I was able to get iMessage working after a clean install of Yosemite.
I installed Yosemite using a USB drive created with UniBeast 5.0. Included MultiBeast 7.0 on the USB Drive. I selected "Don't Sign In Now" on the Apple ID screen during initial setup.
Once Yosemite started, I ran MultiBeast with the following settings: (note the Drivers>Audio>Realtek ALCxxx>Optional EFI Installed Bootloader Support selection)
Restarted with USB drive to open Yosemite and found that About this MAC revealed that I had an iMAC 14.2
Next I followed the instructions beginning with STEP 4 (Post Installation) to install Clover bootloader:

After restart, I selected iMessage and received a popup containing a 12 digit number and prompting me to call Apple Support to activate iMessage. I did and told them that I had a code to reactivate my iMessage. They asked for my AppleID and the code and reactivated iMessage. iMessage signs in and is fully functional.
