Hey Ayad,
I found a solution!
I wanted to try it before sharing. I followed the steps here:
Upon installing the firmware utility app. The app name is 'MarvellTray' and that gets installed in your Applications folder. Follow the steps on that knowledge base. After confirming the new firmware version, run the Mojave Installation again.
Let me know if this works for you, too!

How did you do that? when i download Marvelltray, and running it. i login as Admin. i didnt find any adapter 0 under Device. So i have to stop this step until figue out other way to do that. I am confuse about does i need install HighSierra in my apple SSD first, or upgrade to HighSierra. then replacement AURA PRO X SSD instead of apple SSD. then restart macbook press OPTION key to running apple ssd under envoy as HighSIerra system. install Marvelltray on it. to update AURA PRO X SSD firmware? Is it everything correct ? If not, please tell me your step. Cause i am really not understand OWC link about how to update firmware. i try many times, it all failed. thank you so much.
Hi，can you tell me how to update OWC Aura SSD firmware. I try use MarvellTray to update it. but i can't find any adapter under device. so i have no idea how to update this SSD. If you know that, please tell me. I appreciate you.
yes, i did. My computer can running 10.14 Mojave while i use Aura pro x SSD. The problem is after macbook fall sleep a couple hours, i try to wake it up. It always doesn't work. i have to restart. Then when i restart and press D to running Apple Hardward Test will be found VDH002. But when my system is 10.13 High Sierra, nothing find from Apple hardward test. So i am so confused it. Why my SSD always died when i use 10.14. or not 10.13. I though should be firmware problems.
i reinstall 10.13 on Apple SSD, then reinstall 10.13 on OWC SSD. install Marvelltray on other USB flash drive. is it need i running marvelltray on USB Flash drive to update OWC SSD firmware? i have couple question. the first is where can i install Marvelltray? Apple SSD or OWC SSD or USB flash drive.
I have an owc ssd on my 2015 macbook pro running 10.13.6, it frozen then ones it got restarted it go to the osx setup screen but i am not able to upgrade, restore, install or do anything now. Disk utility loads and the partition is apfs. Error is it cannot load/install/boot from a thirparty storage drive. I saw there is a firmware update for the ssd but its from the operating system, mine i cant load the OS, so how can i run the firmware update on this. Please help. Thanks
Sorry what i meant is my timemachine backup is 10.13.6. I dont know which version in my mac now, last it when it was working it was high sierra. And i havent updated it since, obviously an autoupdate might happen and that stuff up the boot
wow,, that was very helpful !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Andre, just followed the steps you give, it seems to be working! Installing in progress.. will let you know once it is completed and working.
Worked for me as well!

This worked for me! thanks so much for sharing this information!
The firmware page says the update is not for Mac Pro customers and it worked for you?
Worked for me too! Thanks mate.
running 10.13.6 High Sierra now. Reinstall 10.13. then through App Store update to 10.13.6 from 10.13.
I don't know what should I do . I don't know whats my SSD firmware version even.
