Hi there XxxForrestxxX,

 

We are happy to hear you decided to stay with us when upgrading from you Quest 2!

 

If you already have a developer account, there should be no issue in setting up your new Quest 3S for developer mode.

 

To enable developer mode you will need to do the following:

  1. Open the Meta Horizons mobile app.
  2. Navigate to Menu > Devices and then select your device.
  3. Go to Headset Settings > Developer Mode and then enable Developer Mode.
  4. Use a USB-C cable to connect your headset to your computer, and then put on the headset.
  5. Go to Settings > Advanced > Developer, and then enable Enable custom settings and MTP Notification.
  6. When asked to allow USB debugging, select Always allow from this computer.

We hope this gets you back up and running again!

Hey there,

 

Potentially what may be causing an issue here is if you are signed in via an additional profile. Developer mode only works if you are currently signed into the headset via the primary account. 

 

Additionally just in case it will be able to provide further assistance we will link the full developer mode information page below.

If you are continuing to encounter difficulties please do not hesitate to send us a PM so we can take a deeper dive into what may be causing the error.
