Congrats!

First topic I read from long time with valuable and correct information on this subject, well done!

 

About ROM/MAC Address a small hint: http://hwaddress.com/?q=Apple

Next step I see on Apple security from how things goes would be ROM validity check.

For the brave ones, earlier on this forum I provided a tool to play with eeprom on Intel LAN's and instructions for how to.

On Apple everything is tight to model/family starting with ROM and ending with subsbystem id...

have a look here :

Actually you can't. And I hope you don't use the exact values you have shared with us here! Never share the values you are using!!!

 

Anyway, the only really working solution for now is to use genuine MLB/ROM, even if I don't recommend to do so. Or at least don't use values found on the internet!

This will last until there is not a pattern found for MLB! And this is what this thread is all about!

no do not worry these are values that I created and I do not use
it's been over 8 years since I made the hackintosh
Apple has never done anything to stop the hackintosh
 

 

except those who wanted to sell it to make hackintosh trade as Psystar, probably 8 years we see from my apple ID used a hackintosh

Here is a generated ROM and MLB if you guys wanna try it and see that this is only thing you need to get iMessage and Facetime working. You can use any SN you want.

 

ROM:7c6df83d7f38

MLB:C02436602U5FW29A8

That's the one I've been using since you posted the imac15,1 dump

guess it won't work for long :)

that everyone can make a unique
 

 

if everyone uses the same, I think the good luck to alert apple

Looking forward for your Script but anyway I can confirm it works with Clover and Ozmosis ;)

Nice Job, thank you ^^

Ozmosis  well it works? or it is still not successful?
is that it can be injected as a ROM AND MLB with clover?
 

 

I tried once, but the computer is to remain frozen before I could back in the bios

I've looked at BlankBoardSerializer but can’t figure out how to use it. :wink_anim:

Worked without a hitch! Just signed in no problem! I'm worried that if everyone uses these numbers that it will stop working at some point.

 

Board Serial Number and SmUUID are blank in Clover Configurator. I just have a generated serial number. System Information shows a Hardware UUID and Serial Number (processor tray)  that I have no idea where it comes from.

I am in the process of making a script based off the app that Apple uses to burn BoardSerialNumbers (Blank Board Serializer) that can be used in OS X.

 

Looking forward to this.

 

Does 'Blank Board Serializer' set Serial number, MLB & ROM on real Macs?

The method of using real MLB/ROM is around for several months, and there is iMessage Debug to get (not generate) those values. What is the difference with ur script?

His script will generate valid MLB/ROM, not use some from a real mac. So you don't need a real mac.

I saw the link earlier, but the DV Warehouse did not have the EEE code for the logic board that most closely matched my system, which would be a iMac 12,2.  I'm running a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 motherboard with a Intel Core i7 2600k 3.4GHZ (Sandy Bridge) processor.  The iMac 12,2 is also Sandy Bridge i7 2600k 3.4GHZ, so I'm using that to get the closest processor compatibility.  In any case, I took the part number for the logic board (661-7160, in my case), went to google and searched for "Apple logic board 661-7160 EEE Code", which brought me to another source, which does have the EEE codes.  I will work on that tonight and see what happens.
