How to Fix iMessage

[haze295]

I needed to come on and say that 2.0 tutorial worked 100%

(I went through every step and followed each one until issue was found) - PERFECT tutorial!!!

1. My original info was Black listed because there was an error in my MLB SN
2. Created new set of all numbers using system
3. I have 2 step up and running so after compiling and verifying using message deub, i logged in and was asked to crate a password strictly for my iMessage and FaceTime on new machine

4. system is now fully functional again.

5. Thread creator deserves a medal for his!!!!!

I had the same problem with the "Failed" on BoardSerialNumber field and solve it following the steps of "Reset FileNVRAM Plist" of this guide, then use a MLB Generator again, restart and run iMessage dubug to verify that the valors reamain, log into iMessage, obtain a customer code and call apple..etc, etc..

Well I tried resetting FileNVRAM, but for whatever reason I'm not finding any nvram.uuid.plist's. Anywhere. Is it a hidden file?

The question still is what does your partition map look like and is Windows 8.1 installed in UEFI mode. You can boot Clover from a Hybrid MBR if you are not running a pure GPT. It might as simple as installing clover in the EFI partition of your drive but you still haven't posted the "diskutil list" output.

Here's the output, as requested. Windows 8.1 is installed in legacy mode, or I wouldn't have it working at all, as chameleon/chimera doesn't like UEFI windows.

/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *128.0 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:       Microsoft Basic Data                         100.0 GB   disk0s2
   3:                  Apple_HFS Yosemite                27.2 GB    disk0s3
   4:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s4

I get this error "An error occurred during activation. Please try again later."

I had SID bug and successfully fix it. But MLB remain the same on Rom changes if I change system definition. Please help me on this. I thing my Serial number is blacklisted by apple. How can I change me Boardserial Number or MLB?

I have gone through this guide 5 or 6 times now, even reinstalled to clover and nothing. An error occurred during activation. I just cant figure it out.

Clover should still boot a legacy install. You can always try installing it to the EFI partition and then set your board to UEFI boot only. When I was using my Clover with my Mac Pro 1,1, I was booting Windows 7 in legacy mode with Clover and Yosemite on the same HDD. At that time I had Clover installed to its own 1GB partition on the same HDD.

Thats means one or more of your values are not correct. For me when I first started working on it, I didn't have any RT Values specified. Use Message Debug to see if all values are entered. If anything says failed or appears blank then something is missing.

I finally got mine fixed! Mine worked before Apple started blocking stuff, but then it stopped working, and I was too lazy to modify values.

I waited and waited, and then when I tried to log in again a couple days ago, I got an error. I remembered that I re-installed 10.9.5 from scratch (for some reason I can't remember), so I went through my time machine backups, found two nvram files in my /Extra folder and copied those over to my current install's /Extra folder, then found FileNVRAM.diylib in the /Extra/modules folder in the TM backup, and copied those over to my current machine's /Extra/modules folder, ran KextUtility, rebooted, and...

It works again! I'm quite uninterested in updating to Yosemite, so I'll keep this the way it is to enjoy iMessaging within Mavericks probably until 10.11.2 / 11.0.2 comes out. I don't have an iPhone/iPad, but it's great being able to message my wife on her iPhone, instead of using Google Voice for SMS.

I can't believe I got mine fixed too like 15 minutes ago! I've been trying for weeks off and on again to get this working, always checking this Guide to see if there has been an update, trying new techniques as they've been mentioned but still nothing. At one point I almost gave up but my terrible habit of never letting things go got the best of me and I kept trying and trying and finally I just started the whole process over by regenerating my System Definition, smUUID, ROM and MLB and low 'n behold it works!!

I feel such a relief that it works now. I should also note that I have 2FA turned on for my account so it becomes increasingly more annoying having to generate app-specific passwords, but its all worth it in the end for better security.
