Hey /r/hackintosh Just yesterday I decided to join you all, I've spent pretty much every waking moment since then doing and reading what I can to make this all work on my system. I've been fiddling with both Clover and Multibeast/Unibeast, getting both to the point of everyday use, all besides iMessage. I love iMessage, so I've been reading the big guide on tonymacx86, as well as two seemingly reliable guides on this subreddit.
I've done two clean installs, one an hour ago performing all the steps needed as in this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/2wohwn/getting_imessage_working_on_10102_generating/
The way I've been installing is by first booting into UniBeast, installing Yosemite, loading MultiBeast, installing some drivers, installing Clover, modifying the Clover config file and then booting into Clover to activate iMessage.
I can manage to "sign in", but when I go to accounts it says iMessage is "inactive". When I go to sign in again it says there was an error in activation. My AppleID is verified, I have a Macbook Pro and iPhone too which both run iMessage. iCloud for me also spits out an error saying it couldn't identify my Mac.
My build looks like this, minus the HDD or the GPU:

I've assigned it Mac Pro 3,1 as it seems to work best but any suggestions is welcome.
Any help is so appreciated. Thanks.
