Shaneee Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Edit: You are better off using Spakk's USB Fix. I've left mine here in the spoiler if you still want to try it. Spakk's fix:- http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/521-usb-fix-for-el-capitan/ This package is not to replace any other out there. It is just a different attempt to fix USB. This should fix the mouse not working on install screen and more. If you've installed a different USB Fix and it didn't work please restore all previous kexts. If you don't have a backup of them I've provided Vanilla USB.zip below. Please install IOUSBHostFamily.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ using Kext Wizard then repair the permissions as seen below. Replace your SMBios.plist within the Extra folder and boot. If you use Clover please upload your config.plist so I can adjust the SMBios.

kbwojo Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Thank you this worked for my system. I tried both ways and after with clover just did a copy paste into the plist. Not all ports are working with this fix or the usb v3 fix, but it is a start so that I can at least edit my dsdt and try to get them working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSX Sufferrer Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I used this kext, the new v3, but I am getting 'still waiting for root device' - am I missing something? Used kext wizard to install kext and then fixed permission too. Also one point, when I checked the file IOUSBHostFamily.kext on the /System/Library/Extensions directory, there is a green dot before the file name. I am confused if fix permission worked or not. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using the USBBusFix=Yes bootflag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help? Don't get confused to much, the green dot is just a mark, u can mark any items u want in different colors. That has nothing todo with "wrong" permissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I tried using the bootflag and yeah used the SMBios overwriting the old one, but still stuck to still waiting for root device. One thing to point - when I use the vanilla IOUSBHostFamily.kext (that comes by default from the El Capitan InstallESD.dmg) I don't have any issue with mouse, only the keyboard does not work at all on the installer. So I need a fixes for the keyboard. I am on AMD machine (Phenom 2 x6 1090t, gigabyte ga-890fxa-ud5 v2.1 mobo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After doing some testing with that kext it won't work Try this one. Install it to Extra/Extensions if you have other kexts there otherwise use S/L/E https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-generic-usb3/downloads/RehabMan-Generic-USB3-2015-1215.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both /Extra/Extensions and /S/L/E, however I installed the RehabMan Generic on /S/L/E and did the permission repair too. Also tried with the flag USBBusFix=Yes. Any other way around? It is kind of really strange that one USB device works and other does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the keyboard in other USB ports? And if you have a PS2 port and PS2 keyboard that could work for the install if you add the correct kexts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you have a PS2 port and PS2 keyboard that could work for the install if you add the correct kexts. okay tried plugging the keyboard on on another USB port but nothing worked, even tried on vmware workstation, the same situation, mouse working but keyboard not. Secondly, I have then tried on another AMD machine, got the following error https://www.dropbox.com/s/09fiz96iis8s5bo/IMG_20160629_034143.jpg?dl=0 it was just coming constantly like a loop, never ending message So I reboot the machine using the reset button, and found that the machine's BIOS setting is back to stock, whatever settings I had on the bios are gone and it is now in a stock state. I had to re-configure the bios again to boot the machine's Windows properly, set the time on bios and other required settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaneee Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 That's a common issue. I even get it on my machine but it isn't stuck. Just give it some time. Go have a cup of coffee or watch some tv while it installs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go have a cup of coffee or watch some tv while it installs. are you sure it is installing? I have tried waiting for more than an hour but still remained on the 16 minutes remaining. I will do the setup again now and keep it like that for a longer time. Thanks for all the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yeah it will be. I'm sure it just because of the Fixes not giving full support in the installer so the USB speeds are lower than normal. If you could put the installer on an internal HDD it would be quicker I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could put the installer on an internal HDD it would be quicker I suppose. I need a new help, I am trying to install the El Capitan on Vmware ESXi. I have modified the ESXi with the latest unlocker. Now I need a installer since USB pass-through is not working. Can you please tell me if I convert the InstallESD.dmg to iso and it will be sufficient? Can you point me to some link to create a a custom ISO with any required kext to put. I saw your video on youtube to create ISO where you used some extra kexts, how can I do that with ISO creation as well as patching with chameleon/chimera or any other bootloader?
