Surface Go uefi version is 1.0.34 and No Bootable Device error

Anonymous

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.

    This is clearly a Microsoft issue! I jus turned my surface go and got the same message. Has there been any update?

    My ticket is still open and I get daily updates saying it's still open and being escalated.

    Why it's taking so long for this to circulate through MS support is bizarre.

    If I were Microsoft (and I'm not)

    I would

    1. Stop issuing 1.0.34.0 seriously it's borked
    2. Stop running folks through the MS support gauntlet (update the CSR scripts and acknowledge there's a problem)
    3. Fix the UEFI firmware and put it in the Windows updater
    4. allow for firmware updates from a FAT32 formatted USB flash or the SDXC card (like every other UEFI does)
    5. allow for SDXC booting (wants that, second OS support e.g. Linux)

    I have had my first phone call with MS, was told the same - it is a hardware problem and I can buy a new machine for about £200. I said I would not accept that as a resolution, pushed that it was a firmware issue, mentioned this forum etc but he just kept repeating it was a hard ware problem and I could buy a new one! So I said I wanted to escalate the support ticket, which he agreed to do. I will wait and see what happens next.

    I got an answer from the support team. They will send me a shipping label and replace my device.
