OK thanks, I will start again

It doesn't work for me, with that installed, no USB 3 devices are detected at all.

Thanks again! Something strange just happened, so the drive I've been testing with, just showed up in finder about 10 minutes after I plugged it in! Send me Daves-iMac.zip Edit: seems to be recognising the USB 3 drive now. But when I reboot, it freezes as soon as the white text starts on the black screen. Edit 2: All USB 3 drives recognised once and then if disconnected, they are not recognised after that at all.

Hello, I have made some progress. I found someone with the same motherboard as mine as they gave me their SSDT. I now have full USB 3 at boot, and all devices register in finder and IORegistry, but when they are disconnected, they will not reconnect again in any port. They do not show up in finder or IORegistryExplorer explorer once disconnected and reconnected until next reboot. Are we nearly there? Thanks.

You're welcome, thanks for helping me I have Seagate 4tb, Seagate 2TB, Patriot rage 2, some unbranded USB 3 caddy with 5400rpm drive in, none of them show in finder on the Hackintosh, but all work on iMac upstairs. Also, all these devices were working on the Hackintosh before last Mojave update. Very strange!

Thanks, it's the same, USB 3 devices not recognised in finder.

OK, so I still have no ports other than just the USB 2 ports that we're working to begin with. Anything plugged into any of the other ports does not work. Added in 11 minutes 46 seconds: Rebooted and USB 2 works on all ports, but anything USB 3 plugged in, does not show in finder.

I have a Seagate 4TB USB 3 drive, that is not detected on any port in finder. Patriot USB 3 drive, not detected in finder. Seagate 2TB USB 3 drive not detected in finder. All show in the IORegistry explorer. Added in 1 minute 20 seconds: Ok thanks, I will give that a try now

Haha, OK I will find something Send me Daves-iMac.zip

OK thanks, so followed the guide but when I get to the USB 3 drives, It only shows 5 ports are in use, there should be 6. According to the motherboard's specs, there are 2x USB on the back I/O and 4x USB 3 with a further 2x USB 3 from a motherboard header to the case USB 3 ports. It's the ports numbered 9 on the I/o picture I posted above. I can live with that, though, if the speeds are OK. Do you recommend anything for testing the speeds? Thanks

Thanks again [ref]onemanosx[/ref], OK, Replaced the clover folder on my boot drive with the one you linked to. Added the DSDT patch. Rebooted and we have USB this time, not sure how much we have yet, but here is the send me file. Send me Daves-iMac.zip

Thanks, I don't have the NVRAM.plist, just boot and EFI. Tried command+shift but nothing there. Added in 12 minutes 38 seconds: OK, done that and here is the updated send me file. Send me Daves-iMac.zip Added in 2 minutes 37 seconds: I do not have the DSDT file in place as I have no USB functionality with it there. I re-did the USB guide and it was the same results as last time for the USB 2 and for USB 3 there are several ports not working at all. Added in 21 minutes 8 seconds: This is the IO on the back of my board, there is also a blue connector on the board that hooks up to the case USB 3 ports, if that helps?

OK thanks, that must be where I am going wrong? How do I transfer everything to my main drive, then?

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated I'm not sure why the settings aren't showing in your send me results, I am saving them to my bootable USB drive. I tried the USB drive on an iMac and that shows the settings have been saved? I can confirm that I have no USB functionality at all if I put the DSDT file inClover/ACPI/Patched I have changed back to iMac 18,3 - I tried the iMac yesterday, I have also tried Mac Pro, all very similar results. I can't add the DSDT file and follow the guide as I have no USB functionality with the DSDT installed. I used the olarilla app to make the bootable USB drive with the 3xx folder settings that I am using. Sorry for being a noob and thanks for being patient

I'll redo the send me again, sorry about that:) Added in 3 minutes 40 seconds: Hopefully this is correct now! Send me Daves-iMac.zip
