Hello guys. I have followed every steps and i selected iMac 14,1 but when I checked on the site Everymac it said that ID is for 14,3. Will that be a problem ?

Thanks

FINALLY I have iMessage working. Thank you. Rather than upgrading from 10.12.3 to 10.12.4 I thought I'd do a clean install and see if I could get iMessage working. Setup below.

After trying this idiot's guide several times in the past I FINALLY picked up on this one line:
If you follow the guide and get a failed ROM in iMessageDebug you may need to install EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC Scripts with the Clover installer. This seems to particularly apply to those with 100 series motherboards.

I figured out how to install EmuVariableUefi-64, could not figure out how to do the RC Scripts thing, but no matter, it worked. The ROM finally showed up in iMessageDebug. Now I just have to fix the audio in FaceTime. I sound like Darth Vader to the person I'm calling and they sound like Alvin the Chipmunk.

Funny how it works when you actually follow the instructions.

FYI :

Good luck with the Star Wars Chipmunks.
