indiekiduk Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I would like a patch to modify the USB device product ID for: ScanSnap S1500: Product ID: 0x11a2 Vendor ID: 0x04c5 (Fujitsu Ltd.) To become: ScanSnap iX500: Product ID: 0x132b Vendor ID: 0x04c5 (Fujitsu Ltd.) So I can try to use the new 64bit drivers that don't support the older S1500's device ID. More info on the problem in the comments here 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/336783-patch-to-modify-usb-product-id/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdev Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) That's funny, since a few days I need the exact same thing but for some other USB device! Please post all of your findings! I would very much appreciate that. One thing I've only recently (and therefore too late) found is https://github.com/slavaim/MacOSX-Kernel-Filter , but (public? ) development stopped in 2013 according to its readme. I can't seem to make it compile right now, maybe that's my own fault though. I need it to run on at least 10.13, better yet 10.11 min, but those are already too new. And even if that driver/injector (or whatever it truly is, I haven tested it yet) would work: I don't even know if that really supports changing the name of the device as the readme doesn't mention it. But I wildly guess it could do that as well, just look at its intense featureset. I've also found another question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25994103/osx-change-product-id-to-usb-composite-device but no answers... There's also these docs: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/USBBook/USBDeviceInterfaces/USBDevInterfaces.html But damn, it's out of my league. I wouldn't know where to start.

indiekiduk Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the tip, I'm giving this a try https://gist.github.com/stefanocoding/923931ae84333e2db7d60aafbb5a4f7b edit: I think usb_modeswitch is for those 3G modems that can either be the modem or a storage device i.e. with the driver software usually on it. Says here "The program does not change the product ID. That's entirely up to the device.
