

What port? Which port on XHC should I be looking at in this ioreg you provide?

This ioreg shows only two USB2 devices plugged in (HS13/HS14):
Keyboard Hub
Intuos5 touch M

Neither of them is an "iPhone" or "thumb drive".

You should also try the HighCurrent option.

Rehabman,
I believe the highCurrent has solved the issue.
I was getting inconsistent mounting results after each reboot - different drives/devices mounting/not-mounting or reporting no power so it was difficult for me to track down a specific port. HighCurrent seems to have allowed everything to work.

Thank you for your help and for your huge contributions to the community.

I spoke a little too soon. I was able to replicate the issue after a reboot.
Iphone works fine as well as USB2 devices, perhaps this was a HighCurrent issue.
Now USB3 drive "needs power" you will see it listed on SS04, but won't mount.
Tried other SSxx ports with the same effect.

This is an intermittent issue.

Thanks in advance.

I have a similar issue to you but only one USB 3 port will only mount USB 3 devices i think its normal. Rest of the ports are fine but don't quote me on that.

Hey RehabMan,

1. To disable EH01 & EH02 i have used the ssdt code as-is from your Y50 ssdt-hack. It works but i'm paranoid that it might not be perfect for my system. Can you check if it's ok to use it for my system? I don't understand much yet about ACPI.

2. Since i disabled both EH01 & EH02 can i skip injecting properties for it? I'm using SSDT-HACK to inject EH01 & EH02 properties.

3. As you can see from my ioreg, i've tested all ports that i enabled but there's one SSP4. My internal card reader is attached to it. It is working but at very low speeds (4MB/s write, 25MB/s read). Is there any way to let AppleSDXC drivers handle it? Or to make it show as internal card reader so apple drivers will handle it? Maybe by spoofing vendor/product id?

Attached native dsdt, ssdt-hack, config.plist & ioreg.

Note: Do not mind "Lenevo EasyCamera" in ioreg. The cable connecting the camera to system is broken. That's why it intermittently disconnects and reconnects again. In short it doesn't work due to physical connector issues. I kept the port active cause mic is also attached to it and mic works as it should.

You should probably not be using the entire SSDT-HACK from the y50. It is unlikely your computer is completely compatible. For you to test/investigate.

2. Since i disabled both EH01 & EH02 can i skip injecting properties for it? I'm using SSDT-HACK to inject EH01 & EH02 properties.

No need to inject for a device that is disabled.

3. As you can see from my ioreg, i've tested all ports that i enabled but there's one SSP4. My internal card reader is attached to it. It is working but at very low speeds (4MB/s write, 25MB/s read).

Internal devices should be marked UsbConnector=255.

No, you misunderstood. I did not use the entire SSDT-HACK from Y50 repo. It might look like it cause i constructed it that way using comments and all but i copied only EH01 & EH02 disable code. I meant to ask if EH01 & EH02 code in Y50 is compatible with mine. I did not find any issues yet but i thought if you can take a look you'd find if there's anything wrong under a minute.

Other hacks like XOSI, IMEI, MCHC, SMBUS etc are pretty much the same. I used your hotpatch repo for reference. Battery & Brightness keys i had to modify.

No need to inject for a device that is disabled.

Got it. Will remove it.

Internal devices should be marked UsbConnector=255.

It is done already. SSP4 in SSDT-HACK i attached previously has "UsbConnector" at 255. Can you look at question 3 again?

Thanks.
