gensmbios's Issues

Generate Country / Date specific SN

I am trying to generate SN and all serials start with C17 for my specified model, those all resides within China

Country: C17 - China
Year: S - 2016
Week: 1 - 27 (01.07.2016-07.07.2016)
Line: 0Z5 - 1127 (copy 1)

I am trying to make iMessage work and I doubt the code I always generate may not helping to make it work

Issue generating MacPro7,1 serials - incorrect length

I have attempted to generate dozens of MacPro7,1 serials, and noticed NONE are the correct length (if I go back into GENSMBIOS it tells me this when looking at my current SMBIOS data).

Plugging serials into the Apple check coverage page yields that it cannot check the serial (as it's invalid for that model and not the right length).

I also noticed that sometimes it generates the same serial over and over.

Is there any special inputs for MacPro7,1 (such as year/country) to generate the serials correctly?

Is there a bug, or am I doing it incorrectly?

Drag and dropping config.plist not working!

Menu item 2 does not work in Python 3.7.6 / Windows 10 Pro build 1903. There should be at least an option to just paste the path to the config.plist.

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_default_verify_paths'

Running on MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave) with python 2.7.5
Traceback (most recent call last):

This happens with many of your utilities that I tried.

iMac20,2 not generated by macserial

Macserials archieved, no longer updated.

Hello. It looks the the hardware database has moved here: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/tree/master/AppleModels

Can't find new SMBIOS

need new SMBIOS like iMac20,1

Newest models are missing!

The new iMac20,1 and iMac20,2 code is missing. Please update.

Unable to Install/Update MacSerial

Hey corpnewt, thanks very much for the work you do on this tooling.

I'm working with OpenCore on a common, inexpensive prebuilt from HP, a z230 workstation. Following https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/intel-config.plist/haswell#platforminfo - but I'm not clear that I've done this right. I've booted a Lubuntu 18.10 liveUSB and am running GenSMBIOS on the z230. This machine has internet connectivity (I just git cloned genSMBIOS to it) and I'm running an interactive sudo session in the live session, so I'm operating as root.

I just ran GenSMBIOS, selected option 1, and got this output:

  #######################################################

Done.

SMBIOS Generation.

I think their is some bug in GenSMBIOS, previously when we generate SMBIOS there was a chances to get a genuine serial number with "Purchase Date not validate". But, now this is not working out at all. All serial numbers generated by GenSMBIOS is not workable. Any solution will be appreciated.

Error - macserial returned an error!

Hi while trying to use option 3: throws an error. More details in the images.

OS: Ubuntu

unable to access 'https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS/': SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain (on Mac OS 10.9.5)

Hi,

I'd have prefered to solve the problem by myself+web searches, but I guess I'm not a nerd enough.
On Mac OS 10.9.4 (Mavericks), when

git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS

we got

Cloning into 'GenSMBIOS'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS/': SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain

So I checked a few solutions (mainly about other github programs than this specific one) :

• manually 'Set to Default' SSL trust settings in Keychain Access for GitHub certificate (also tried "Always Trust", but still keeping the message "This certificate was signed by an unknown authority") ;
• by terminal: trying to delete some specific certificates that could interfere (Terminal refused to delete) ;
• installing via Github Desktop
• ...disable antivir

Similar problems have been raised, but in Windows.

Thanks a lot, in advance, for your answer!

What could I do?

No valid serial for iMac14,1

I've been trying around 100+ serial already an there is still no valid serial. any idea why?

_get_binary using list() without proper initialization

Hey folks,

I noticed "macserial" can never be found (at least on most recent python 2, and python3) installs because of the use of of () instead of [] to build a list of one element ["macserial"]

If on line 68 you update it to binary_name = ["macserial.exe","macserial32.exe"] if os.name == "nt" else ["macserial"] you'll be able to make this work.

Also, to note, I did not "test" the windows path, only the mac path (as I only have macs)

How about to modify this code to a python module for external call

Hi, I'm writing some python code for hackintosh files auto generation, and I try to call this program to gen smbios by pyautogui, but it seems a little hard to auto complete the generate flow, so, could you make it to a python package?

How this generates the serial numbers ??

I tried one serial number {not from genbios} and it works {has invalid purachage date} ?So is there any formula to get other data

Type = SystemProductName
Board Serial = MLB
SmUUID = SystemUUID

from it ?
Also can i use serial number of Mac pro when product name is imac ?

Not Working

idk if i am just stupid or what but, when i try to select a number for example 1, nothing happens. i have waited for it for about half of an hour. but still nothing happened

Bug Line 114

try:
system = "linux" if sys.platform.lower().startsiwth("linux") else sys.platform

Replace with:

try:
system = "linux" if sys.platform.lower().startswith("linux") else sys.platform

Can't install MacSerial on windows

Outputs:
We ran into some problems :(

'str' object has no attribute 'startsiwth'
