fake_mac Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 New to OSX86 virtualization, but hoping someone has gotten farther than I. Upgrading all the Macs in the house to 10.10, and saved off the install. Unlocked VMWare PLayer 7 for Mac OS X install on my Win7 box. Used this tutorial to make a Yosemite install from one of the Macs: http://forums.appleinsider.com/t/159955/howto-create-bootable-mavericks-iso Installed 10.10 on VMWare Player. Boots fine. Alas, no iMessage, and really that's the primary reason I wanted to get it running on my Win box. (I know, lame reason, but it's my reason...) So, I go to this tutorial: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/302347-clover-imessagefacetime-fix-for-yosemite/?hl=%2Byosemite+%2Bimessage#entry2083250 which says I really just need to use clover bootloader. Alas, I am too new to this to get Clover to work :-) Was wondering if someone had clover working on VMWare with 10.10 or maybe even 10.9, and could share how they did it. I have found: 10.10 clover tutorials 10.10 vmware tutorials But, I can't seem to find folks who have installed clover and 10.10 on VMWare. Was hoping someone here has. fake_mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besweeet Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I've been able to get to the Clover interface, but immediately after selecting my Yosemite partition, VMware says that there was an issue with the firmware, and it shut it down. No idea how to avoid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOzbourne Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Check out this post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292170-how-to-spoof-real-mac-in-vmware/ I don't think it is possible to use iMessage under VMWare yet. There seems to be some stuff that needs to be passed to Apple's servers for verification that isn't right now. I am having the same issue with Facetime.

There seems to be some stuff that needs to be passed to Apple's servers for verification that isn't right now. I am having the same issue with Facetime. iMessage is still working fine with my Mac OS X 10.8.3 VM using my MacBook Air's MLB and ROM values. It boots with Chameleon. I still think that the main issue with Yosemite is getting it to boot with a third-party bootloader, rather than VMware's native EFI loader. I just can't get it to boot with anything else. Once that's done, people should be able to insert their values like usual and things should work. That's just theoretically speaking, of course.

MSoK Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 iMessage is still working fine with my Mac OS X 10.8.3 VM using my MacBook Air's MLB and ROM values. It boots with Chameleon.

Once that's done, people should be able to insert their values like usual and things should work. That's just theoretically speaking, of course. Bs, The new version of VMware Fusion 7 has added two new parameter which allows for the injection of the MLB and ROM settings from a "real" Mac to allow iMessage to work in a virtual machine, this has been confirmed by Donk, see link below: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292170-how-to-spoof-real-mac-in-vmware/?p=2084783 We need to confirm the parameters are in the released version of Workstation 11, they were not in the technical preview, and test once Donk has released the new unlocker v2.0.
