Anyone running Big Sur 11.3 on a laptop lost brightness control? Reported as no longer working on a couple of Dell Hacks (eg: Ivy Bridge/HD4000 Latitude E6230, Haswell/HD4600 Precision M6800). I can confirm the matter on my E6230.

Brightness is still working on my X1 Extreme, haven't had a chance to update my M4700 yet.

Edit: Still works on my M4700

I resolved this and I post it for whose encounter the same problem. First I downloaded the last version of USBInjectAll.kext and XHCI-unsupported.kext as the advice of MladOn:

After this, only the USB 3.0 devices were seen, but not the USB 2.0 devices.

Then I unchecked the XhciPortLimit in Kernel -> Quirks, because some of my back panel USB ports were not recognised

Then I applied the patched in the picture. I don't know which of them makes the trick, but it works now. I hope it helps.

After updating I lost the USB, all of them, I had to go to my test disk of big sur 11.2.3, update Hackintool to the latest version, do the mapping of my USB again and change the EFI 0.6.8 of the disk, that's how it worked all over again. 

 

only those marked in green after placing a usb stick 2 and 3 in all ports

you export results and put the resulting ssdt and kext in your EFI

You must map your USB ports either though SSDT or though the plist-only kext, and disable XhciPortLimit

[Cyberdevs]

Hi guys.

Has anyone been able to clean install Big Sur 11.3? Neither Clover nor OpenCore see the USB installer.

@eSaF

Thanks a lot.

I lost brightness control when I installed the first beta of 11.3.  I fixed it by changing my PNLF device, which had been in my DSDT to Dortania's SSDT-PNLF.aml.

[Cyberdevs]

Thanks for the update. I guess there's something wrong with the installer I have, I'm downloading the full installer as we speak so I'll give it a try when it's done.

Check the "11.0/OC" folder, it's the EFI/config that I use.

[jlrycm]

I updated to 11.3 without any issues, using OC 0.6.8. I’ll check with clover v5133 tomorrow and report back.

hi all Today I updated BG 11.3, I'm having problems with some usb2 and usb3 ports does not detect them
Of the eight USB ports of the Asus Z87 plus motherboard in signature only 3 work for me.
I used Hackintool to pack the usb ports, same problem.
Any suggestions
Thank you

Re-installed Big Sur, it was version 11.2.3, I have installed version 11.3 . I have kept the old installation of Clover 5133 (latest) in the EFI. For sound, I have used Voodoo HDA Audio, packaged by chris1111 (version 2.9.6, I know 2.9.7 exists, but chris1111 has not packaged it for Clover yet).  This type of updating by (almost) clean install worked before. Now, sound is gone. Voodoo HDA Audio stopped working, no audio hardware is shown in System Preferences. On 11.2.3 it was working. I have tried several combinations, like re-installing Voodoo HDA Audio, deleting it and then re-installing it, tried AppleALC, I have re-installed the OS the second time, nothing worked. I have attached the EFI partition.

Unfortunaly, due to things related to ADHD, I find hard to switch from Clover to OpenCore, altought it would probably be the best.

Solved I disabled XhciPortLimit on the clover, I updated usb.kext, now all eight work

[T0pol]

my old motherboard (GA-Z97P-D3) has been updated to Big sur 11.3 with opencore 0.6.6 .  It took about 20 minutes.

I disabled  XhciPortLimit  in opencore on a USB boot drive to test if that would have consequences with BigSUR 11.2.x : NONE All USB device were OK. And did the update , the first reboot showed me a "macintosh HD" for the update that was selected by default by the picker, 3 reboots and tadaaam : all my USB devices are working : Apple Keyboard, laser printer, webcam, USB3 external drive, inside USB2 for Bluetooth via a Fenvi card, Wifi as a regular Airport device.

The day before : i did the update on a Macbook Air 13" (2015)  and a Macbook pro 15" core I7 ( mid 2015). It was very slow on the Macbook Air.

I agree

USBInjectall is not the right way ; USBPort.kext is so much easier and correct . 

@XanthraX remap your USB ports as a kext and forget about it forever

I did it. I lost a port, but the rest of all work. XhciPortLimit disabled.

Do you have the "Connect Drivers" Option enabled? If not, it is the reason why the installer won't be detected. Especially if HFSPlus.efi is not the first entry in the list of drivers.

Yes the Connect Drivers is enabled, the issue was with the installer somehow. I downloaded the installer via Software update and it's working.

Hello how are things today?

 

I have a fix also that can be worth a try.

 

I do not use SSDT-EC-USBX.aml, SSDT-UIAC.aml, USBports.kext

I use FakePCID_XHCIMux.kext from Rehabman does work.

Hackintool verifies the ports on one side is 3 and the other is 2.

The only patch is a hotpatch SSDT-4x0G2b.aml which defines EHO1 and EHO2
along with some other important aspects not related to USB.

 

I get USB3 and 2 

USB3 with 5gb

USB2 with 480mbps

Give it a try.

 

Disable XHCI check and limits in configs. kind of borks the system. 
I found this Mux takes care of a lot issues. 

 

For those who want to save energy the way to go is to install

the patches for those unknowns that are left over after you insert usb sticks into all ports on your system. it is good to do this every update and prior to it to prevent no USB.

 

The USB Mux attached here brings power to USB ports as well. In my case when upgraded to new OS
the power going to the ports was nill. After installed works like a charm.  I tried the USBmap thing

and it said, No need so it passes this port checker.  It is good to have

Hey.

No USB3 on my MSI B460A-Pro on Release Big Sur 11.3 and 11.4 beta.

In Big Sur 11.2 no problem with usb map solution

In Big Sur 11.3 I remap,  but the USB3 don't appear.

Any patch for this or we wait for a new version?
