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.

    Do a search for Windows to Go. I haven't tried it, but others have mentioned being able to run Windows from a USB on their bricked Surface Go. At least until you're in a position to get it replaced. So sorry this happened to you.

    Windows will run, it's slow but functional. Ubuntu works too and is faster on a Flash drive.

    It seems, that Microsoft is also replacing my bricked GO.

    The fun part is that I run 4 of these in the company. Only one is bricked so far, the other 3 are actually running on UEFI 1.0.34 and are working so far. Will these stay working or am I sitting on 3 ticking time bombs?

    I just got my replacement today, thank you Microsoft.

    As for the 64GB SK Hynix hC8aP eMMC it may very well be just a bad batch of chips that doesn't affect all of them.

    Below is my replacement Surface Go about to get 1.0.32.0 huh? Did they roll back 1.0.34.0?

    Update: 1.0.34.0 did eventually get installed. All is well on this Surface Go for now. Just doing a clean update to see what happens.

    All the actions that Microsoft offers for recovery have been completed! The result is one no bootable device.

    On the tablet, all passwords, grant projects, site maintenance, access to NFT.....

    In general .... a complete collapse of the activities and claims of organizations that we cannot fulfill our projects!

    They write that I would send the tablet to the Microsoft service center, but Ukraine as a country is not in service !!!!

    Are there legal organizations that can help us file a lawsuit against microsoft?
