iMessage not working but other services do work #7

Closed frbuccoliero closed 4 years ago

frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

Hi guys, i'm currently writing from my Dell XPS 9570 running a smooth Catalina 10.15.4 with everything working fine.

I replaced my stock Killer wifi card with a DW1820a that i know isn't the best but does its job. Infact wifi speed is great, bluetooth works fine and i have all BT/WiFI Apple's magic stuff working: Handoff, Continuity and Airdrop. App Store works fine too and iCloud sync is smooth.

It would have been a dream if only... iMessage doesn't work. The error is the classic one.

It's in italian but you know, the classic one...

Here's the situation:

  1. I checked the network interface, and yes, it's set to en0 and built in

  1. I generated serial, smbios and board number and put them in config.plist , i copied the mac address and put in ROM removing the :

The serial is "invalid" in checkcoverage.apple.com because i spent half an hour trying to get a "Purchase Date not Validated:" without succcess so i surrendered using this one

Don't know if it's worth covering them but...

  1. Deleted all icloud and imessage things from Library/Cache and Library/Preferences , cleared NVRAM and deleted all references from Keychain, rebooted multiple times

Still stuck at the same error. I hope you guys can help me :D

I have the same issue, clered NVRAM, used the same PlatformInfo values as I used previously (using back then Clover)

frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

I don't understand

  1. if you did solve
  2. if you went back to clover
attilagyorffy commented 4 years ago
  1. none of the above. I had Clover where iMessage was working. Now, using this repository and OC, I replaced the values in config.plist with the values I had in the previous Clover config, hoping to be able to get the same functionality but it does not seem to work.
frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

I got it, looks like OC config is missing something from clover's...

frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

Maybe you can try reporting your issue here to OC creators and link this other discussion there so they can see it.

jaromeyer commented 4 years ago

I don't think its an issue in OC itself, but rather a misconfigured setup.

attilagyorffy commented 4 years ago

I managed to get iMessage up and running, however it seems to "forget" the account I've added after a while. (Not sure if that's happening after a reboot or whether it's related to an NVRAM reset though)

frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

What changes did you make in order to make it work?

attilagyorffy commented 4 years ago

It seems that it's not working actually after a reboot.

frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

But just for interest, what did you do?

attilagyorffy commented 4 years ago

I rebooted my machine, it seems to have logged out by itself.

frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

 No i mean, what did you do to make it work in the first time?

attilagyorffy commented 4 years ago

I regenerated the documented 3 values via Hackintool and replaced my original entries in config.plist, removed the iMessage related files from caches, rebooted, reset NVRAM.

frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

I understand.. so nothing changed at all btw, it kicked you out...

attilagyorffy commented 4 years ago

It seems so

frbuccoliero commented 4 years ago

I solved following this: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide/post-install/iservices.html

I was missing the part in which it says to delete the Keychain values. It was absent in all the other guides. I also changed serial, MLB and UUID to make sure it makes no problem. All working dudes!

attilagyorffy commented 4 years ago

Thanks @frbuccoliero I'll try it out.
