Hello, new here!
i have an older iMac (mid 2011) and downloaded the Catalina Patcher. Now I’m getting the firmware needs update message.
my computer won’t get out from that initial set up of the patcher, how do I just not install and go back to normal? It won’t even show my old drive as an option when I turn on the computer. And if I remove the USB I get the folder with the question mark at the start up. I’m not a computer savvy person, so an easy fix would be super helpful. I don’t care to go back to the old version at this point.

I did that without the usb And it gave the the question mark folder. Then when the usb is inserted and I do the pram reset it won’t even show the folder it just goes straight to the patcher set up.
