USB 3.0 Gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3

[ninjamoby]

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.

Put original IOUSBFamily.kext, download and install this kext:

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).

[carbo178]

Doesn't recognize any device connected?

Delete GenericUSBXHCI and try this:

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.

Checking if there is anything else I can try.

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.

Look into the kext, there are many plugin kexts. Some replace/include patched kexts there.

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?

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]

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.

[carbo178]

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.
