BoardSerialNumber: (null)

[Jesahel]

Hi, I've been trying to get iMessage working for a while. I built my SMBIOS following the iMessage guide (and the RT variables method; though, writing the MLB in the SMBIOS field, leaving the RT blank, didn't work either). Still, when I launch iMessage Debug, I get that null value in the MLB field: how comes Clover cannot "write" my serial? I checked the NVRAM with the "nvram -p" command, and it seems like there's an old MLB value stored there. iMessage will never work if I don't get how to solve this.
The system is the one described below, in my signature. Tell me if you need any dump other than the iMessage Debug one.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Clear your old NVRAM values with :

sudo nvram -c

Thanks for the suggestion, but it just reset my Clover boot settings (luckily I still have a PS2 keyboard, so I had no problems booting into OS X). Should I try and do it again, writing the MLB in the SMBIOS panel instead of the Rt variables one, in your opinion? It's strange that even cleaning the nvram didn't help storing the value...

I had same problem and the only solution was to install clover on another hdd instead of the one with the OS, and it worked.

Same *exact* problem here, and nothing I did caused the MLB number to be anything other than "null" in ImessageDebug.

But...I finally found an unchecked driver in Clover that, when downloaded and enabled, fixed the problem.

After opening your boot drive's config.plist with Clover:
*Go to Install Drivers
*In the Drivers UEFI 64 Bit section, download and install EmuVariableUefi
*Save the config.plist and reboot

Now, finally, iMessage and FaceTime work.
