fau7i Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 MLB is not the same as serial number. It starts with the same few characters but it is the the Main Logic Board (i.e. motherboard) serial number which is not the same as system serial number. I don't think it's yet known if that needs to be unique so try creating a dummy one with the first 3 characters of your system serial number (i.e. C02) and then 14 other characters. For ROM, use the ethernet mac of en0 on your hack. I don't have time to test whether this works but its worth a shot for those of you without a real mac to use the values from. Worked this way for me. Clover adds the ROM for you from the ethernet MAC so it's not necessary. With Clover r980, adding 5 more characters at the end of system serial number ( C02XXXXXXXXXFAU7I ) does the job. And yes, ROM isn't necessary here.

eep357 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Download and install Clover_v2_rL980.zip and use default settings other than setting it to HFSPlus.efi, OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi because i have a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P (rev 1.1), F10 Bios, then and RtVariables MLB XXXXXXXXXXX123456 to some kind of plist, and I'm good? It's added to the config.plist which is Clover's version of org.chameleon.Boot.plist. The MLB is going to be the same serial # your already using/have now that can be seen in System Information. You just need to add some junk to make it a little longer, i.e. 17 digits instead of only 11 digits.

dannymichel Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ok, so the other stuff was correct then? About using that option for my board, and leaving the other settings as default when I install clover to / on my HDD?

eep357 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd rather keep it open for now, since fix is still new, on topic discussion may still be needed. So please stay on topic people!

By chance do you have a real mac to try logging in with your apple id to see if you still get the error. That would help narrow down to whether this is a problem with the hack or a problem with your apple id.

eep357 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 For MLB I have been adding the extra 6 digits to serial before the last 3 like this: XXXXXXXX234567XXX where the X is all orig serial number.
