USB ports working except when connecting an external hard drive

[smokeycobalt]

Or:

Install USB Inject All kext
Then, the following patch in config file with clover configurator under the kext patches tab:

New USB port limit patch

Comment: USB Port limit patch 10.14 (credits FredWst)
Name: com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI
Find: 83 FB 0F 0F 83 03 05 00 00
Replace: 83 FB 0F 90 90 90 90 90 90

Sorry to reply to an existing post, but I thought this was the most logical place to..well, rely to.
I've attached my current KextsToPatch list for you to see.
There is an AppleUSBXHCI kext in there, however it doesn't get the external drives to work. Do you think I should I toss it and build the one you suggested?

I will tell you a stupid idea that worked for me, my front USB ports 2.0 on the case wasn't working

I did uninstall all kexts related to usb I was installing them using Multibeast version 10.4.0

uninstall:
AHCI_3rdParty_eSATA.kext from /Library/Extensions.
AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext from /Library/Extensions
GenericUSBXHCI.kext from /Library/Extensions.
FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext from /Library/Extensions

then verify your HDD from disk utility and repair permission and rebuild cache using kext wizard and restart

remember those kexts you're uninstalling if anything went wrong then reinstall them

good luck

I never had any of those extensions to begin with. I'm toying with past suggestions on the board now that I'm backing the office and post an update once I get a result. Thank you for the help!

Ok, great update here!

1- I just downloaded Multibeast for High Sierra onto my desktop.

2- Then I loaded in..
•3rd Party 3.0
•Remove XHCI USB Port Limit
&
•USBInjectAll (again)

3- Hit 'Build' and restarted.

4- Plugged my two external hard drives into the back of the rig via a USB hub I use for my MacBook Pro
(because it only has two USB dots after all)
and BAM!
My externals appeared on my desktop!
I now have a fully functioning HackPro!
Thank you guy so much for your help with this puzzle!
