ninjamoby Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I have a stable, updated 10.10.2 install running Clover. Sound and graphics work fine. USB 3.0 is not functioning. I've tried patching the IOUSBFamily.kext to no avail. Any tips or advice much appreciated. Thanks, hackgurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Put original IOUSBFamily.kext, download and install this kext: http://sourceforge.net/projects/genericusbxhci/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamoby Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hi Carbo- Followed your instructions but still having problems. USB 3.0 bus now shows up in the system report (yay). But USB 3.0 devices don't read when connected to the 3.0 ports (boo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Doesn't recognize any device connected? Delete GenericUSBXHCI and try this: http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/337-kext-for-etron-ej168-usb3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamoby Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Thanks, Carbo. I tried this too. USB 3.0 now shows up in system report as USB Super-Speed Bus. However it still doesn't detect any of my USB 3.0 devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor25462 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Try forcing to load the kext in clover. I had the same issue with my z68ap board, but now it works. Put the kext into efi/clover/kexts/10.10/ In clover config add: <key>ForceKextsToLoad</key> <array> <string>GenericUSBXHCI</string> </array> I do not have any copy of it under extensions or IOUSBFamily.kext.

ninjamoby Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Can you explain this part: I do not have any copy of it under extensions or IOUSBFamily.kext. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor25462 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Can you explain this part: Thanks Look into the kext, there are many plugin kexts. Some replace/include patched kexts there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamoby Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 So if I understand you correctly, I should put the kext you shared in: EFI->CLOVER->KEXTS->10.10 And not in the Extensions folder. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjamoby Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 plus forced loading of the kext in clover config, as said above! I've done this. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Bus comes up in System Report. It still doesn't read / detect USB 3.0 devices or drives (they do power up). I'm guessing there is some kind of kext in SLE that's causing a conflict.

ninjamoby Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 It's currently reading my USB 3.0 drive from the front USB 3.0 port, but it won't write to it. Time Machine says the device is "read only" as the error, but it's not locked as read only under disk info. Confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The USB3 device you say "read only" is formatted in NTFS file system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamoby Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 The USB3 device you say "read only" is formatted in NTFS file system? It's Mac OS Extended. I think this remains a kext issue (the drive won't mount unless it's plugged in to one specific port while the computer boots up). Is there a strategy about transferring kexts from a working, official MacBook install of Yosemite? I'm wondering if some of the issues are legacy kexts from Mavericks.
