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
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
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
1:23 this swirly thing belongs to android(google also) to see this you need android 12 or later, for Google pixel, it’s for wireless charging(google pixel dock or other)
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
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.
If it doesn’t work, try manually powering it off and don’t turn it on for maybe a week or two but keep it plugged in. It might have a bug in the system that needs to fix.
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 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
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
Explanation:if the microphone is broken that means every time it boots it checks if anything is broken and if something is broken it restarts which starts a boot loop like the ps3 update
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)
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
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
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
For #1 at 3:06 that is not fully true. If you sync your headset to your phone, you photos and videos will all be there in the meta app and there is an option to automatically upload them to your camera roll.
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.
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)
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
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.
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.
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?
how did you do the little tutorial part, I bought a used quest and I can’t get past the tutorials screen because I dont have the little black tags. Please help me
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.
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 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.
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.
If you factory reset, your vr nothing will happen. It will only fix it and all your games will still be there. But you have to reinstall them It will save everything and also I had to factory reset my VR a lot of times
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
my headset has a glitch where i just can't connect to my internet. it doesn't even say anything like "wrong password" or "can't connect". as soon as I click the button to confirm password, it just takes me back to the list of internets I can connect to.
i know how to fix this, so you have to disconnect your wifi then go to browser it will say "cant connect to wifi" you click on that and then you connect to your internet, if this doesn't work then your cooked
One of the reasons it does that (based on experience) is that it can have full storage and if you continue to not solve it ,it might get bricked and fail to factory reset like mine did.😊
OK so this is what you do you have to factory reset it but because it did it to me like yesterday is because it needs to update but it will not update so you have to factory reset it for to update. It does not delete your account. You have to have a phone and download the download app for you to keep your account.
@@aplayer303 usually, the Company, in this case Oculus should make the updates downloadable, and if there would be an invalid Version, it should not apply it.. Otherwise that would be bad practice.

Dont worry about your games if your headset gets reseted because if you re-instal the games you'll keep everything.

How do I reinstall when I go to the shop it says that I have purchased the game but it isn’t in my applications
Just go to the store where you get games and re-instal them. And the application thing is just a glitch.
If it doesn’t work, try manually powering it off and don’t turn it on for maybe a week or two but keep it plugged in. It might have a bug in the system that needs to fix.
