Keep in mind, this is just the bare basics for the Messages fix part and can't possibly cover every different type of system you all may have, there's a full 2 pages of detailed instructions and different hardware config options here      Clover v.2 Instructions

I've try to change serial but none edits works....
It's randomly generated a serial by Clover.
What I have to do?

I've the "Call Support" error. I tried to change the password, but none of these methods work.

You didn't have a randomly generated serial # when using Chameleon, you had one in your smbios and it's the same one you should be using now. That information should have been copied (by you) into the Clover config.plist, along with renaming of the <key>'s to match the Clover format.

Hmm, that's weird - this used to simply say Mac Pro, but says Mac Pro,3.1 now

[edit] just realized my phone number was in that screenshot

Dear Daniel,
Your Apple ID (danielxxxxxxx@gmail.com) was used to sign in to iMessage on a Mac Pro named “MacPro3,1”.

No host/computer name set in Preferences>Sharing, so default's to that. Changing stuffs will cause it to be erased for that location. Just retype it and hit enter. And I added quite a few missing keys to your SMBIOS section that could also play a part...In a good way I would hope

[dannymichel]

Thanks again eep357.
I'm assuming you saw that before i deleted it. Just don't call after 10pm.

eep357 (or any other Clover user),

While I'm planning my Sunday bootloader project, in your experience is it necessary to de-authorize a computer in iTunes before switching over?  Will any of the iCloud/iTunes authorizations need to be re-done if I keep the same values I'm using in Chameleon (more or less, I realize the iMessage fix requires an added value) or have you seen this be a sufficient change to require another authorization with Apple?  

My shuffling with onboard versus PCI ethernet cards last summer left me in a funky state where I have 4 computers and 5 used authorizations and I need to wait a bit still before I can reset them all!

I am unsuccessful with installing clover.  I executed the command line and it fails.  Can someone post the package to make this a bit simpler?  My script error is "line 249: base tools: unbound variable"

iTunes will ask you to re-authorize, and then will say "this computers already been authorized" like it always does as long as your not making major changes. Keep same SMBIOS values and serial, it will be fine.

after the 7 appears, just wait like 2-3 mins, trust me. It's just having a little trouble reading something on there, but will come up eventually.

i waited for about 25 min and nothing happens. i can try install in my hdd but, need a fix for the boot1 error.

Once a pkg is made, people will download it, and since this is new fix/first revision, they won't get needed updates or improvements if/when released. It really is better to build it, and you'll want the ability so you can update in the future as well. Check line 249 using a text editor (preferably Text Wrangler or similar that has lines numbered). Should have

echob "  Make EDK II Revision $basetools BaseTools"

with the "" being present, fix it if needed. If already correct, try reinstalling xcode command line tools and verify all your file permissions are correct (home's download folder too which is not checked by Disk Utility), unless dmazar has other suggestions

I'm no Clover guru and Google knows more than I do

[mendietinha]

thanks, but what i know about boot1 is copy boot1h from the bootloader to a usb, enter the instalation, unmount the osx partition and in the terminal, copy the boot1h to the osx partition from the usb. i did it and remains the boot1 error. i have installed in a mbr scheme.

thanks.

Clovers "core" center seems to be manipulation of "config.plist".
I've done to config. for basic use.

Make sure using all (assuming 64bit) files only

exactly, it's boot.plist, smbios.plist and just about any other plist you can think of, all rolled up in one big config

Works great for getting iMessage working.

Now I just need to figure out how to get my ALC892 working again.

I'm not an expert either, but I don't believe I was using a DSDT

All I had to do was load the kext previously with chameleon

[3square]

FYI you can instal it and boot it via USB login to iMessage then revert back to chameleon. Incase you don't want to run Clover and keep Chameleon.

[eep357]

or install the kext you were using from /Extra to /System/Library/Extensions, or copy to Clover's kext folder for 10.8, or..other stuff too, probably

Tried both, it actually loads the kext successfully but no audio device


It's very possible that I just have no idea what I'm doing

This is what I'm currently doing, but I prefer to get it working so I can install it to the startup disk and use Clover instead of Chameleon.
