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.

    there is a link to get a folder with all the file to restore the firmware and get the surface back to start up... You only need to read trough it carefully and just scroll it
    Should have MS acted quickly and not 6 months after the firmware release? yes

    Should they have officially announced that it is a known issue? probably yes

    is it normal that the only way to know that they will replace it with a refurbished one is this post? definitely not

    this post is now escalating with no reason, if we keep it that way it will be closed soon....

    Really thick :(

    I am just wondering why people are happy with a refurbished unit. Are they just some MS employee posting trying to spin it a bit!!!! I mean when you use your device at all. You will definitely not want a just a refurbished second hand **** to replace a device that I had customize to the way I want it to perform. The only option that could actually make me feel a little **** about the situation is a new next generation device. So I am doing something new, instead of trying to fix someone else's problem that cause me a great deal of pain!!!!!

    Someone should really start looking to file some sort of legal action, so that they cannot afford to make any more of this kind of mistake again. If they could still make them. Hint, maybe this is the sight of the beginning of the end of MS!!!

    A really pissed customer.

    I have just clicked the link to the newly published help guide for the unfortunate no bootable device brigade and from what I can tell it suggest what I tried to do prior to complaining and successfully getting a replacement tablet. There is no mention of a link or guide to this next step it just seems designed to keep you in a loop under the guise of being o so helpful, which is probably only there for them to cover msoft in some consumer legal way. My advice is try and get onto chat and get a replacement.

    I am still waiting for warranty info for the replacement? Maybe they do not have any as they are refurbished????
