A hundred and eleventy-thirty thanks for this guide. It's been over a year since I had iMessages up and running. Very, very, very happy about that.
The guide worked like a charm the first full time through.
About half-way through the guide I realized I had overlooked the instructions to unplug my computer from the internet. So I started over from the beginning. Completely my fault for not reading the instructions more closely and reading them from start to finish before beginning.
Given the above, if you wanted to further idiot-proof the guide for people like me, you might consider adding a couple of additional instructions at the start of the guide, e.g.
1. Inform them they'll be operating without internet for most of the guide, and will need to plan ahead accordingly:
2. *First* download the help files, with links at the top for: Clover Configurator - iMessageDebugv2 - simpleMLB - DPCIManager
3. Copy/paste the instructions into a text file, complete with pictures, for reference when offline. (Or provide one?)
4. Recommend having a second computer (or iPhone) with internet access, in order to check serial numbers.
5. Harder to miss instructions to...
<------------------------- UNPLUG COMPUTER FROM INTERNET BEFORE CONTINUING ------------------------->
Or not. Even I figured it out soon enough
