So, interesting thing happened to me.
I installed OS X, and I went to get iMessage working. I made all my changes to the serial number and everything before I connected to the internet. Got a serial number which said it "wasn't found," but it didn't say it was invalid on the apple store coverage checker. So far so good.
Got that "call apple" message. Well crap.
So I called them up. BSed it a little more than I PROBABLY should have. I gave him my serial number...
And apparently the serial number generated wasn't valid? The clover configurator tool generated a serial number with an O in it. This didn't seem like a problem to me - but when I was reading the number off to the guy, he said "Our serial numbers don't have O's in them."
So I said it had to have been a 0. Which then came back saying it was invalid. So at that point I had to end the call - and now I'm stuck here afraid that the guy thinks I stole a mac hahahaha.
In any case - has this happened to anyone else?
You have to distinguish between the character '0' (zero) and the letter 'O' which according to your post is confusing on what characters you relayed to the Apple tech when you quoted your s/n. I would advise to run iMessage DeBugger and have a look at the given values of the readout or post them in the forum and someone will tell you if there is anything suspect in the given values. Good luck.
