As far as I could tell, you applied the renames from my garbage post (where I was just starting out learning about this), but those are the wrong ones. You need the renames for _BIF and _BST. I now made a Note on my post with those wrong renames - to not use them. I hope this helps for others to understand.

I've applied the right renames on your config, could you please download and replace it on your system? Then have a quick reboot and tell me whether or not it's still missing.

That was it!

Thank you so much! Especially for doing it so quickly. I guess I looked over your corrected config.plist

I'm happy to help at any time! Since we have the same laptop, don't hesitate to ask if you've got any issues. I'm still very new to OC, but I try to learn everything from ground up now. I've been using pre-made solutions waay to long.

Next problem I need to face is proper USB implementation. It's easy to get them to show up, but proper power management is a whole different story...

I appreciate it!

I'm just diving into OC today. I've had OSX running on this laptop for well over a year now with Clover. But with all the extra time I have now, I decided to dive into OC and see what's up lol

@vettz500

That's a very good idea, same with me . In my opinion OC is more reliable, futureproof and has a much cleaner and thoughtful codebase. I mean - they got my native NVRAM working, that's a big advantage. Also, it forces me to dive deep into hackintoshing concepts, not just copy and paste stuff. I really aim to make this laptop run Catalina perfectly on OC. But it's still a long journey - for sure.

You should be able to properly configure the USB ports the same way we did in Clover with the SSDT-UIAC-ALL. I have it implemented that same way and it seems to be working properly

But SSDT-UIAC-ALL is just a template - not a perfect solution. I just started looking into the whole USB business, before that I used the files from a guide, so I still have to understand how it works.

AFAIK - the SSDT-UIAC specifies the ports that USBInjectAll.kext will inject into the system. The SSDT is just another way to specify this information, the Info.plist inside the kext could also be altered.

I will try to use the SSDT, remove unneeded sections from it - and make it fit my system. Then, I will try to see if power works. Do you have something around to charge? An iPad is ideal, but your phone should also work. I just have an USB C to C for my Note 10+ here, so it's hard to check type A ports.

All of my USB ports work properly with the SSDT-UIAC-ALL edited to my system. The USB-C port works great on my Pixel 3XL, charges it at it's full fast charging rate and I can transfer data to and from with AFT.

Just plugged in my iPad Mini 4 into an A type port, it charges and shows up in iTunes and Finder

@vettz500

Ok, thank you very much for getting me thinking about that! I will adjust it based on my system now, and then test my ports.

@vettz500

Sadly, this is still not working for me. I attached the SSDT I came up with (after eliminating all unused regions and ports), but USBInjectAll.kext still ignores it... I also attached a screenshot of my IOREG XHC section, could you also post yours? Just out of interest, I'd like to know if your ports get listed properly.

Thank you
