is the setting in your config.plist XhciPortLimit enabled or disabled?

should be set to disabled after creating the usbports kext

only should be kept enabled while configuring the ports

disabled and now works correctly.
REALLY thank you so much!

up to you, it is your choice.....

i have setup my usb ports way back in El Capitan or Sierra days and have never had an issue with usb ports after an update

there have been a lot of people here that haven't/didn't know/or couldn't be bothered to setup their ports and their machines get messed up with usb issues on almost every mac update, large or small update

i would recommend you should do the configuration, it doesn't take that long to do and not really difficult either

@Feartech and @UtterDisbelief, thanks for your assistance. I realized I needed to stop working on it after about 3 hours of sleep and then 12 hours of trying to fix the issue. I put it away for a few days and am getting back to it now. The problem, as always, is there are as many opinions as there are people. In the thread I followed to change from Clover to OC, Dortania's guide was recommended as THE guide. That's why I wasn't following a tonymacx86 guide; I thought I was doing the right thing. By Dortania's guide, my working USB ports after upgrading to Big Sur were properly configured, since I didn't need any USB fixes. I see now I was steered wrong and there are tonymac guide(s) I should have followed to setup my USB ports with OC. I will work through that process and find the proper settings for my motherboard.

From what I've read on other guides, I expected the XhciPortLimit to take care of unmapped ports, but in my case it hasn't. As soon as I figure out how to properly map my motherboard's ports, I'm hopeful my keyboard and mouse will start working again.

Thanks again for your assistance and patience reading through my sleep-deprived comments

Hey no. Use whatever guide you find easiest. Just bear in mind new problems have surfaced with the latest Big Sur updates 11.3 etc. The XhciPortLimit patch has been causing lock-ups. Trouble is, so far no one has found a manual ACPI patch to do the job. I'm sure the OC team are working on it. Also You may find an earlier version of USBInjectAll.kext, such as 0.7.1, works when others fail. Just use an appropriate system-definition.

Also with your motherboard you can "extrapolate" the ports after 15 as it is a standard layout, if no patch works.

And there was much rejoicing! I didn't quite do it the "right" way, but I got my ports working for now so that I can at least map the working ones before trying to figure out the non-working ones, if I need them.

First I removed USBMap.kext, reinstalled USBInjectAll.kext, re-loaded OC Snapshot to fix the kexts, and re-enabled XhciPortLimit. After re-start USB still didn't work, probably because I need the (temporary) fix to enable more than 15 ports. Without this fix I can't test each port with a USB device, but I figured I might be able to cheat a bit just to get the keyboard working for now:

Now that I understand more how HS01 and SS01 relate to each other, I went back to the port map. Hackintool and USBMap give the same data, but USBMap is easier to copy so I'll show it here:

It's my understanding that the 15-port limit is per controller. I know my front USB ports are both 3, and I think I'm currently using only the USB 3 on the rear, so I enabled all of EH01/02 (<15 each) and then enabled 1-6 and 15-20 on XHC controller.

After creating a kext from those selected ports, I deleted USBInjectAll.kext, copied over the map kext, re-loaded OC Snapshot, disabled XhciPortLimit.

I rebooted and now my keyboard, scanner and both front ports (one of which has mouse's BT dongle) work again! Since those are the only ports I've needed in 6 years of using the computer, I'll probably be ok. Probably.

I realize this isn't the ideal way to do it, but I wanted to use the computer today without remoting in from my windows computer with TeamViewer. I think the best way would have been to apply the patch to change the port limit to 20, figure out exactly which ports I need, and then select up to 15 of the XHC ports. If I find myself needing to plug more USB devices, I'll probably dig back into this to enable more of the USB2 ports that are currently not mapped.
