[Guide] 10.11+ USB changes and solutions

The port limit patch is to be used only for determining the ports you need to put into the SSDT (or the -uia_exclude flags necessary).



Yes/-uia_exclude_hs is a kernel flag. Kernel flags are specified in config.plist/Boot/Arguments

i remove patch limit and include -uia_exclude_hs to the custom boot arguments, but im still getting the same disk speed and having issues with large file usb disk transfers, -error 36 "could not complete operation because some data could not be read or written"

Do you want me to list everything again? I already gave you all that..

But you changed things after that...
Must provide "Problem Reporting" files that represent what you're doing now, not what you were doing in the past.

You have work to do regarding a custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext, but I don't see any issue regarding detecting USB3 devices as USB3.

This ioreg shows such a USB3 device plugged into SSP1. Looks like it is an HDD connected via USB3->SATA converter... Speed will be limited by the adapter and/or physical limitations of the HDD itself.

That HDD is connected to the front usb's which goes to the mobo to the USB port. Is that why it shows usb to sata? Speed is the same for the front and rear usbs.

What will customizing my SSDT do? Do you have any links on how I go about doing that?

USB drives are typically using a USB->SATA adapter. So no surprise there. But it is detected as USB3.
I don't know why you expect different speed from an HDD depending on the port it is attached to.
Many HDDs don't saturate USB2...
If you want to benchmark USB3 controller speed, use SSD connected via USB.

You can eliminate ports you're not using. Read the Skylake Starter Guide writeup for more clues...

Ok will do.

I tried deleting fakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext to see if i needed it, but when I deleted it, I rebooted and could not use bluetooth or wired keyborard/mouse. I had to boot USB and reinstall it to work again... Am I doing something wrong cause it didnt seem to do that before I installed it..

also when running through the skylake guide, I see that I dont have very many ports. He says if I dont see 26 enties then im doing something wrong. any idea why I dont see 26?

When you deleted FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext it turns the routing from XHCI to EHCI. But at the same time, you excluded HSxx ports on XHC, which means any USB2 device plugged in to a port on XHC won't work.

Your profile indicates 9-series, not Skylake. Each XHC controller has a different number of potential ports.
