Here's the output, as requested. Windows 8.1 is installed in legacy mode, or I wouldn't have it working at all, as chameleon/chimera doesn't like UEFI windows.


Code:

Clover should still boot a legacy install. You can always try installing it to the EFI partition and then set your board to UEFI boot only. When I was using my Clover with my Mac Pro 1,1, I was booting Windows 7 in legacy mode with Clover and Yosemite on the same HDD. At that time I had Clover installed to its own 1GB partition on the same HDD.
 
I have gone through this guide 5 or 6 times now, even reinstalled to clover and nothing. An error occurred during activation. I just cant figure it out.

Thats means one or more of your values are not correct. For me when I first started working on it, I didn't have any RT Values specified. Use Message Debug to see if all values are entered. If anything says failed or appears blank then something is missing.
 
I finally got mine fixed! Mine worked before Apple started blocking stuff, but then it stopped working, and I was too lazy to modify values.

I waited and waited, and then when I tried to log in again a couple days ago, I got an error. I remembered that I re-installed 10.9.5 from scratch (for some reason I can't remember), so I went through my time machine backups, found two nvram files in my /Extra folder and copied those over to my current install's /Extra folder, then found FileNVRAM.diylib in the /Extra/modules folder in the TM backup, and copied those over to my current machine's /Extra/modules folder, ran KextUtility, rebooted, and...

It works again! I'm quite uninterested in updating to Yosemite, so I'll keep this the way it is to enjoy iMessaging within Mavericks probably until 10.11.2 / 11.0.2 comes out. I don't have an iPhone/iPad, but it's great being able to message my wife on her iPhone, instead of using Google Voice for SMS.:clap:

I can't believe I got mine fixed too like 15 minutes ago! I've been trying for weeks off and on again to get this working, always checking this Guide to see if there has been an update, trying new techniques as they've been mentioned but still nothing. At one point I almost gave up but my terrible habit of never letting things go got the best of me and I kept trying and trying and finally I just started the whole process over by regenerating my System Definition, smUUID, ROM and MLB and low 'n behold it works!!

I feel such a relief that it works now. I should also note that I have 2FA turned on for my account so it becomes increasingly more annoying having to generate app-specific passwords, but its all worth it in the end for better security.
 
I get this error "An error occurred during activation. Please try again later."

I had SID bug and successfully fix it. But MLB remain the same on Rom changes if I change system definition. Please help me on this. I thing my Serial number is blacklisted by apple. How can I change me Boardserial Number or MLB?

@086_naseer & @Riztnack,

That sort of error indicates that there is an issue with one of OSX low-level ID's (or a hardware/software network issue) - and iMessage can not communicate with the iMessage servers ..... if the problem is ID related then tends to be an issue with your Hardware (Platform) UUID ... As expand in Chapter 5 of the guide it is derived from the SmUUID (System-ID) during OS X boot. Suggest that you both generate new SmUUID via 'uuidgen' and inject via SMBIOS using Clover. Ensure that you are not using 'Custom UUID' on the System Perimeters page of Clover (should be blank) and that 'Inject System-ID is checked' :-

Screen Shot 2015-02-28 at 13.04.58.png
Check that new SmUUID is persistent and that Hardware (Platform) UUID is persistent and valid - it all explained in detail in Chapter 5 of the guide.

This error is also associated with non-valid S/N and/or S/N & System Type miss-match, this type of error is not normally associated with your MLB and/or ROM values.

Check Your system log for iMessage authentication errors using the console app and the filter function, if you see a generic error message and it has an error code that you don't understand - check it against the list of known iMessage error codes - see Chapter 2 - Error Codes

Good Luck

Hello,


I also get this error "An error occurred during activation. Please try again later."

I got two errors in the Sytem.log related to iMessage:

[Warning] Registration failed for Registration info
[Warning] Needs deletion: NO (Registration info

Both are not in the guide (Chapter 2 -Error Codes)..

I changed a few times with "uuidgen", inject via SMBIOS with Clover and checked several times that these values are persistent.
S/N is valid on selvsolve.apple.com as shown in Chapter 5.

All iCloud services, iTunes, iBook and App-store work except iMessage and FaceTime.

I'm lost. What else can I do?

Thanks for point in the right direction..

I got my message and FaceTime working using my MLB/ROM off my non working mac after calling Apple to white-listing my value. After successfully activation, I realize that my suUUID in SMBIOS is blank and don't have customUUID, neither inject system ID checked. I only have MLB/ROM filled in RT variable.

When I run iMessage debug, smUUID shows failed.

When I reboot my machine, it seems my hardware UUID is consistent.

my question is: Should I just forget it and keep using as it is as it is working or should I generate smUUID and have inject system ID checked in system parameter as you recommend and re attempt to activate?

I don't like to call Apple if you know what I mean.

@tebogo,

Try re-setting iMessage Configuration ... see Chapter 3.3 (Was missing from Index ... sorry)

Cheers

Hello Jay,

Thanks for the quick relpy.

I followed exactly (including the security files):
@tebogo,

Try re-setting iMessage Configuration ... see Chapter 3.3 (Was missing from Index ... sorry)

Rebooted, and tried again:

Error in iMessage (see image)

And again same errors in system.log:

Feb 28 19:40:39 Macbook-Air-WLAN identityservicesd[471]: [Warning] Registration failed for Registration info (0x.................): [Registered: NO] [Type: AppleID] [Device Name: (null)] [Service Type: iMessage] [Env: (null)] [Main ID: ...........

same errors for FaceTime when I try...

On my MacBook Pro (real Apple) and iPhone and iPad I'm able to login with the same credentials....

Any other suggestion?

Thanks!
