Getting iMessage to Work

[doritobob269]

I saw: this but just to be clear, do I have to use values found on a physical mac or is there a way to get iMessage and other applications to work without values found from a "genuine Mac"?

this is from the Documentation. The following commented commands, when executed on a genuine Mac, may provide the values for NVRAM and EFI parameters required by iCloud, iMessage, and other connected Apple applications. Parameters taken from a genuine Mac may result in a "Call customer support" message if they do not match the genuine Mac exactly. Non-genuine yet genuine-like parameters usually work.

@gprsnlty Thank you for your quick reply

I did see this. I don't know what genuine-like parameters would look like. For instance, I don't know how many characters are in Hardware UUID nor do I know what an example set looks like.

Do you or does anyone have genuine-like parameters I could use that are not directly from a genuine Mac. Could anyone provide values that are similar enough to a genuine Mac's values that would allow me to use such Apple ID services like iMessage and iCloud?

No support is offered for getting non-genuine values. There are plenty of sites on the internet that explain how to generate Mac PlatformInfo but this is not one of them.
