I just installed a fresh Sierra and my first Hackintosh. It was really easy thanks to the install guide and especially thanks to
wildwillo's https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...0-deluxe-i5-6600k-gtx970-ssc-32gb-ram.188027/

Basically, everything works perfectly right now, except logging into the app store and iMessage. Those are the services I have tried so far, but somehow iCloud works. I have tried some suggestions I have found, like deleting (/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and deleting "NetworkInterfaces.plist" and "preferences.plist".)

I am using Wifi, not ethernet. In my system info, it says "Interfaces: en0:"

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My Hackintosh would be perfect if this got fixed.
 
Try setting a different serial number in SMBIOS screen of Clover Configurator.

  1. Go to the SMBIOS section and click on the magic wand. Match the specs options as best you can to your machine. On the two sections that say shake, click a few times to generate a random serial. Click ok.
  2. Go to https://checkcoverage.apple.com and enter your new serial, if it gives an error then it means its OK and not in use by somebody else
Then App Store and iMessage should work

Thanks for the reply! I actually just found a thread talking about that method. I've tried 7 different codes now and none of them are working. I'll keep trying.

EDIT: Just received this "We're SorryYou've reached the code limit and we're unable to complete your request. Please try again later."
 
Just remember this is what you want to see "An Error Message" meaning it's a serial you CAN use !!!

I can't believe I was this stupid. Thanks so much! I'll do this now and continue the rest of the steps on this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-thinkserver-ts140-i3-4330-hd4600-yosemite-clover.171528/

Currently on the step where I have to "Open the Utilities folder and run MLBGen17V3." I am in the utility folder now, but I don't see any file or app called MLBGen17V3.

EDIT:
So far I'm still getting error in App Store.

Attach ioreg as ZIP: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.
 
Thank you so much for trying to help, but I actually just found out the solution thanks to wildwillow in the other thread. I just needed to install the ethernet drivers, then delete NetworkInterfaces.plist and restart! Stupid me :D

Marked solved.
