Bricked meta quest 2

Have they ever found a solution to the software brick that happened a year or 2 back? I don’t feel like shelling out more money i already have 3 headsets and at this point im debating just going to vive or ps5 vr

Never heard of this software brick youre talking about i been playing VR for over 5 years with the quest 2 and now the quest 3 guess i been luck if its that big of a problem but good luck on other platforms i still think quest is the best bang for your VR buck.

    Totally agree, the Quest is the best option at the moment.

      December 2024, update v72.

      Yes. Meta paused the update, fixed the issue, and provided replacements for affected headsets.

      Did your headset get bricked?? #update #quest3 #virtualrealityheadset #vr #gaming #meta #jaybratt

      You can try using the Meta Quest Software Update Tool to fix the headset. Make sure it is fully charged first.

      Alternatively, you can try the ADB method to update it.
