iCloud not working on Mavericks (13A603)

[cultura]

Hi guys.. 

 

First of all let me say I'm new to the whole hackintosh scene. I have understood the basics, but certainly not an expert. These last two weeks I've been trying to install OS X 10.9 on my MSI GE70 (specs below), with success! Managed to get most everything working except for iCloud.

 

I realize this is a common issue and so I have searched the forums for a solution as I have with any other of my hackintosh related problems. However I didn't find a working solution for this.

Specs:
MODEL: MSI GE70 2OE
CPU: Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.40GHz (Haswell)
GRAPHICS: Intel HD 4600 + Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M 2GB GDDR5
STORAGE: 120GB SSD Raid (Windows) + 750GB HHD Sata (OSX) (Using AHCIPortInjector to boot RAID in bios)
SOUND: Realtek ACL892 
ETHERNET: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200 
WIFI: TP-Link TL-WN725N (v.2.0) USB (bought this one because my built in wifi card was unsupported)

I've tried "everything".. It seems it's "required" that you have an ethernet connection as your main connection (en0) and that this ethernet is "built-in". I've managed to achieve this by doing fresh re-install with only the ethernet connection available (and fully working thanks to ALXEthernet Killer e2200 kext). I checked in the NetworkInterfaces.plist and the connection is indeed both "en0" and "IOBuiltin" is "true".

 

I've used a MacbookAir6,2 smbios, tried setting the "device-properties" and (both at the same time and not) set "EthernetBuiltIn" in the Chameleon boot plist, updated Chameleon to latest version.. Hell, I even created a new apple id to ensure there wasn't anything wrong with my current one.. But all with no luck..

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

ok 

just put attach kext in S/L/E 

repair with kext utility

reboot

you must have in your boot.plist

this string

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>

<string>Yes</string>

reply if it's ok 

PlatformUUID.kext.zip

Thank you for your suggestion arcade33, but unfortunately still no luck

 

Did as you suggested, except you wrote boot.plist (but mine is "org.chameleon.Boot.plist"). Don't know if it makes any difference.

[arcade33]

my "org.chameleon.Boot.plist "is 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

my smbios.plist is

like you can see i use CHAMPLIST to get a good hack 

MAVERICKS is installed on a labtop " DELL VOSTRO 1710 "

if your ethernet card is working well 

and that you have " <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>

                                <string>Yes</string>

in your " org.chameleon.Boot.plist "

your problem is coming from your " smbios.plist " 

can you login in the APPSTORE  ????

i have 4 hacks on MAVERICKS and all is working like a charm 

so if you don't know how use CHAMPLIST , i'll help you 

post and i'll reply 

 

Champlist.app.zip

Didn't work either :-( This is really getting on my nerves...

[arcade33]

ok ok don't be nervous 

it's your first hack ?????

give me your smbios.plist and your chameleon.boot.plist 

and i repeat " had you created an account APPLE STORE"

[cultura]

Yes this is my first (successful) hack. 

Yes I can login to App Store. Only iCloud doesn't work. The error is: "Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud.".

 

Edit: Also FaceTime and iMessage doesn't work. However this is an activation error instead.

Hey try using Chameleon Wizard, then go to the modules tab, then check FileNVRAM.dylib. I vaguely remember this fixing it

[cultura]

Hi mvd120. I allready tried that and now just tried it again - no luck

[warlikewings]

For me running clover worked, having my internal Ethernet card kext installed (though I don't use it) also seemed mandatory, and editing the smbios through clover configurator. If you're able to, I'd try switching to clover on a usb stick and see if it helps anything

For your laptop, you probably want to be running the smbios for MacBookPro 11,2 or 11,3 see which works better
