use sudo?

Mendietinha, you must access your account on a legit iOS/Mac hardware to solve this issue.

The UUID is read out form your machine's SMBios, we used the value in the bios and not the overwritten value, so it may be different if you have manually specified a uuid / system id somewhere.Thanks!, sudo lets me enter the values but it enters them into /Extra/nvram.44454c4c-5400-1037-8058-b1c04f544631.plist. My UUID is supposed to be "371A61AF-D774-58C5-870D-82C4D7054ED8" according to ioreg so I don't understand why the difference. Is there a way I am supposed to enter the UUID I got from ioreg?

I don't know why but when I use the uuid from ioreg, it gives me the value 371A61AF-D774-58C5-870D-82C4D7054ED8. When I delete the nvram.plist and the one in Extra, it creates new ones with a different UUID, 4D1EDE05-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B38C14 and populates nvram with that. I've had up to 3 different UUID:MLB combinations in nvram at the same time according to nvram -p and still get the server error message from iMessage.
This last time I went through and deleted all of the nvram UUID except for 371A61AF-D774-58C5-870D-82C4D7054ED8:MLB & ROM entries and got 2 kp in a row. on the 3rd boot, it booted but now has 2 UUID:MLB & ROM entries for the 2 UUID's above.

Manually specifying the plist path is not supported.
If you can PM me a picture of the panic as well as the nvram.plist, the output of nvram -xp and of bmesg, I'll look into it.

I haven't specified a UUID anywhere that I am aware of. the output of my nvram and ioreg are below. The 4D1EDE05-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B38C14 UUID is generated when I boot nvram.plist removed. If I delete the 4D1E values using nvram and reboot, it comes back.
You should also have a file in /Extra with the name nvram.[left]371A61AF-D774-58C5-870D-82C4D7054ED8.plist where the UUID here corresponds to your machine's UUID.
This probably means that the SMBios UUID was never filled in by your motherboard manufacturer, making the UUID not so unique.My NVRAM file has the UUID of 00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009 (file is named nvram.00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009.plist). This looks to be faked value. When i export PlatformUUID fro ioreg, i get 55ADE930-5FDF-5EC4-8429-15640684C489. Doesn't look to be impacting anything but wanted to report it in case it's a bug.
We decided to make the hidden variables visible, this is supposed to happen. We can always hide it in the future if it's requested.Also, usually when you execute nvram -p you don't see the MLB and ROM (verified on a hack running clover and on a real mac) but when i'm using this Chameleon fix, it prints out. Not sure if it should be there or not. Without seeing the source code for the nvram module it's hard to say whether that's the intended result or not.

I missread your earlier post.
4D1EDE05-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B38C14 is the UUID that apple uses to specify an nvram variable is really an efi runtime variable. If the MLB or ROM values do not exist, these will be generated for you.
You should also have a file in /Extra with the name nvram.[left]371A61AF-D774-58C5-870D-82C4D7054ED8.plist where the UUID here corresponds to your machine's UUID.

Same here. The output by nvram -xp shows uuid which is not same as my hardware uuid in system profile or the systemid I inject in Chameleon.The name of the file I have in Extra is nvram.44454c4c-5400-1037-8058-b1c04f544631.plist which was also automatically generated. I tried to change the file name and I don't have permissions. I can always change the permissions but didn't want to unless that's what I need to do.
I wasn't able to send you a PM.
Thanks Again!
Here's the output of nvram -xp. It lists 2 different UUIDs but not the same as the file name from above. I swear I'm not makin these numbers up
So you are saying that all real mac has the same 4D1EDE05-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B38C14 for nvram variable or just got this string from one real mac ?I missread your earlier post.

By the way, chameleon did not automatically generate any UUID.plist in my extra folder. I am using GPT, efi partition.

Gotcha. Will the module generate plist automatically? It does not in my efi partition thoughYes that 4D1 is an application specific UUID.. There may be more. Every mac has them stored in efi/nvram. The UUID that the nvram.plist is named with comes from YOUR MOTHERBOARD. IE, it's not related to anything else.

The plist is automatically created in the /Extra folder (on the root of the booted drive), it does not touch any other partitions. If you do not have an extra folder, it will not create it for you, and as such, the plist will not be created.

So does the filename in /Extra make a difference? I can't get iMessage working, still getting the same server error though I can boot Clover off a USB stick and get back in just fine. You can see from my nvram -xp above that I have the UUID from ioreg and another one both with MLB and ROM data but the file name is different still.This file is automatically generated on the root of os x partition that is booted. It will only be generated if the /Extra folder exists.
