Failed in what way?

The Guide is VERY VERY detailed (for good reason).

In short terms to get iMessage working I had to edit my Clover's SMBIOS entries. Three numbers are important:

1st OS X S/N. It has to be a valid, yet unregistered ID. The wand tool of CloverConfigurator did not help me with that. I took an ID from my old Chimera smbios.plist and modified the numbers (not the letters) in it to make it valid but unused.

2nd the smUUID: it has to be a unique one. Read "part 2" of the guide.

3rd: the MLB and ROM value: since MLB is calculated from smUUID by Clover I only had to "make up" a ROM value. I took my unique OS X S/N and added five random hexadecimal numbers to it (ROM has 17 digits).

The only thing I have to do now is call Apple and ask them to release the ban from my Apple-ID because I had changed the UUID too often.

My steps:

1. Serial Number
Generate via Config Configurator SMBIOS wizard, keys:
1) click "shake" many times, to void duplications.
2) check it at apple's site, to make sure no register records.


2. SmUUID
generate it via uuidgen shell command, keys:
1) generate many times, to void duplications.

3. Board Serial Number
copy it from iMessageDebug tools.

4. ROM
last 6 characters of SmUUID, for example:
SmUUID: 89C01102-7545-4EA7-BF03-40623BA99817
ROM: A99817

5. MLB
same as Board Serial Number

Result: can't active, pop up windows ask me to contact with Apple.

PS: I don't tried phone call Apple to remove ban.

My question:
1. Are there possible that add me to some black list due too many tries??
2. Phone call to Apple is an mandatory step??

Yes/Yes.

Phone call to Apple, the customer support ask S/N, I told him mine(generate following guide), he told me can't find it in their system, so can't help me to remove ban.
