This guide is intended to be a quick and easy guide(with pictures) to correctly configure your system SMBIOS.
Open Settings > Go to iCloud > Open Account Details.
Click on the "Devices" tab. Remove unwanted devices if you have any.
Click on Done. And Sign Out of your "iCloud" account.
Disconnect from the network and then restart.
Open Clover Configurator from Applications. If you have not installed it on your system then refer to the "Downloads" section of this post.
Mount the EFI partition.
Then File>Open>EFI/Clover/config.plist
In the left pane select Rt Variables
From the ROM dropdown list select UseMacAddr0
Make sure that the MLB box is empty
Set BooterConfig to 0x28
Set CsrActiveConfig to 0x67
In the left pane select SMBIOS
Click the Magic Wand Tool
Click on the picture appropriate for your intended system definition.
From the drop down box choose the desired system definition. Click on the shake buttons several times to generate a serial number. Click on OK.
Copy the serial number and check it on https://checkcoverage.apple.com. Paste the serial number which is generated into the "Enter your hardware serial number". Click on Continue.
If you see the message "Your service and support coverage" and a picture of a computer then you have generated a serial number which is already registered with apple. Do not use this serial number and select the magic wand. Generate a new serial number and check it again with https://checkcoverage.apple.com.
If you see a message "We're sorry, but this serial number is not valid.Please check your information and try again." then it is ok to use the serial number for your config.plist.
Open terminal and type "uuidgen" to generate the system SMUUID and press Enter/Return button. Do this several times to generate random UUID's.
Copy the generated UUID into the SMUUID field of the Clover Configurator.
In Clover Configurator, Click on File then Save.
Quit Clover Configurator and then restart.
Again, open "Clover Configurator" from Applications.
Mount the EFI partition.
File>Open> Open config.plist file.
Open a terminal window and drag drop the simpleMLB.sh from Finder and press Enter/Return. Copy the generated number and paste into the Clover Configurator > SMBIOS > Board Serial Number.For the "simpleMLB.sh" file refer to the "Downloads" section.
Save the file.
File>Save. Your SMBIOS configuration for your system is saved in "config.plist".
Restart the system.
Now go to Settings>iCloud. Sign In back to your system.
You successfully configured SMBIOS for your system!
