pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

Don't install hackintosh kexts to /Library/Extensions/. Put them all in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/.

In config.plist, get rid of the "uia_exclude=" line in config.plist/Boot/Arguments/.

Hi pastrychef,

unfortunately.... that didn't do the trick. What I don't understand is, that the SAME port works with USB3 but not with USB2 devices.... it doesn't make sense to me!

If I remember correctly.... it started long ago with some Security updates. After that, I couldn't use that port anymore. Before that, it worked perfectly. Even after THIS patch in config.plist

                    RUNfXw==
                    </data>

Somewhere on the road, before Mojave.... something must have broken. But what????

Hi Stork,

thx 4 the hint ..... but I didn't work. It is just this one damn USB port, that refuses to take USB2 devices. The other ones work fine.

I'm lost....

It doesn't make sense. When you plug in a USB 2 device with Hackintool open, does the port light up?

No. And neither in IOregistry...
It only lights up (Hackintool and IOregistry) when I insert a USB3 device....

Follow the instructions here.

Follow the instructions here.

Exactly how I did it. But This „special“ port didn‘t show any USB2 activity even with 26 ports in the list....

Then maybe the connector on your case is not working... Does USB 2 work in Windows or Linux?

That is a good question. Never installed Win or Linux on my machine. But if this port is broken, shouldn‘t the USB3 connection fail either?

Question back: If I change the Smbios to 17,1 in config.plist, do I have to change something elsewhere?

If one of the pins on the header are not connected correctly, it's possible for USB 3 to work and USB 2 fail.
