I wish I knew this. I've spent hours now re-installing Catalina to my Mac Pro 4,15,1 to get csrutil enabled. I thought the recovery partition was fucked up! EDIT: Honestly, dosdude1 could better document that csrutil needs 1) to be disabled to run the CatalinaPatcher and 2) to stay disabled to make the thing work. U/dosdude1 u/tejljr u/EuroBrain. Back when developing the Catalina patcher, u/dosdude1 released this note:' I have just released version 1.3.6 of Catalina Patcher, which should fix the issue where some third-party applications wouldn't launch. I also use the Catalina Patcher app, and noticed an update. Go to the Dosdude1 web site. The download page for the v.1.3.4 version tells you that there are real problems with 10.15.4 and the patches for unsupported Macs. Following the same writeup from the last patch I've brought my MacPro5,1 to build 19H1217. I did have one unexpected but pleasant surprise. With the last few patches, if I didn't reboot to my USB stick (or patched recovery partition) to re-apply the CatalinaPatcher fixes the system would just lock up.
Important Notes:- Using APFS is REQUIRED in Mojave in order to receive system updates via the normal Software Update method. If you choose to continue using macOS Extended (Journaled) as your filesystem type, you will NOT receive System Updates via System Preferences. If you are not using APFS, you can follow the 10.14.1 installation steps below.
- After applying ANY system update via Software Update, re-applying post-install patches using your Mojave Patcher installer volume will most likely be necessary. If you install a software update and the system fails to boot afterwards, this is what needs to be done.
10.14.6
10.14.6 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.2 or later after installing.
10.14.5

10.14.5 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.1 or later after installing.
10.14.4
10.14.4 adds new changes that ARE NOT patchable by the post-install tool of Mojave Patcher v1.2.3 and older! Before updating to 10.14.4, you you will need to use the latest Mojave Patcher version to create a new installer volume, using the 10.14.4 installer app. Then, update to 10.14.4, either by installing via Software Update, or by just using the installer volume you've created to install.
10.14.3
If you are currently running 10.14.1 or 10.14.2, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.3 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.
10.14.2
If you are currently running 10.14.1, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.2 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, or are using a non-AFPS volume, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.

10.14.1/macOS Extended (Journaled) volumesThe Mojave 10.14.1 update does NOT install properly on unsupported machines, and could result in an unbootable OS. If you want to install the 10.14.1 update (and are not currently running 10.14.1), perform the following steps:
• Download the latest version of Mojave Patcher
• Download the installer using the Tools menu of Mojave Patcher
• Create a patched USB installer
• Boot from that, and install 10.14.1 onto the volume containing an older release.
• Once done, apply the post-install patches, and you should now be on 10.14.1.
