Tried to install and even PRAM'd the system. This is my 5th try now and I keep getting this error prior to a deep system beep about 10min into the Install process.
The following message comes up (attached):
"An Error Occurred While Verifying Firmware."
Specs:
- Late 2009 27" iMac
- 16GB Ram
- 250GB SSD installed 6 months ago
Anyone else having the same issue and anyone resolve it yet?

Hi John,
Looking further, seems like the manufacturer doesn't have any Firmware updates (Thanks for the tip).
Here's a system report of the SSD:
Seems odd that the SSD would be the issue (it being plain-ol' storage..), but who knows...
ps/ 240GB, not 250GB. My mistake..
Seems odd that the SSD would be the issue...
I'm not at all certain it is, but I am not familiar with that model. It was just a thought.
The system information appears to be OK. Here is an excerpt from a stock iMac. I'm afraid you won't find it very useful though.
- 250GB SSD installed 6 months ago
What model?
The reason for asking is that I didn't experience any trouble upgrading Macs with aftermarket SSDs, but they are all OWC's Mercury Pro Extreme models, so at least I know they work. Others may require a firmware update from their respective manufacturers, so investigate that possibility.
Anecdotal reports suggest booting Recovery mode and using Disk Utility's First Aid feature. I cannot confirm that.
Yea, somethings changed.
You also can normally download the image and now, you have to do a full install from what I'm hearing, before you can have the copy.
Some of them aren't:
Hi,
I had the same problem (at least: symptom) on a MacBookPro8,1. With a "custom" SSD; but then my mini had updated without issues…
What I had found as suggestions, but did not help:
What I tried and worked (1 out of 1 time):
I started the installer from an "admin" enabled account. -> Worked.
Beforehand it had failed 3 times from a "non-admin" account. The final run started a helper before the actual installation (which took several reboots and a firmware upgrade, if I understand the progress bar looks correctly).
Other proposals I had found:
Hope this helps.

I have no help for you, but the same thing has happened three times on my 2012 macbook pro, with the following specs:
2.5ghz i5
16gb RAM
500GB HDD
I'm wondering if it's an issue with the installer trying to convert my HDD to APFS and failing?
All of my Apple hardware tests come back normal.
Mac OS High Sierra wont update firmware - ah, in my MacPro 5.1(mid 2010). Tell me there are the biggest problems! My video card is AMD Radeon HD 7950 Mac Edition(display port connect Apple Cinema Display), and have a some small problem. The video card has a small bug. Mac OS Sierra 10.12 boots Apple logo normal, up to half the line, then screen goes black, and then the Apple logo is show again, and progress is continue fine. If i updating firmware have i the biggest problem when updating Mac Pro 5.1(mid 2010) firmware ? If there is an error, will my Mac Pro 5.1(2010) and die Mac Pro firmware!!! Can i return to old firmware ? Thanks so much for help.Sorry my English.
FWIW, I was getting the same error message through 5 iterations
of High Sierra betas and the GM when trying to install on one of my
Macs and NO ONE had any clue or cared that it happened.
Each time I sent multiple reports via the Feedback Assistant
with all the log files, but wonder whether that was just a
black hole.
There were no solutions suggested. There were no workarounds
suggested. There were no troubleshooting steps suggested.
Have not tried to install the released version on that machine yet,
but will attempt today and see what happens.
The released version did install on two of my Macs, so we will see.
Don't wanna bombard this thread, however, tried to install again with no success.
This time I was able to pull up the Install Log, copy/pasted below:
Note: Firmware fail is about 3/4 down.

Found this on macrumors.com with the same issue.
Seems like it’s workif for me now. I’m in the middle of the install, and and I’ve gotten past the point where it would throw firmware issues.
Folks, you can try this even without rescue mode in terminal: "diskutil verifydisk disk0". Should work with those Macs with just one SSD inside. If you've got a more complex machine, check the location of the EFI partition with "diskutil list" first. Could be disk1 as well.
It's going to check your disk, where the EFI partition lies. Takes a few seconds. Like noted, I had this issue, and it was a problem with that little partition that's needed for firmware update. Macbook 12" 2017.
If you get this, then the partition is OK:
user@mac : diskutil verifydisk disk0Started partition map verification on disk0Checking prerequisitesChecking the partition listChecking the partition map sizeChecking for an EFI system partitionChecking the EFI system partition's sizeChecking the EFI system partition's file systemChecking the EFI system partition's folder contentChecking all HFS data partition loader spacesChecking booter partitionsChecking Core Storage Physical Volume partitionsThe partition map appears to be OKFinished partition map verification on disk0
If yours is not OK "diskutil repairdisk disk0" in Rescue Mode terminal (boot with CMD-R) fixes it. This shouldn't be too dangerous of a fix, but of course do have a backup first.

Tried again with the terminal code you provided.
Everything came back okay for status.
Still no go for install though...

I'll just add my own thoughts here:
Tried absolutely everything other people suggested, except doing a clean install of High Sierra from a USB drive, because I don't have the time to copy 500GB of data from a mechanical HDD backup.
I did however tried to update the firmware of my SSD which worked great but didn't solve the issue. And I had to do this via Bootcamp because Samsung and Apple are not friends it seems. Still I find it hilarious that I had to use a Microsoft product to try and fix an Apple product.
Anyway, later I noticed something: the folder "MacOS Install Data" is in the root of my SSD. Could that be causing the issues with the HS install? I tried to remove it, but it's protected, did a sudo rm -rf on it and it did manage to delete everything except for 3 files. I will try and remove them via terminal on Recovery Mode, but since I have a Mac Pro 5,1 with non EFI GPU, this will have to wait for a day where I have nothing else to do but waste my time trying to find solutions to Apple incompetence.
So yeah, anyone got a working solution for this issue? At least anyone has any idea exactly what "firmware" is being verified? So far it's not the SSD firmware. The hardware firmware is also the latest version so that's not the culprit either. Maybe the Firmware Installed package supplied with the current build of HS is corrupt?
Apple should pay us all for doing their job at troubleshooting and fixing their mistakes!
Yes, that is correct, used App Store for the update process. Actually I updated from El Capitan to Sierra in the morning which went perfectly. Then decided to go one more step a few hours later and update to High Sierra. Not so perfect I'm afraid, 6 hours later and 30 different attempts made no difference 😟
