Thank you for the effort.
2 challenges:
- Your script "simpleMLB.sh.zip" to generate the serial number is empty when I download it. Only the folder structure comes through. So I decided to generate a serial using cloverconfig
- The MLB Generator "MLBGenV17V3" script generates the following error when I run it.
********************
./MLBGen17V3
'R8' NULL
Serial is Incorrect
********************
where 'R8" is characters 4 and 5 of the serial no.
I did managed to get it past the error but that was not using a serial number in my config. Doing this ask for S or M to input. S does not generate anything and says the MAC and ROM is different
Using clover to generate a SN should be fine as long as you use the magic wand to "shake" the values a bunch of times to randomize them. Then you need to check if it's a valid SN per the idiots guide, to be sure it conforms to the correct format AND is a SN that is not in use. Then use simplemlb.sh to generate a MLB value (i've re attached it here, just drag it to an open terminal window). Then use your ETH0 MAC address, or the last portion of your SmUUID as the ROM value.
This should either let you1. Log into IM. or 2. Throw the "Contact apple with customer service code xxx-xxx-xxx" issue (this is where I'm at)
option 2 means you'll have to call apple support and hope they whitelist your rig.
