So I've tried to do the DosDude Catalina patch on my MacBook Pro from October 2011. I've followed the tutorial as I went along and have confirmed my MacBook is compatible.
The first issue: During the process, it advised that I needed to complete a firmware update. And after downing the firmware update from the provided link, I completed the installation... so I thought.
While the firmware update went through the motions, the firmware isn't updating.
The second issue: I tried the option to ignore the firmware issue and continue the installation. But when I go into the boot manager to select the hard disk with the install files, it doesn't appear in the boot manager.
Do you think the USB drive containing the install files is unrecognized in boot manager BECAUSE of the failed firmware update? Or, am I dealing with two separate issues?
Thank you.
