Ok man. Gonna give this another shot before I restore again from my 10.7.2 backup and try to just update to 10.7.3, since all I really want is Messages. Will post results.

Thanks again guys, this thread has been really helpful.

Okay I got it. I messed up my 10.7.4 install, so instead of restoring from my CarbonCopyCloner backup (yes, it is great:D) I decided to start fresh from iAtkos L2. The kext that you need to back up and replace is IOStorageFamily.kext. But anyways, I was able to successfully update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 so it's not impossible, just be sure to back up and replace that kext.

Here's the kext btw: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/79094064/IOS...amily.kext.zip

I'm in! Had to install that IOStorageFamily.kext and then I had to boot up with safe mode (it said the drive was repaired during fsck in verbose boot) and now it's booting fine! Have to roll back my graphics driver to the custom kext for Radeon HD 5750 and that's it.

THANKS A TON BRO.

***EDIT*** I also have to boot with npci=0x2000 now didn't have to before

is there any updated kernel that was released lately that has a broader support?
if there are any is there any supprt for amd phenom mobile cpus.

After all this, are they seriously gonna tell me now that I can't register for Messages with my @me account??? :mad:

Hey bro are you using iMessage on 10.7.4?

Yeah, I get the same error as you :/ Facetime, Messages, iCloud, they're all dependent on whether you have a vanilla kernel or not, unfortunately... hopefully someone can find a workaround sometime soon.

Damn. Now I'm bummed lol

I was using Facetime and MobileMe and whatnot on SL using a legacy_kernel, so hopefully someone figures this out too :( :(

Oh well. For the time being, I'm content with what we've been given LOL

Thanks again to the bronzovka for the kernel ( although he hasn't said much since he said he was gonna stop working on the kernel :( ) and jeaton2012 thank you buddy for everything. Your troubleshooting has helped me out big time.

I've explained why it doesn't work, I don't see what you don't understand. You'll need someone who is good at configuring the kernel to authentic a correct UUID, and then maybe it'll work. Revogirl stated that the source they release isn't 100% the same source they compile and run at cupertino, so let's say it's a conspiracy.

Now there's a very risky method but if you install iMessage on intel hack or real mac and CCC the imessage.app and restore on the amd hack, then that might be a workaround but I've not tested or tried this.
