Factory Reset is basically resetting the headset back to its state when you first buy and launch it up, all of your data is lost, but since you have a oculus account, you will keep stuff on the account, like the songs and cosmetics.
TBH I really don’t care if (I ever factory reset my headset)I lose most of my progress in most of my games, all I care about is gorilla tag. I love that game so so much And Jesus
3:08 a factory reset just wipes everything and goes to the setup as if its new its mostly for like returning and stuff or giving it away and it literally said YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA
Dude i was wonderong if your games deleted with the game data too but this vid helped me out so much my headset keeps on restarting itself and has so many errors but i had so many things on it and didnt want to lose. Thank you
I had to factory reset cuz my stupid quest 2 kept saying storage systems keep stopping and then now I can’t connect to my quest every time I try to connect to the quest 2 on my phone it says connect but it still shows the white screen and the 5 digit number what do I do?
I just had to factory reset my headset yesterday as welll 😔😔 (Im gonna save up for the quest 3 so I can have my own headset) (I have to share my quest 2 with my brother)
1:22 QUEST USES ANDROID CONFIRMED!!!!!1!!1!1!1 context: if you dont know, that Is the android reset ring, that shows when factory resseting devices. it shows on SOME devices, especially that Oculus.
i think it is common sense that you’d lose bmbf by the fact it said it erases EVERYTHING. all your data on that headset was erased, nothing was kept. the reason why some things stayed was because it is linked to your account or it is saved in cloud, like how you kept your gt cosmetics.
factory reseting in fact is nothing horrible you jst have to log in to ur account and reinstall all ur games you have a everything sense the IP is authorized
This actually really might help me out because I forgot my weird like drawing pin thingy and I don’t need it for anything right now but until I find out what it is again if I need it I’m gonna have to factor reset and I was really worried about all this stuff. Them media isn’t a massive problem as I need the storage anyway but yea this will help me out a lot if I ever need to. Thanks
Yeah, I've had to factory reset mine 2-3 times... Meta are really bad at creating software that works well and is intuitive, I've had lots of issues with them. Hopefully they can sort out their software.
My gorila tag wasent instsalling or update and i tried everything so i factory reseted it and it stayed in the app So it takes me 3 weeks to fund and delete my device data Now it wont connect to the app it just says cant connect to device jts been like that for 3 weeks now and its not working Please can anyon tell me how to fix it my dad is going to shout at me and im scared if he does
I'm on quest 2 A couple of months, ago I had to factory reset my oculus because it wouldn't update gorila tag I deleted it reinstalled it and it would never work so I factory reseted gone through all the steps and I tried to connect my headset but then it says can not connect please try again I factory reseted so many times that even meta store support told me to stop. But they can not ever help me with their slow talks and just do emails instead of right their and then So can anyone please help me I'm begging
@@Monster2011-gdif it was a couple of months ago meta could of had fixed it, if you still can't update any app still then you might have to buy a whole new headset, just depending though how many years have you had your quest 2? Because you could of messed the system up however I wouldn't know the solution
That feeling when you have to factory reset stuff is very very scary. I had a factory reset my Meta Quest twice I was really scared the second time because it was showing how to use it and I thought I restarted all of my progress
Your headset had a boot loop. This is caused by a data corruption. Causes.. 1. Storage is full (Common) 2. Dalvik cache error 3. Fatal data partition corruptions. 4. Cache partition corruptions 5. Hardware issues. 6. Force shutdowns (sometimes)
This actually happened to me seven days ago and I’ve been putting off factory resetting it, but I’ve been planning to do it today. (so basically mine did exactly what yours did but then it actually loaded into the bubbles place thing instead of my home and I couldn’t access my account or games and the only thing I could change or look at was my settings and videos from like six months ago) Edit: it turned out to be a week ban I think and I was literally making sure it was cloud backuped (backuped isn’t a word) and then my horizon feed popped up and then I went into my lobby and all my apps and games were there just not installed.
It's called boot looping. This can often be caused by thirty party apps that have a lot to do with other processes on the android apps that run system wide. Most common examples of this include things like Kiosk apps witch restrict the device to one app and one app only, Parental control apps that set time limits on the device, block apps, and block specific settings from being changed and some other more advanced things that I VERY highly doubt that you would have been involved in. This has happened to me on a tablet that my business uses as a kiosk many times the biggest reason for it is normally because that software is not a great choice and is not a well developed software and causes it to boot loop because it is now cached enough information to run locally thus it can do that on boot. My team and I ended up creating a new app for our kiosk thing. As for you I would assume that it is parental control app or you installed a bad pirated game. I know Quest's are based on android and I have seen this on android phones tablets etc. so this is interesting to see on a quest!
I accidentally factory reset my vr but everything is back now? And yes, i did see it. So that was a weird sunday ngl 🤪 to this day, i call it Goofy ahh fake reset or FFR
Went to use my Quest 2 and now it thinks my device is part of an organization and will not accept any of my known emails to log in, I factory reset but the Quest 2 is still useless.
By any chance could you help me out? My brothers headset had this and we factory reset but every time i try to pair it it does not seem to work. I tried everything it told me but it still does not work.
Yall i tried to pair my headset but it ask me to able my location and i accepted but it am not able to press from which VR oculus i have it blocked i cant press ot anything it like ghosted or something so i cant pair, does that mean i got hacked maybe?
Nahh my meta account got banned so I got a whole new meta quest, none of my cosmetics were they obviously, but remember guys as long as you have skill (like me) cosmetics don’t matter
I mean, i had to factory reset mine because i forgot the password lmao. And honestly it aint bad because all you gotta do is put back all your info, like a brand new headset. You keep everything you just gotta put everything back.
I think the only way to save your videos is to link your headset to side link, open your videos folder and save all your videos to your headset, factory reset, and after the factory reset, add the videos that you saved onto your computer eariler, and drag them back in your headset.
You know the part where you had to pull those black things out of your controller what do you do if u don’t have those and already pulled those out when u got the headset I’m stuck on this screen and don’t know what to do
Not only you, I had to factory reset too, there was this one error called "black screen of death" on my Oculus 2, and it has been happening for a week or two, I tried restarting, booting, even more methods but nothing worked, so I had to do what I had to do, I factory reset my headset thanks to this error, not even knowing my account password, so you first AND NOW ME? Why did I do this... My finger painter, gone. My data, gone. My important mods, gone. And my precious photos, gone. I wish I could turn back time ☹️
If it is possible too connect it to a pc, copy all the files, (if u can), and then you can copy your files back onto the headset. I’m not sure if this works, just a suggestion if it happens again
Edit: yes you keep your friends after you factory reset your headset as long as you sign back in, and if you’re having problems with the controller, set up, take the batteries out and back in
Thats a boot loop, if the factory reset doesn't work, your headset is bricked..
I love how bro was just walking to his moniter with the switch docked looking like he was gonna play the switch but then he just screams: WHYYYYYYMEEEEE
@@KoltonEwaldhe's saying if the factory reset didn't work, then the headset would be bricked.

