I have never tried it so I do not know.
The latest Clover Configurator has the tools to create an iMac17,1 SMBIOS.

Try it and report back if you succeed.

I have tried a lot and have never successfully gotten iMessage working with iMac17,1 system profile.

Using iMac14,2 was successful on first attempt.

Thanks for the guide!!

P1LGRIM,

Thanks for your work on the guide. I got through the part where I created a uuid and entered it (after entering a serial # in clover, plus the rtVariables changes). When I rebooted, I got stuck in a reboot loop at the apple logo. I'm running Sierra.

I'm getting zero info from verbose mode.

Any suggestions? I'm happy to post this elsewhere but not sure where.

Thank you. I just built a Hack this week and got my "proper" wifi and Bluetooth card today. It took me less than 20 minutes and it all worked first time. Even the generated serial I picked was a perfect one out of the 8 or 9 I generated.

Thanks again for your time and willingness to put this together to make it easier for others!
