<string>Yes</string>
<key>UHCIreset</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>USBBusFix</key>
<string>Yes</string>

TextEdit will do. Or you can use something better (for editing), like BBEdit or similar.

damn if its already there then do you have any other ideas? The USBs were working at one point because i used it to load multibeast chameleon and all that but when they stopped i could not tell you...

Since i don't know how did you install Lion (method) and what files you used (or currently using), is kinda hard to tell. Could be for a lot of reasons.

Keep in mind, when updating the system, "files" are being replaced. So, in case you used patched kexts, they are probably replaced with vanilla ones, and need to be patched again or revert to the previous ones.

I installed Lion using a usb installer that i created after i purchased lion from app store. Made the installer with unibeast.

ok so if i need to patch them again how do i do that? Is their kexts for usb ports? is it in multibeast?

i saw the USB 3.0 but over looked that..thanks ill try it!

so far looking good thanks again ill mark as solved!!!

No problem.
