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.

    I am also having the same issues! I've followed the instructions and now it's just frozen on the windows screen. I've had no issues until today why is this happening!!!!! I'm so disappointed with Microsoft.

    This reminds me that some Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book crashed after receiving some firmware updates.

    We got the same problem. The surface was out of warranty, but in Sweden there is a law that the seller of a new product is accountable for fixing the product if it is a fault the user can't have created. The first year, the evidence burden lies on the seller that the fault is user created, and in the two following years that changes so the user needs to be able to show that they havent misused the product and that the fault has been there all along (ie would have happened anyhow).

    Short story - the exchanged ours without any protests .

    I really hope they do the same for the rest of you, this will tarnish the surface brand and its crazy that a company gets away with stuff like this. I've seen far worse from apple, and really didn't think MS would be this greedy....

    Hi masd

    It's great you started this.

    You can join a discord channel I created for people with this problem. https://discord.gg/4HF8UtPd also, here's a page with how my case went through https://telegra.ph/Surface-Go-firmware-bug-bricks-the-device-06-24 

    Also, no need to post the same message 4 times, you end up just spamming subscribers' email.
