I recently discovered that if you press and hold the power button+ volume up it will bring up a recovery menu just like on Android where you can update via adb and sideload. Not sure if this helps but it's something that has not been mentioned on here. Also power+ volume down is a USB update menu
Sadly nothing new. The recovery-mode which you mentioned is locked down (as it usually is, sadly) in a way that you can only sideload official firmware updates via adb, you can't even downgrade from there. What you can do is use fastboot to try "fastboot oem unlock", which needs some unlock code. The USB update menu seems to be more technician-oriented, which is good, but I couldn't figure out how to interact with it via a computer (sure, the volume- and powerbutton exists, but there isn't exactly a button saying "Unlock the bootloader").
Good to see that some more people are interested in this. Would love to see Meta or someone from a support team actually answer, so here goes another bump after years. MetaStoreHelp do you know anything useful (besides that the Quest 2 is not yet publicly unlockable)?
