iMessage and FaceTime

[kapi3511]

Hi! It's my first try with hackintosh. Everything is working well, except iMessage and FaceTime. I can't log in. Other Apple services like AppStore, iCloud work. I am using AirportItlwm, is it why it don't work? Is it any fix for that?

1. Change your serial number with genSMBIOS

2. Did you enable AirportItlwm in the config?

[kapi3511]

1. I typed 1, then 2,3,4,5 and restarted. It logged me off from iCloud but iMessage and FaceTime still dont work.
2. Yes. WiFi is working, just facetime dont.

I am using 11.6.1

I also have one small problem with touchpad. Sometimes gestures are not smooth, as in this video https://imgur.com/a/UMDUY9i

1. Do it manually: Here is a short video: https://github.com/SkyrilHD/HP-8570W-Hackintosh#generating-your-own-serial-and-editing-rom

The SMBIOS you need to enter is MacBookPro12,1.

Which EFI version are you using?

[kapi3511]

What is Apple ROM? Is it ROM in .plist, under Processor type? I am using v1.10 version of efi i.

[SkyrilHD]

If I am not mistaken, but Apple ROM is a mac address from a Mac. It is also in PlatformInfo > Generic > ROM.

v2.0 has an improved trackpad but the EFI is primarily made for Monterey e.g. WiFi will not work

[kapi3511]

What Mac adress do i have to use? That from WiFi card or from Ethernet?

Can I update to Monterey from settings and copy new efi folder to efi partition?

[SkyrilHD]

Ethernet. Here is a guide on how to fix iServices: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/iservices.html

Yeah, you can update to Monterey and copy v2.0.

I tried changing smbios manually like in video, change mac how it was on opencore site, and to my ethernet mac adress. nothing worked ;/

[SkyrilHD]

Very weird. I have it working and the EFI is same

[kapi3511]

i used your fresh config.plist and only enebled intelbluetooth and airport. still dont work. i will update to monterey and use 2.0 to see if that works.

[kapi3511]

Sadly, after Monterey update FaceTime still dont work for me. Touchpad is working very good, way better than in windows. ̶G̶o̶o̶d̶ Excellent job!

[SkyrilHD]

RIP. Can you try creating another account and try FaceTime with that?

Thank you very much for the feedback. But there is still room for improvements.

[kapi3511]

Still not working with new apple id :(

Clear NVRAM from OpenCore

[kapi3511]

It didn't change anything. It just ask me for 2 factor code and it back to login screen.

[SkyrilHD]

Hmm, sorry I am out of ideas. If I find anything useful, I will post here

[kapi3511]

Now iMessage give me An unknown error occurred. FaceTime stopped asking me for 2 factor code. I deleted all keys in keychain, cleaned out https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/iservices.html#clean-out-old-attempts and reset nvram in OpenCore .

Googled this issue and saw this: link

[kapi3511]

I created another brand new account and now it's the same as before. I'm out of ideas about what I can do. Edit: Error disappered on my main account, that with this unknown error.

[SkyrilHD]

error disappeared means it's fixed?

[kapi3511]

No. The error disappeared and I still can't login. I reinstalled macOS because of hash mismatch error, still the same problem with FaceTime and iMessage. Before reinstall I changed serial in config.plist with that from smbios and set ROM value to my en0 Ethernet.

[SkyrilHD]

Did you reinstall with a full installer or online recovery?

[kapi3511]

Full offline installer, created on MacOS
