Eventually I solved the problem.
0. Connect charger first!
1. Download proprietary package from fwupd.org website
https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.dell.uefi3b49e316.firmware
2. install fwupd package
sudo pacman -Ss fwupd
3. install trivial updating
fwupdmgr install Inspiron_3585_1.10.0.cab
4. Restart to finish with exact installation!

Updating the BIOS from BIOS Boot Menu (independent of operating system)
Note 1: Before updating the BIOS, ensure that you suspend BitLocker encryption on a BitLocker-enabled system. If BitLocker is not enabled on your system, you can ignore this step.
Note 2: Do not turn off the power or interrupt the BIOS update process during the update.
Installation
1. Copy the downloaded file to a USB drive. The USB drive does not need to be bootable device.
2. Insert the USB drive into any USB port.
3. Power on the system.
4. At the DELL logo screen, press F12 to access the one-time boot menu.
5. Select BIOS Flash Update in the Other Options section.
6. Click the ... button to browse the USB drive to locate the downloaded file.
7. Select the file and click Ok.
8. Verify the existing system BIOS information and the BIOS update information.
9. Click Begin Flash Update.
10. Review the Warning message and click Yes to proceed with the update.
The system restarts and displays a progress bar at the Dell logo screen. The system restarts again when the update is complete.

That is exactly what these people are doing.
