How to Fix USB ports not working after a fresh install of Catalina. [OC]

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Laptop Specs:

MODEL: MSI GF63 9SC

CPU: CORE I5 9300H

RAM: 16GB

GPU: GTX 1650(DISABLED)

STORAGE: CRUCIAL BX500 480GB

So I just installed catalina on my laptop and the installation went smoothly. When i first booted into macOS, I wanted to mount the EFI to my macOS drive but i couldn't find my USB storage device in finder. I plugged the usb stick into all the 3 ports and none of them seems to be working. I had the "USBinject all" kext in the kext filder of my usb install drive. Now i can't mount the EFI to my SSD since i can't find my usb drive. Anyone knows how to fix this?
