Of course not.

Great, I will do this. Hope the bios upgrade works smoothly - I should have kept it to 1.3.2.

if I re-patch the DVMT now to 96mb, do I have to re-install OS X and windows? I did patch to 64mb but I have QHD touch.

No reinstall required, but I believe you should extract and repatch your DSDT/SSDT files to be on the safe side. You will definitely need to do that if you upgrade your BIOS.

I think it's not mandatory, but it won't hurt!
 
Apologies @bozma88 I wasn't clear. I had your exact configuration installed on my 9360 when all of a sudden the charger freezing issue started to happen. The reason why I have so many different files to your config is that I was experimenting with different configurations (my hardware is slightly different to yours, remains to be seen if there is a different motherboard as well) to see if I could solve the problem. In so doing, I found a few optimisations eg: on my machine MacBookPro13,2 works better than MacBook9,1; Retina patching for my QHD; etc.

I've also done some further work on correctly mapping our 9360 ports based on @RehabMan guide and I think I've now solved it. I've attached the SSDT that matches my configuration, you're more than welcome to give it a go and see if you could use it in your system.

Otherwise sadly the charger issue remains unsolved...

Thank you.
Please define "works better".

Also, what I have to do to patch USB ports?
- Inject your ssdt
- turn off USB clover injection
- something else?

Thank you

I start to get concerned with the DVMT patch at 96mb on bios 1.2.3. I checked the 899407D7-99FE-43D8-9A21-79EC328CAC21_383 IFR txt file and I couldn't find the option 96mb on the DVMT pre-alloc section:

Setting: DVMT Pre-Allocated, Variable: 0x785 {05 91 0D 05 20 05 35 27 01 00 85 07 14 10 00 FE 00}

0x48DB7 Option: 64M, Value: 0x2 {09 07 10 05 00 00 02}
0x48DBE Option: 4M, Value: 0xF0 {09 07 11 05 00 00 F0}
0x48DC5 Option: 8M, Value: 0xF1 {09 07 12 05 00 00 F1}
0x48DCC Option: 12M, Value: 0xF2 {09 07 13 05 00 00 F2}

0x48DF6 Option: 36M, Value: 0xF8 {09 07 19 05 00 00 F8}
0x48DFD Option: 40M, Value: 0xF9 {09 07 1A 05 00 00 F9}
0x48E04 Option: 44M, Value: 0xFA {09 07 1B 05 00 00 FA}
0x48E0B Option: 48M, Value: 0xFB {09 07 1C 05 00 00 FB}
0x48E12 Option: 52M, Value: 0xFC {09 07 1D 05 00 00 FC}
0x48E19 Option: 56M, Value: 0xFD {09 07 1E 05 00 00 FD}
0x48E20 Option: 60M, Value: 0xFE {09 07 1F 05 00 00 FE}
0x48E27 End of Options {29 02}

Is this because of the bios version?

By briefly reading the guide, I think you also need some additional fixes in clover, plus UsbInjectAll kext installed, am I wrong?
