I have an issue with an older laptop, HP Pavilion dv7-1250en.

 

I'm unable to get USB2 to work at USB2 speed. System shows USB2 ports as USB1 ports. Instead of 480 Mb/sec the ports are limited up to 12 Mb/sec.

 

I have installed macOS Sierra on this laptop, and SMBIOS is configured as iMac10,1 to enable native speedstep on Intel Core 2 Duo

Hi Hervé! 

 

 

Thank you for very useful response!! 

 

You a correct, T6400 is formerly Penryn and linked HP profile is profile of my laptop.

 

I have serious issue with Mac OS Sierra, if I use MacBookPro5,1 SMBIOS, Sierra claims, that it's unsupported platform and I'm unable to boot.

I will read all linked posts to educate myself and will zip and upload needed files for investigation. Not familiar with FakeSMC modification, so I have to figure out what, why and how. 

 

BTW I'm using Clover as boot loader.

Sierra will boot with SMBIOS MBP5,1 once it's fully installed. I can vouch for that. That's what I use on my D630.

 

Meantime, you may use MBP7,1 to install Sierra or complete your installation.

 

Sierra is already installed on this laptop. I will test SMBIOS whan I have access to my desktop, to make sure that I can easily recover I something goes wrong :)

I'm unable to boot MBP5,1

This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform

Reason: Mac-F42D86C8

I managed to boot, I just needed to add -no_compat_check flag on Clover custom boot args.

 

But still no luck with USB2, alll external ports are still USB1 instead of USB2.

Hervé, thank you!

 

In DSDT are deifined 2 EHCI and 6 UHCI devices.  But why those 6 are UHCI if they under Linux and Windows act like USB2?

 

If i connest on the left side USB port device, it appears under UHC6 and works like USB1. But under Linux and Windows it works like USB2.

Was the DSDT you posted a fresh extraction from BIOS?

 

  • UHCx devices are USB1.1 controllers
  • EHCx devices are USB2.0 controllers
  • XHCx devices are USB3.0 controllers

 

 

Yes, I'm familiar with these words, and aware about meaninings. As I understand, actually both, external and internal physical ports are shared between UHC and EHC controllers.

Just in case, can you also provide the raw SSDT tables from the BIOS?

 

Hi, here are all aml's.

Ok, it seems like your USB controllers roots actually are UHC1 (@1D0000) and UHC4 (@1A0000). Here's a revised patched DSDT to try out.

Great thank you!

 

Which USBInjector I shall use? MBP5.1?

O see you added hub on EHC?

                    Device (PRT1)
                    {
                        Name (_ADR, One)  // _ADR: Address
                        Name (_UPC, Package (0x04)  // _UPC: USB Port Capabilities

                        Name (_PLD, Buffer (0x10)  // _PLD: Physical Location of Device
                        {
                             0x81, 0x00, 0x30, 0x00                         
                        })
                    }


                    Device (PRT2)
                    {
                        Name (_ADR, 0x02)  // _ADR: Address
                        Name (_UPC, Package (0x04)  // _UPC: USB Port Capabilities
                        {
                            0xFF, 
                            0xFF, 
                            Zero, 
                            Zero
                        })
                        Name (_PLD, Buffer (0x10)  // _PLD: Physical Location of Device
                        {
                             0x81, 0x00, 0x30, 0x00                         
                        })
                    }
                }
            }

Did you made any other patches on this DSDT too? Is it based on original or patched one?

Use the same USBInjector I had posted (for MBP5,1). The patched DSDT is based on the raw/extracted/original one. I've only renamed UHC1 to EH01 and UHC4 to EH02.

 

Thank you!

 

Seems that something is wrong. I have panic with this DSDT.
