DSDT: (method from http://bbs.pcbeta.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1690468&page=1&extra=#pid45970789)

check your ports with AIDA64, i got the results. (image: #131)
usb 2.0: port1 port2 port 9
usb 3.0: port17 port19 port20
special port: port4 port5 port7

then open your dsdt.dsl with MaciASL. find RHUB.

then delete other port you will not use(or just documenting it). i left 9 ports(HS01 HS02 HS04 HS05 HS07 SS03 SS05 SS07). careful the address, do not delete your working port.

then find your ssdt(the one define the usb port). the ssdt.dml below is mine.

add the 9 port function to dsdt. Example:
original:
Code:
Device (HS01)
               {
                   Name (_ADR, One)  // _ADR: Address
                }
after:
Code:
Device (HS01)
                {
                    Name (_ADR, One)  // _ADR: Address
                    Method (_UPC, 0, NotSerialized)  // _UPC: USB Port Capabilities
                    {
                        Return (GUPC (One))
                    }

                    Method (_PLD, 0, NotSerialized)  // _PLD: Physical Location of Device
                    {
                        Return (GPLD (One, One))
                    }
                }
Method (_UPC, 0, NotSerialized) and Method (_PLD, 0, NotSerialized) from here.

change the left 8 ports like this. then get your dsdt.aml file. you can remove your usb injector now.
At last, this is my EFI files.

Note that it is a lot easier to use USBInjectAll.kext with a custom SSDT (for configuration of the ports) than it is to fix ACPI code...
 
I changed the smbios now I passed the OS X not supported but this came up but I have the null power text in the correct place

Now I got this and tried doing the graphic fix . Is it the usb problem or graphics?

Post EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).
 

The ig-platform-id in your config.plist is invalid. What was changed in DSDT.aml?

Clover/kexts/Other needs serious cleanup. Only include kexts you actually need to boot the installer and recovery. All kexts you need should be installed to the system volume. FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics is ineffective without FakePCIID.
 
Fix display, intel and usb. I used clover config to change it. That's what you meant correct?
I haven't done this in a long time.
Can you direct me to the right play for the intel problem.
So does that mean that the usb is okay even tho it showing up in the kernel panic.
 
I don't know if this would help, but I let the screen load a little longer and this popped up. I used the efi file that that op posted, we have basically the same set up. I'll try to set it up my way. Thanks for your help.
