BIOS Verification failed error
XPS 13 9310
Tried to update BIOS from version 3.4.0 which then gave a 'Verification failed' message.
So now cannot use a USB flash to install a newer version of UBUNTU Linux system.
How do I clear this error?

This support page may help. Also did you try going all the way to the newest version? I ask because that is a pretty big jump and I would suggest updating to a version only 2 or 3 versions newer at a time.

Thanks for the link. Cannot continue the update because the verification process is not complete? How do I find the verification version? Running Linux Ubuntu

Have downloaded the driver .exe file to update the bios but I think the flash usb will not be accepted until the verification process is complete? How do I do that?

Which BIOS .exe file did you download?
You might try running a BIOS Recovery using the .rcv file for latest BIOS 3.19.1, if whichever .exe you downloaded won't run successfully via the F12 Flash Update option.
Read/follow the BIOS Recovery instructions carefully...

Thanks RoHe. Downloaded the file by going to dell support and putting in the laptop model which indicated the file was 'critical'..See link below.
Will investigate the BIOS Recovery Link.
