JACKCR_atJ Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Hi guys, as the title states, I cannot get the usb ports on my Dell XPS M1530 to work at all. The laptop is currently stuck at 10.12(which idk how i even got that to install in the first place), and I am currently attempting to atleast upgrade to 10.13 and/or higher if possible. Solutions that I have tried: Usbtoolbox.kext, Usbinjectall.kext, Xhci-unsupported, both enabled and disabled XHCIPortLimit, ReleaseUSBOwnership in config.plist, but to no avail. I know that this laptop is old and vintage, and I started this project out of curiosity, but this usb problem has been haunting me for a whole month already. Please let me know what have i done wrong so that nothing works? FYI the OC efi picks up the usb and i am prompted to select a device to boot from, and now i am trying to let it boot off an offline 10.13 installer which just results to the prohibited sign and the "still waiting for root device" error. I am unable to use the online installer because I dont have access to Ethernet, and the Horinds.kext requires usb... Thanks in advance if anyone found a fix to my problem, and I will include my EFI folder(quite bare as I already redid the efi for like the third time already) below: (I cannot upload the files at the time being as an unknown error pops up whenever i try to upload it, and i will try to include it ASAP.)

verdazil Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 @JACKCR_atJ, Try this method. It's complicated, but it works great. https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/blob/main/Content/03_USB_Fixes/ACPI_Mapping_USB_Ports/XHUB_Method/README.md Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362817-usb-not-working-on-dell-xps-m1530-despite-numerous-attempts-to-fix-it-hackintosh/#findComment-2850673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
