In my case, the device did not boot from USB automatically, so I hit esc immediately after turning on, to enter the "startup menu". Turn off the target system, in my case an HP X2 210 G2, insert the recovery USB drive, and start it up again. Follow the steps to create the USB recovery drive.

Don't worry, it will not try to install the update, but it will open a utility that creates a bios recovery drive, as explained on the HP site.

Run the executable on the Windows system. In my case the file was called sp95703.exe (HP Notebook System BIOS Update, version F.35 Rev.A). Use a separate Windows system to download the correct bios-update executable for your system from the HP support site. The solution is based on this HP support answer, the HP docs for creating a bios recovery drive, and a bit of trial-and-error with fingers crossed. Note that this does require another windows pc to open the bios-update executable, but there is no need to install windows on the target pc, nor do you need a windows recovery disk or windows-pe or any such thing.

Here's what I did to update the bios on my HP x2 210 G2 running only Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Reboot the computer and go into the BIOS (usually by pressing the Esc key soon after the computer is starting up).(For me the BIOS file was called sp90164.exe)Įxtract the BIOS binary file which sudo apt-get install -y which mkdir cd 7z e sudo mkdir -p ls /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New | wc sudo cp *.bin ls /boot/efi/EFI/HP/BIOS/New | wc the BIOS Than what is already installed on the computer. Check that the latest available BIOS version is newer.As operating system version select Window 10 (64-bit).
