The New Beginner's Guide to USB Port Configuration

Important Update: June 2023 From Big Sur 11.3 on the built-in OpenCore XhciPortLimit quirk no-longer worked as described. This became a known "bug", though in reality it was Apple changing their internal code, making a simple "peek and poke" to keep it operating, a difficult task. However, with...

Just an update for anyone searching this problem. I removed the code from my config.plist using clover configurator. For the first time in over a week, my system boots up without issue. I still can't power down without it restarting so as soon as I catch up on missed work, I will try to follow the guide and report back on that.
Thanks to Feartech for all of the help so far.

Update and question.
So after I deleted that code from my plist, everything booted as it should for a few days but then I ran into the same stall (see above pics).
I got to work on the USB port configuration. I followed the directions to the letter and was able to boot back into my main drive (although infrequently).
The issue now is that my mac doesn't recognize my usb3 ports.
I've added the .kext file .plist to see if anyone knows why.
Hopefully someone has an answer because I work with audio and video so will need those ports.
Thanks ever so much.

Another update for folks following along. I was able to get my usb ports configured using this guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/a-beginners-guide-to-creating-a-custom-usb-ssdt.272505/
I've attached a picture of the ports that I registered and the .aml file in case you have the same motherboard and this is something that you need to do.

So upon restart, my system stalled again. I've tried restarting a few times and no go. At least it's a new error screen now (below). I've included my updated EFI.
Hope someone recognizes the issue.
Thanks again

Still can't get in today.
Have the day to troubleshoot so was hoping that someone might be able to read the verbose screen above.
I'm wondering if a kext is corrupted.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks.

someone might be able to read the verbose screen above

'Waiting for DSMOS' without a corresponding 'DSMOS has arrived' implies a missing or corrupt FakeSMC.kext.

Use zip for attachments not rar.
zip has native support but rar requires third party software.

 

[matthewwilson72]

Thanks ever so much for the info and feedback.
Zip attached.
Hope you have a minute or so to take a look.

Hope you have a minute or so to take a look.

It is a mess.

Kexts should be in /CLOVER/Kexts/Other only and all of the /10.* folders deleted.

/drivers32UEFI and /drivers64UEFI are redundant - Delete them.
Newer versions of Clover use /drivers/UEFI.

 

[matthewwilson72]

Thanks a million for that! Cleaned it up but still no boot.
I have a FakeSMC.kext in my library/extensions - see attached file.
And there are other SMC kexts as well.
Should I update all?
Or should I erase them because of the VirtualSMC.kext in my clover?
Thanks again for your patience.
