Recently receiving "No Bootable Device" error on Surface go running UEFI 1.0.34.

I've tried all the recovery disk options without success.

Have also noticed a few reddit threads with similar issues with this version in the last week or so

Anyone else seen this and managed to recover their device?

I have lodged multiple support tickets, confirmed there is no way for a user to roll back this firmware update.

I have also lodged a complaint here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoftfeedback 

Edit: 11/7 - After 5-6 weeks I've finally been able to send it back and it's been a fee-free replacement. It has been a lot of back and forth and mentioning this thread with so many other instances of it.

Still waiting for someone to lodge this as a firmware issue.....and remove that version of the firmware from Microsoft site.

    Thanks to this community reporting the same issue I had during an update of my device during a business travel. Now, I will be using it for work and not able to use it.

    No bootable device and unable to access important files I need.

    Need assistance urgently in this regards!

    Hello

    My Surface 1 was still on warranty so I have just got a replacement. The new one is in 1.0.34 as, so far, is working perfectly.

    I hope MS deliver a solution for this issue.

    Wow. Are you still under warranty?

    Just found another site, this one for Surface Go 2? (look at the URL it say Go 2)

    Beware! May's Surface Go Firmware update might brick your device - OnMSFT.com

    Huh, looks like the Microsoft firmware folk forgot about eMMC boot devices in Surface Go's

    created the Surface Go 2 recovery image

    This firmware problem is only on the Surface Go series 1, so far.

    Surface go 2 is a slightly different device and it's on firmware 1.0.2.0

    Are you sure it's a Surface Go 2 64GB eMMC version, do you get the "no bootable device" screen?
