USBMap VS MountEFI

If you are stuck with using macOS only, they recommend USBMap anyway -> https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap

Download Python, and USBMap from https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap

iMessage and FaceTime works as well as all of my USB ports since I've mapped them manually with USBMap linked here https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap.

Just confirming that you have built a USBMap.kext? Per this guide?

https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap is a reference for how to map USB. You can also read here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/pastrychefs-asus-rog-strix-z370-g-gaming-wi-fi-ac-build-w-i9-9900k-amd-6600-xt.239969/ (search: map) for details on the fact that the motherboard's M2 slot uses an internal USB2 port. If it's not mapped, no USB, no BT.

Mapped using the Corpnewt guide linked from Dortania guide

Not sure where I'm going wrong - I've updated to the latest version of OpenCore and I'm running just fine on Catalina. There are a few threads similar to this that recommend USB mapping, so I tried that, using the USBMap/Readme. It hasn't seemed to make a difference, unless I screwed up somewhere, but all my ports currently work fine. I have yet to try USBInjectAll.kext, as I do not currently need that to boot and use my USBs in Catalina, but that will probably be my next step.

Then I cannot get my USB ports to work properly. I'm trying to map them with USBMap but they only seem to recognise USB3 devices and not USB2. I have a USB3 disk that I have plugged into everything and it shows up in USBMap and IORegestryExplorer, but when I do the same with my USB2 keyboard, it doesn't find it at all.

Also, use this to map your USBs: https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap

You need to manually copy the EFI folder from your pendrive to your system's EFI partition. Use MountEFI made by u/CorpNewt to mount your system's EFI partition.

Use MountEFI, and follow the instructions from this guide.

It's a red flag that GUID_partition_scheme is not displayed under Type on diskutil list for my Ventura install (but it's displayed in Disk Utility, I can see GUID Partition Map on Device Information => Scheme for Ventura partition). The EFI partition is also not displayed in my Ventura partition on diskutil list, which is weird, because I'm able to use Mount EFI on it.

Once I added the "BlueToolFixup.kext" in the EFI folder (using MountEFI: https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI), it was time to update from macOS Catalina to Monterey. The update process was successful, and after disabling SIP (as instructed by chris1111 -author of Wireless-USB-BigSur-Adapter-.), everything worked fine.

MountEFI

For booting without USB stick i just mounted the EFI partition of my boot drive and pasted there my entrire EFI folder from the USB. To mount the EFI partition i used MountEFI script. Link to MountEFI : https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI

If you currently have MacOS installed : https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI follow this

Or you can download mount efi script

Use tools like Mount EFI script or what you prefer.

You need to mount your EFI partition (find a tool online or use command line). In it you should find "EFI/OC/config.plist". Open the file with Propertree or another plist editor and make the changes.
