[Success] b1's "Mac Mini Killer" with macOS Mojave: i7-8700 | Gigabyte Z370N | RX560 | 16GB RAM

[TurbineSeaplane]

Yes. Read this thread to find out why, it has been discussed multiple times.

Found it - sounds like a security thing and a good idea - going to give it a go now.

Have people on the z370n-wifi with a Coffee Lake CPU needed the patch?

I saw @pastrychef say he never needed the patch for the updated BIOS on his builds.
Anyone else have experiences either way on this MoBo?

Thx

Already ports are mapped including front side

@Rajkhand thanks for sharing it and sorry for the incredibly slow response - my Hackintosh is my production computer and I need to be careful not to risk any important project.

With your USBPorts.kext I got all the rear USB ports working and providing full energy when charging phones etc. I even managed to updated my Big Sur version 11.2.3 to the latest 11.5.2 without any glitches in USB ports.

However, none of the front ports are working. If it's not too much to ask, would you be able to map the following ports?

HS01/SS01 - Bottom front USB2
HS02/SS02 - Top front USB2


#HS03/SS03 - Bottom port # This is removed
#HS04/SS04 - Top port # This is removed


HS06/SS06 - Top port
HS05/SS05 - Second top port
HS08/SS08 - Second bottom port
HS07/SS07 - Bottom port


HS09/SS09
HS10 - Bluetooth

Thanks a lot buddy!

just try this out and test as the name suggests. it does not have the USB C. if this works I'll be able to give you what you want Very Important your SMBIOS should be 19,1 if it is different give that value as this kext depends on it. Port 11 is front side USB 2

Many thanks for the prompt response @Rajkhand!

However, even with your kext the front ports still won't respond to any device connected. It's not hardware malfunction since they work fine on the Windows partition.

I wonder if I have to make any changes on the .aml files as well?

@inarush ok it works now on my computer!!!

USB 3 =1,5,6,7,8 5x2=10
USB C =9 2
USB 2 = 2,11 (both front)2
Internal Bluetooth=10 1
Total 15 ports

@inarush So did it work for you? At least give some timely reaction so the people helping you know that their time and effort was worth it.

Sorry @Rajkhand, I hadn't had the chance to test it until your reminder. First of all thanks for taking the time to prepare the file.

It worked for me but front ports were USB2 only and one of the rear USB3 ports that I needed (the couple ports beside the ethernet connector) was not enabled.

I am leaning towards making my own mapping, but I am not sure how to do that since the Hackintool approach no longer works under the recent Big Sur releases.

Any hints highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot buddy!

what you have requested is > 15 ports which no one will be able to map as the limit is set by Apple. As shown in my post all 3 frontside ports are working. Port 1 is USB3 and Port 2 & 11 are USB2

In your above post you have removed Ports 3&4 so it was not mapped. Give a proper request with which ports to be mapped as USB2 & which as USB3. Port 9 which is USB C is counted as 2 ports like USB3 and USB2 is counted as 1 port.
