"To install macOS High Sierra, a firmware update is required."

I have a mid-2010 MacPro. I'm trying to install High Sierra, but I keep getting this message: "To install macOS High Sierra, a firmware update is required." I can't find any firmware updates. I've tried holding the start button down several times, but I still get the message.User uploaded file

Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), MacPro 5,1, with 2.8GHz quad-core

I have the same issue. Tried it like 5 times. I don't see any gray screen with apple logo though the screen is blank for like 5 minutes after the power light starts to flash and long tone afterwards. After that the I get the login screen and same message.
