Weird problem with firmware update for Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD

[alexm91]

Hi everyone,
This is my first Hackintosh build so any help/suggestion is welcomed.
I decided to build myself a hackintosh running by using the hardware recommendation from:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/building-a-customac-hackintosh-the-ultimate-buyers-guide/

But unfortunately I missed a detail and I bought the wrong SSD - Samsung 970 EVO Plus. I thought the my problems are solved when a new firmware from Samsung was published and the problem with this SSD, for MacOS was fixed.
I immediately started to install it by making a bootable USB Stick with the iso image of the fimware.
The ways I tried to make the USB bootable:
- from a Mac: Etcher
- from a Windows: Rufus
- from a Ubuntu: UNetBootin

Every time I get the same result - see below picture

This is a picture of the screen at which it freezes:

Any idea what might be the cause for this?
Hardware:
CPU: i7-9700K
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 - integrated
Mobo: Asus Z390-A PRIME
SSD: Samsung 970 evo plus 500GB

Damn I just made the same mistake and ordered the 970 Plus as a secondary drive for my first build. Were you ever able to get it to work?
