Thanks, that's helpful. Ah, so whether or not the GPU is "supported" is more of a digital handshake issue when trying to clone a model—we have to be cloning with a GPU Apple actually puts in their machines, otherwise... (something?) will never work because (something on Apple's end?) prevents...

And my desktop with GTX 980Ti?

No disrespect taken, and none meant in response. To oversimply things, I have researched and am not looking for a quick fix. I have been trying to make iMessage work for over a year now on two different machines and always get stuck at the very last step of chatting with an agent with a customer...

Can I proceed without the card, or is that literally the only reason iMessage isn't working

What does "support" mean in this context? Because this machine runs Catalina from a visual performance perspective just fine. Are you saying my Nvidia card is the direct reason why my Clover changes aren't sticking? Why are we suddenly abandoning your PlistEditPro/Xcode software attempt?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why? What's the PlistEditPro/Xcode procedure? I thought that's what we were trying next. I thought that was meant to try and resolve why the debug was indicating that my clover changes weren't saving.

in that case, no, just the nvidia card.

Honestly no idea. I've been so used to my machines generally always coming with built-in intel graphics in addition to whatever GPU I had, I never even realized that there was a possibility that intel machines don't necessarily automatically have it. I can't seem to find any obvious indication...

Well shoot, that's my laptop. How about my desktop w/ i7-5820K, MSI X99S SLI Krait Edition, & EVGA GTX 980Ti? I see the 980Ti listed as a compatible Maxwell GPU but I'm not sure if the CPU/mobo are ruining things. For the RTX 2070 laptop, does that mean Catalina as I currently view it running...

Updated my mobo; didn't realize my profile had mixed and matched some of my desktop and some of my laptop. And I'm not sure where else I could be editing a config from but it's after mounting the EFI partition and then selecting it under the /EFI folder. Other behavior I'm just now noticing...

I just noticed something about the debug - the serial #/model/etc isn't matching up with the new numbers I more recently generated in clover! Is there something I'm not doing that is preventing my new attempts from sticking? Per the instructions, I thought that after generating a valid but...

When you say "pick a Mac Model..." I assume you don't literally mean pick a "iMac" desktop model, and that I can pick a "MacBookPro" model right? I've deleted everything possible several times with multiple reboots, and now it seems the common fail point is the SmUUID. I know this because it...

I can't remember if I mentioned previously that I tried on both a laptop and a desktop. But the MacBookPro15,1 is for a laptop and indeed it does have pretty high specs. When i tried on the desktop I had that emulating a highend iMac desktop model (can't remember off the top of my head what...

Does BS = Big Sur? If so, no I'm not; I'm running Catalina. My "Product Name" is MacBookPro15,1. I vaguely recall specifically choosing this model because it has an identical CPU to my host machine.

I loaded my config with existing serial #, clicked generate new for SmUUID several times, saved/quit/restarted, and ran Debug, and same issue (failed system ID). It was then that I noticed I hadn't updated Clover for like, a year, so I updated it. Upon opening the updated version of Clover, I...
