Hello everyone,
Today I tried updating my macbook pro (13 inch, mid 2012) to High Sierra. But the installation failed.
I get the following message.
"An error occurred while verifying firmware"
I tried downloading a fresh copy & retry the installation but still the same error message pops up.
My hard disk is Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD.
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), macOS Sierra (10.12.6), Mid 2012, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD
My hard disk is Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD.
That's the reason.
You can see for yourself: "An error occurred while verifying firmware". Apple does not develop firmware for devices they do not incorporate in the products they sell, and they do not consider internal a storage user-replaceable option. In other words you're on your own. Samsung "EVO" SSDs are notorious for that problem and others. It will fail soon enough anyway.
Either replace it with a SSD known to work with macOS, or a conventional hard disk drive. If you want to continue using the Samsung SSD, then restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup and do not upgrade.
I have the same laptop and the same ssd, and the same problem. I haven’t been able to use my laptop for two weeks now. I’ve been taking it in and out of apple trying to at least get a backup. At the moment I’m slowly copying over my files from the ‘User’ folder to an external drive, so I can completely reinstall the MacOS.
I don’t know if you got yours fixed? But I’m on the edge of getting an upgrade entirely. The problem might be to do with the new file system in High Sierra.
And some additional info in logs:

Then you have a different problem than the creator of this Discussion, so you need to create your own Discussion: Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question
I have the same problem. 😟
Ya i did several times.

I don't have an SSD, old school spinner. I'm having the issue with my Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13".

I wonder what would happen if I use disk Utility to enable journaling on the APFS volume and trying to reinstall High Sierra
