[help] Fix AppStore iCloud iMessage on 10.9 using clover

[JahStories]

hi there, i've waited a while but i need help

i've been trying to fix App Store iCloud etc access on 10.9 with clover but even renaming the wificard under network en0 deleting the networkconfiguration plist, adding serial number and mac address to clover config plist, i can't log in... :/ any help?

[artur_pt]

hello

 

this is an example...

<key>RtVariables</key>
   <dict>
      <key>MLB</key>
      <string>C12340002F612340M</string>
      <key>ROM</key>
      <data>000000I6Mzk6OWI6M000000=</data>
   </dict>

that numbers no need to be valid

 

ethernet > en0

 

ethernetbuitin=yes

 

must have a credit card associated to u apple id

 

good hack

[JahStories]

but i've got no ethernet on my laptop, i'm on usb wifi, will it work?

and ethernetbuiltin=yes works with clover?

[artur_pt]

hello

 

that is the problem...

 

ethernet in en0

 

wifi in en1

 

good hack

[JahStories]

i've just to rename the network to en1 right?

tried, it didn't worked 

i've even tried changing the code in the clover config plist :/

I've got my ethernet as en2 and wifi as en0 since the GM and I've had no problem at all with iCloud or Messages. I've tested several times the device numeration and I believe it doesn't matter anymore. I even tested without ethernet device (no kext and removed info from the DSDT) and I've had no problem enabling iCloud. And the MLB and ROM strings have been deprecated since r2000, it will all be filled automatically from your SMBIOS info.

 

Perhaps you're using bad info in your SMBIOS or you need to add the credit card to your AppleID.

[JahStories]

i've a credit card connected with the account, even tried change the smbios from MacBook Air 5,1 to mbp9,2

[Maniac10]

Post your SMBIOS section. I only inject ProductName and SerialNumber.

[fau7i]

Credit card in Apple account is not a must. What you need to do is letting os x recognizes your ethernet card at least once during icloud setup

although it doesn't connected physically to internet. You can use Wi-fi to complete the login

process. This is what i always do since i only have wireless connection around here and never link my credit card ever.

[JahStories]

i inject in clover.plist just the product name macbookpro9,2 i'm using serial is generated by clover. 

[Maniac10]

Make your own serial number with Chameleon Wizard, delete all connections in the Network PrefPane, delete all network-related plists in "/Library/Preferences/System Configuration" and try again.

[JahStories]

thx i'm trying

Same thing no access at all

[JahStories]

Guys, am i doing something wrong?

i did:

 

removed every network.plist in systemconfiguration

 

changed the product name and the serial in the clover's config.plist

 

removed networks and then renamed wifi to en1

 

i've tried even added and then removed (since it seems deprecated) the strings artur-pt posted

 

any other tip?

[JahStories]

i'm noticing that clover didn't accept my injected serial, here a screen

[Maniac10]

You need to inject "SerialNumber" instead of "BoardSerialNumber":

<key>ProductName</key>
<string>iMac12,2</string>
<key>SerialNumber</key>
<string>G83G4314DHJW</string>

And use a proper plist editor like PlistEdit Pro.

[JahStories]

This wiki http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/SMBIOS doesn't help much

 

B.t.w.

 

Now the serial is recognized, but i still get unknown errors trying to access

[BJMoose]

I'm using chameleon rather than clover, so I don't know if this will work for you.  As you're ready to boot your system, type PCIRootUID=1 and then hit the enter button.  If this works you, you can add it to your boot.plist file so it starts automatically and you won't have to type it every time you boot up.  Hope this helps.

[Maniac10]

You're right that the SerialNumber is missing from the wiki, weird… Don't use the BoardSerialNumber as the SerialNumber as the one shown in the screen capture isn't valid for that. The serial number should be 12 digits, you can create one with Chameleon Wizard.

[JahStories]

@Bj i've added the flag but no go 

 

And yes, Maniac i'm using the 12 digit code generated by cham. wizard but it still not working   

[Maniac10]

Do you have a Mac or iOS device nearby to test your AppleID? Just try logging into iMessages or Facetime.

[JahStories]

i'm logged with my ipad :S

[JahStories]

it seems related to the fact that i don't have any ethernet card :/, but since MacBookAirs don't have it too, there should be an hackintosh way! 

but which?

[fau7i]

You may look for wireless card that natively supported and use MacBook Air smbios.

[550318159]

You could try to fix your dsdt to make your ethernet built-in. I've found an interesting thing that my BSD name of ethernet card is en2 but I can log in the APP Store and iCloud.

[JahStories]

@Fau7i, wireless card is soldered on board, not compatible with osx and not interchangeable... :/

 

@Numbers, i'm injecting lan fix via clover to dsdt on every boot and i don't belive, even if i'm using en0, that the name of the network really matter.
