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.

    Hi, same issue with my device.

    Tried everything. Recovery images (https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/surface-recovery-image), tried with online support without any solution. I tried also to contact someone via phone which ended up that the bot kicked me out of the line in a polite manner after reaching the correct support topic. And i tried several options of the menu and never got the chance to speak to an support agent (German support hotline). Never thought that MS Support would be so pour. And i wont accept that my Surface device is unusable after 3 years. Would appreciate anykind of fix as this now seems to be a general issue with Surface Go (Gen 1) devices.

    Regards Markus

    Currently we only have 4 of these for testing purposes, but only 2 are in use. One hasn't been updated and is fine, the other has and is currently unusable. Up to 161 now...

    I have the same issue ("no bootable device") on my wife's surface go with Uefi firmware 1.0.34.

    • Attempted Recovery, it does not work - just loops back to recovery menu.
    • checked the disk for errors in cmd, it passed.
    • In cmd I was able to access the drive and all partitions to see files are there, back up my files to external USB.
    • Completely wiped the disk clean, re formatted for fresh install .
    • Attempted fresh windows install which seems to install but once the usb is removed returns back to "No bootable device'

    All hardware is good, this must be a firmware issue.
