MAHDIANO Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hi, Thanks to Jake Lo post for OpenCore for HP EliteBook 840 G3, I managed to get macOS Big Sur 11.1 plus working Continuity / AirDrop over AirportItlwm and IntelBluetooth kexts for Intel WiFi chips. The question is did anyone manage to run iMessage for this model specifically? Since I doubt something wrong with SN or something I miss, here are listing steps below followed by useless 3 clean installations with different SN, UUID, MLB and fixed ROM (my eth0 MAC address) This is what I exactly did in order to let iMessage work with no luck: 1. Used Hackintool to verify everything is proper 2. Ensured Ethernet is set as en0 BSD 3. Ensured using Ethernet MAC as ROM 4. Signed out Apple ID and rebooted 5. Reset NVARM upon boot and rebooted 6. Reset Keychain 7. Removed related iMessage / FaceTime caches in Library/Caches 8. Removed related iMessage / FaceTime preferences in Library/Preferences 9. Changed SN / UUID using GenSMBIOS 10. Added new SN / UUID using ProperTree, saved and rebooted 11. Reset NVRAM upon boot and rebooted 12. Attempted to use iMessage / FaceTime , same output, after 5 seconds of login, it signs out 13. Retried steps again with new SN / UUID, still same Wondering what do I miss here! @Jake Lo appreciate if you can help maybe something is missing, I used typical OC package and config.plist you provided changing SN, UUID, Board SN, and ROM as real ethernet mac. And just added the necessary intel wifi+bt kexts I mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 sometimes you have to call apple support to remove you from the spammer blacklist. if you connect with too many different machines as you are by changing values constantly you automatically get black listed by apples servers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
