WOW!! Thanks so much for this detailed step-by-step guide. Now I truly have a fully working Hackintosh! Thanks to all of you guys here at tonymac! Rehabman has been enormous help for my M.2 drive and bluetooth, Toledo for audio, and P1LGRIM for iMessages! I'm sure there are more amazing people who put in their time and effort and I'm sorry for not being able to give a good "shoutout" to them, but VERY MUCH APPRECIATION!

Hello,

my iMessage and FaceTime wants to call AppleSupport and give them a code to verify my activation.
In my account is no credit card shown because i dont have one.
The SN is valid, is it save to call them?

Thank you! Fantastic guide! I used it sometime ago and it works perfectly, but in my opinion, for beginners like me, I think an extra recommendation at the end of the guide would be appreciated: clean caches! My system went nuts during some days just because there were some cache files left from the previous "hardware" (S/N and UUID), and I found all kind of weirdness: random panics, sudden logouts from iCloud preferences, logout from other apps like Spotify, apps missing preferences or crashing, etc. Also, all the clover SMBIOS variables should be verified again after updating Clover to a newer version, as they can get corrupted from a previous release (I had this issue too).

Thank you again!

This is awesome, P1lgrim! Thank you so much for putting up this guide - I've been trying for 1 and a half year no to restore iMessage on my hack when I upgraded it to Yosemite.

That's a very, very happy end of a long story - yippi-eye-yeah!

Just finished going through this guide after getting the upgrade to Sierra sorted. Somewhere along the line I messed up the messages which were working fine. This guide helped me put it all straight again. Cheers for the guide P1lgrim! brilliant stuff.
