How to Fix iMessage

[VioletDragon]

Just for the record.. I got everything working!!!
No change in serial.. or any other parts. I Just reran uuidgen like 10 times/ copied the last one into my smuuid, and made the rom from last part of it.
Changed my MLB like we discussed earlier.. You were 100% correct in your MLB theory. Put it in.. Saved Plist in clover.. and then

I deleted everything from.. (below) logged out of of iCloud .. Rebooted and, bada bing, bada bang!!, bob's your uncle.. everything works

• • 1. cd /Users/~username/Library/Caches/
    2. sudo rm -rf com.apple.iCloudHelper*
    3. sudo rm -rf com.apple.Messages*
    4. sudo rm -rf com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent*
    5. cd /Users/~username/Library/Preferences/
    6. sudo rm -rf com.apple.iChat.*
    7. sudo rm -rf com.apple.icloud.*
    8. sudo rm -rf com.apple.imagent.*
    9. sudo rm -rf com.apple.imessage.*
    10. sudo rm -rf com.apple.imservice.*
    11. sudo rm -rf com.apple.ids.service*
    12. sudo rm -rf com.apple.identityserviced*
    13. sudo rm -rf com.apple.security.*

Yep. Having a valid MLB makes a a difference .

I know I've posted this tip in the past but this info will prove invaluable in cases of reinstallation or spec upgrades. Once you've successfully got iMsg/F-Time, Continuity etc working as they should, run DarwinDumper or iMessageDeBugger and make a note or print out a hard copy of the values generated.

This is to keep as a future reference so you won't have to second guess what the previous injected values were that got it all working.

I have tried a lot of ROM/MLB configurations on my Hackintosh PC and Laptop but nothing seems to make the iMessage work. I chose the appropriate system definition from Clover configurator, then enter my physical MAC address in the ROM field and generated an MLB number using SimpleMLB. All the combinations only give me the "contact apple support" error with an error code. I did call apple support too and they couldn't fix it either. I have just given up on using FaceTime and iMessage

Could always find yourself a cheap damaged/water damaged logic board and take the values off it a lot of people have done this.

Well, I am in India so it is quite difficult to get one. I don't use iMessage/Facetime anyways but just wanted it to work.

How is the current state?

1. Do we need a valid serial or can we use a non valid?
2. How do I generate a good MLB? I used simpleMLB before to generate with serial at the end (non valid one).
3. I'm using uuidgen to get SMUIID.
4. I took the rom value from the last part of the uuid.
5. I can't find any valid, but non registered serials.
6. I don't have a supported wifi card.

I tried it before, but I always get iMessage can't be set up on this Mac at this time.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Your setup will never work - looking at your config you have a Generic (Board's Default) Board S/N which also is the MLB value.
C0214030*****T31M will not be accepted by Apple's Servers to enable iMsg/F-Time to function on your hack, i'm afraid you'll need to read the 'Fix iMessage' guide how to formulate and inject a correct value. Good luck