The ring means that your headset is android powered so that means that you can install a new os install apk files (android apps)
Hope this helps 😊

one time my quest 2 was failing to load apps and factory reseting helped :D

any files saved on your headset will be lost when a factory reset is performed.

My gorila tag wasent instsalling or update and i tried everything so i factory reseted it and it stayed in the app
So it takes me 3 weeks to fund and delete my device data
Now it wont connect to the app it just says cant connect to device jts been like that for 3 weeks now and its not working
Please can anyon tell me how to fix it my dad is going to shout at me and im scared if he does
Can u pls re explain that? I dont understand the exact point u are trying to say and I wanna help u out

2. Dalvik cache error
3. Fatal data partition corruptions.

5. Hardware issues.
6. Force shutdowns (sometimes)

Got you my guy😏
I did this too and it deleted all my games so I hade to re download. But it saved my progress and my coz ethics like in gym class and gorilla tag
does it save rec room
How did you do it
@itsnorma11sh3ll Did you have to buy your games again, or were they free?
@charliedwardle6646 they where free to download
Same thing happened to me I had to do the same thing turns out I over charged it so you probably did to hope this helps❤
Now we know, A meta quest is a android phone with a launcher
never knew that was right
Wait… did the erasing thing was the Samsung loading thing?
More likely a general Android animation because it runs on Android
Did you have cloud back up on or off
All quest 2 ogs have probably met it
