Trying to figure out why clover is generating an equals sign at the end of my mlb

17-char mlb is not identified correctly, so you should be good using 13mlb for now. For your problem, make sure you have Inject System ID = true in config.plist, if it does not work, change to false. You can try updating bios, install emudrv by clover.

Tried updating the bios to f.60. No fix.

Tried installing emudrv by the latest clover. No fix.
(how can I make sure emudrv is working?)

Tried changing the inject system idea to both true and false. No fix.

The system still generates a new mlb/rom on every single reboot.

Any other suggestions?


Also, these are in the config.plist as strings - when I save them through clover.

Should they be in there as base64 <Data> ??

<key>RtVariables</key>
<dict>
<key>MLB</key>
<string>C07238xxxxxxTN5AK</string>
<key>ROM</key>
<string>b4bxxxx96aac</string>
</dict>

ROM can be string or data. If string, it is hex encoded. If data, it is base64 encoded.

MLB must be string data.

It is clearly described by the Clover source code

Thanks. I've big slugging through the clover documentation wiki.

Here's what my testing showed so far.

I reinstalled osx on a fresh hard drive according to the yosemite clover guide and all the values work fine and I can actually insert my own MLB through the smbios page by replacing my own MLB.

I tried copying the entire efi folder to replace the one on my main ssd, but it keeps regenerating the mlb and rom values to random strings each time.

Is there a way to debug the clover process and see where exactly it's hanging up on deciding to generate random values instead of the values that I put in?
