Hello.
I have a 13" MacBook Pro Retina Early 2015 with upgraded SSD (Samsung EVO 1Tb) running Mojave 10.14.6 (18G4032)
And I recently found that EFI version version is 184.0.0.0.0 while 190.0.0.0.0 is expected
eficheck gives error
I read that 3rd party SSD might prevent updates from installing
Is there any workaround for that to update to the latest EFI on MacBook without disassembly and swapping disks?

Do you have an aftermarket SSD installed in your computer? If you do, this will prevent firmware updates from installing, which can lead to the error above.
