Number of blocks synchronized: 99%

Hello, I have successfully deployed a few smart contracts on the rinkeby testnet using truffle and geth, all good. Now I'm trying to deploy the smart contracts on the main net, but can't sync the blockchain, it always freezes on the last ~100 blocks. Is there any way to make it fully sync so I can deploy my contracts? It is necessary to have the hole blockchain updated to deploy smart contracts, isn't it?

I've tries almost all methods described here in many issues about sync fail.

Thanks.
