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.

    All the files are there, it's just the computer won't boot to windows. I was able to access the files using a decent size USB recovery drive and then using command prompt copy all important files onto the USB to move to another PC. I found directions via google on how to do this.

    I just got the response to my case (# 1040778593) that my device is out of warranty and a replacement would cost 242,58€.

    If there is no other solution offered by Microsoft for a problem they caused themselves I'm definitly not willing to buy another one from them. If you make a mistake you should stand to it and do everything to get it out of the world. Let paying others for your mistake is not the way to go.

    Hi Christoph,

    See above comments. If it's their first response you have a chance.

    You have to push them. Say that this is their fault and that there are many cases where they replace the device for free. Also you can ask to escalate the issue.

    I was also offered a 250$ replacement first, but then they changed their mind and offered a free replacement as "a courtesy exemption". See what I wrote here: https://telegra.ph/Surface-Go-firmware-bug-bricks-the-device-06-24
