Read own solution and heed the warnings about the need to unregister the Mac and unauthorise from any services which have been used with the incorrect or blank serial number.įor those who experience this problem, I partly solved the issue (which created a new issue) by doing the following:.If you do it yourself, be prepared that you might get it wrong and brick your MBP.

It is important to find the version which is compatible with your MBP - I can't help you there. The Blank Board Serializer is an Apple tool and can be used to fix your Serial Number.

The best solution is to take the MBP to an Apple Store where they may well fix your problem for free - just say it happened during a macOS upgrade (which is true in your case). As an aside, loading a valid serial number is a tricky and important step in getting a Hackintosh to run iMessage. iMessage and various DRM are tied to your serial number and UUID as well as Apple ID. You have already discovered that some Apple services require a valid serial number. Of the steps you mention using dd is the only unusual step - I would have used Disk Utility in Internet Recovery. The most common causes are some hardware change, but you say this does not apply in your case. We don't know all the steps you have taken (and you may not remember all of them very clearly) in your reinstall. Thanks for any help! Check screenshots below! I found a website with some software called BlankBoard Serialzer at Ĭould anyone tell me if this sofware is safe to use and if I should use it to re-burn my serial number into my mac? Then, can someone please tell me how I can get my serial number burned back into the mlb so that i can use imessage on my mac again? other than that, im out of ideas.Ĭan someone explain how i lost my serial number, and explain the weird quirks (missing drm, unauthorized deregistering my mac from icloud) that are happening as a consequnce? The other possibility, is that apples hardware and logic boards are flawed, and they can erase their oen serial numbers. Assuming that apples technology is impenetrable, then you would have to assume that someone stole apples special software and one of their keys, and used it on my logic board remotely to deserialize my mlb. Supposedly, once a certified apple technician burns a serial number into your logic board, it is impossible to remove unless you have specialized software that contacts apples servers with a registered signature and encryption key, and waits for apples servers to send authorization to write or remove the serial number from the logic board. After removing time machine drive, i opened the apps, and low and behold, all of them worked perfectly without asking me to sign into icloud, or log into the app store. Then, instead of importing my files with migration utility, i simply dragged and dropped my digitally purchased app store apps from my time-machine backup, onto my clean install.

I concluded this, because after the clean install from internet recovery, I DID NOT SIGN INTO ICLOUD. One more strange quirk is that apparantly, this somehow also deactivated all of apples DRM (digital rights management) for any of the apps that i had purchased. I never signed myself out before erasing.
