davidm71 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hi, Recently my girlfriends Macbook Pro 14,2 broke and is now non functional. Was wondering if its possible to use the serial key on back of the laptop as a virtual machine in virtualbox and if so does anyone know where I can find the CPUIDSET and correct boardid that Virtualbox needs to virtualize? Its a mid 2017 MBP14,2 i5 8gb ram model. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidm71 Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Thank you much but the cpuid set I need looks something like this for example: "00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff" Think those you listed only have the cpu id in the second set above. Thanks Edited May 16, 2022 by davidm71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidm71 Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 So I'm guessing the cpu is a I5-7267U but I have no idea still how to pull its full cpuidset number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Windows then you can use AIDA64 even in demo mode. If macOS then choose DarwinDumper. It contains such information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm71 Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 Thanks Slice for sharing that information. Suppose if they the i7-7700HQ and the i5-7267u both have same cpuid this may work. About those cpuidset you provided.. I think the second line is what I need? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both models 0x8e and 0x9e are supported although they are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidm71 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Want the VM to match the serial number of the broken laptop so it will function and act like the broken dead laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need same SMBIOS, same UUID, same serial, same ROM and MLB. But you need no copy CPUID. Propose you repair the laptop and upgrade CPU. So your VM or hackintosh will be a full copy of a broken laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laptop repair cost is half new laptop so no not going to happen but I thought you needed a real authentic serial code to have imessage and other features working like a real mac? As far as the UUID maybe that could be taken off of dead motherboard? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after repair, even after motherboard replacements you will have authentic numbers. They will be new but authentic. How else macbook repair is possible? For hackintosh there are many speculation about but for my mind you should have AppleID account with actual payment method and some serial near to native. That's all.
