Beefcat Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi, After many failed attempts trying to get my friends IMessage to work, I'm hoping that you guys can perhaps share your thoughts. Can IMessage work on an Hackintosh without having a purchased IPhone or a real Mac ? Please share your experiences. We have successfully installed OSX 10.11.6 on Gigabyte Z170-hd3. - Created AppleID and registered card details etc.. - Using Clover boot loader. - Using IMac 17,1 SMBIOS - ImessageDebug reports everything fine We have looked at many forums and followed a number of guides without any success for iMessage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an useful link. https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/SMBIOS Generate a new SmUUID with the following command in terminal. uuidgen Complete the same UUID in the SystemParameters - CustomUUID.Mark as true the InjectSystemID option in the same Menu. Generate an unique Seria Number and BoardSerialNumber. Search on google for instructions on how to generate the BoardSerialNumber. Clean the iMessage's app cache and configuration files. Best of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck. Thank you, i missed stepped 2 where you copy the same uuid into CustomerUUID under systemParamaters. Will try it. Also did you replace the last pairs of digits with the MAC address of your ethernet card for SmUUID Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post your config.plist file and I will create an example for you. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergot Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi Needy, I did those steps before using Mac pro SMBIOS but than my clover boot menu is changed and seems like i cannot boot into the OS. Any idea why? by the way i used a real MacBook pro to generate ID's using imessagefix file generator The funny thing is, i can register to iMessages , i cannot send messages but when i send message from my iPhone i can see it on computer and than i can receive and send messages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using a recent version of clover press the space bar on the entry you want to boot MacOS from, check the verbose option and press boot blah blah with selected options. Otherwise, go to the options menu and add the -v boot flag. Post a picture of what you see. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
