Missing USB Ports after update to 10.14.6

[denkteich]

Hi all,

after I upgraded to 10.14.6 the number of usable USB ports decreased.
USBInjectAll is loaded.

Any suggestions on how to get all ports working again?

OK, some steps further.
All ports are still there, but USB3 devices are not recognized.

Any suggestions?

Hi there.

Have you created an SSDT-UIAC.aml, are you using a port-limit removal patch or do you have a USBPorts.kext in place?

Hi Utter,

sorry I'm not that deep into Hackintosh. I was glad to get it up and running.

I attached my plist.
For me it's like a blind looking into a black hole.

your config wont help anything. you need proper USBinjectall.kext usage.
you need port removal patch and USBinjectall.kext for all the possible USB ports to appear in your device list -

so after you do the port limit removal patch in clover and you load the usbinjectall.kext
use ioregistry explorer to see which ports are used
then you need to determine your actual usb port numbers
then you need to disable all the non used port numbers so your number of USB devices can fit into the #of ports port limit (16) either with custom SSDT or by a boot flag (much easier)

Port limit removal and usbinjectall ist installed.
I have 9 Ports, so less than 16.

But still no usb3 device is recognized and the usb c port is not working.

Mainboard is Gigabyte H370M DS3H.

I used Hackintool to see the ports working.

Working ports are marked green. USB C is not reacting at all.

Before the update to 10.14.6 everything was working.

Any suggestion?

Connected are only the usb c port, 3 ports USB3 on the back panel, two USB 3 thru a breakout board, two USB3 ports to the front of the case, two usb 2 ports on the back panel, which makes 9 + usb c.
But even if i would use all of them they are 15 in total.

This image shows simply that you have no active port-limit removal patch in place - or if you do then there is no USBBInjectAll.kext installed.

As @P1LGRIM points out you have 22x ports available. So something is preventing them being seen. See above.

Remember USB3 ports count as 2x USB ports - a USB3 and a USB2. So the 7+1 you have doubles-up to 16. Add to these the 6x USB2 ports and there's your total. When you can't see them in IORegistryExplorer or Hackintool it is because they are not "activated" by the kext and patch OR the Device ID is wrong in the config. In your case this appears to be fine.

To be honest, without anything else to go on I'd guess the port-limit patch is no-longer working because for each point upgrade a new version of the patch is needed. See the posts in the Installation / Mojave Support forum.

OK, I didn't know that usb3 is counting twice.

I installed the patch:
Comment: USB Port limit patch 10.14.1 18B45d (credits Ricky)
Name: com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI
Find: 83 FB 0F 0F 83 8F 04 00 00
Replace: 83 FB 0F 90 90 90 90 90 90

After rebooting the Hackintosh is stuck here:

any suggestion on how to continue?
