Apologies in advance for requesting that the Wayback Machine archives all of your firmware.

Thank you very much for providing an archive of quest firmwares. This just helped an very outdated Quest 2 Headset from a friend :)

It's likely that your download failed. Try downloading it again and see if it works

I am curious if you know how to strip out or disable all the features of the OS as I just need the basic inside out tracking to work without all the bells and whistles.

Curious if you can get the meta smart glasses firmware to download in similar way?

Disassembled the APK to find some similar looking strings /mobile_release_updates and other things like

"target_version": "89156000000000000",
"base_version": "89156000000000010",
"build_number_display_name": "v99.99",
"release_notes_cms": "This v99.99 version is a mock release for testing purposes. This is just a placeholder for release notes and list of improvements in a real release.",
"install_options": "{\"headers\":\"someHeader\",\"size\":183896552,\"offset\":7123,\"payload\":\"update.zip\"}",
"file_size":
"release_channel_id": "311532489853859",
"release_notes": "n/a",
"file_checksum": "
"update_interval": 242

My god. What they did with the forced software update on startup is just a genocide of Decency. i am stuck here with downloading this shit for over a week now and have only a 4th of the whole pos update.

Cant cancel not showing how much is done. nothing.... Can i even as a not nocoder install this from here?

[techiesces]

You can disable the update service and it won’t do updates anymore.  We control our updates when we want them that way.Thanks,Michael ElliottOperations ManagerYourTechie.netphone: (563)284-2424On Jan 8, 2024, at 9:57 AM, AureliusTratos @.***> wrote: My god.

If I am on the latest version of Quest 1 firmware and it's giving me terrible performance (10+ minute boot up and every app now is just incredibly slow to launch), am I screwed since I can not downgrade firmware? Is there a way to bypass and still downgrade? The Quest 1 used to boot in 3 seconds and over time like once or twice a year I'd reset it and it would be fast again. After this last reset I'm now stuck. Thanks

I see you have v65 for the Quest 3 available, but isn't that the PTC version, since it isn't released yet? That leads me to the next question, are the FWs for Q3 all final releases or can they also be PTC versions?

[Renegadegg]

I have a oculus Quest 1 with no controllers. Is it possible to bypass the setup by using a sideload method? I'm trying to get pass the part where it asks for controllers so I can set it to hand tracking

Thanks for this awesome blog,

I am in trouble as meta sent an update to my device and it bricked it completely. Below is the video of what it looks like https://youtube.com/shorts/7KYYb2tbuGU?feature=shared

I was able to boot by just powering off for 24 hours, But i boot to a black screen, its still paired with my quest app, i am able to install, launch, cast apps. But i don't see anything apart from the black screen.

From the quest app i was able to see what's my headset version 50864850064000150

I tried sideloading 50875380052300150 for the quest 2 which is the latest available on your site.

But with that i am not able to boot, just the update and spinning log as seen in the above video that i provided link to.

Can you please guide me if i can try something else here?

One question is it important to keep package name as update.zip?

[Victoriodotio]

Not sure if that's the place, but tried out latest Quest Pro version of available updates, from what i saw in display it was showing the chip image for a second and then turn off into loop of meta logo, after 30 minutes headset doesn't turn off at all or even charges, no lights or signs of life, so wonder if it's resolves itself cuz some people said over period of time it was coming back to life on it's own

[shadowzhougit]

@basti564,

That's thanks for you providing so many Quest firmware versions offline install. Q2, Quest Pro already published V69, and I think there should also have V69 for Q3.

Could you please upload Q3 V69? Thank you!
