Meta Quest 3 keep rebooting when trying to apply update

I recently got my Meta Quest 3. I tried to start using it, but when it starts, it tries to install any available updates and constantly reboots without finishing this process. I tried a few things, like charging it until the light is green, updating it while still charging, and also trying a factory reset, but those options haven't worked for me. What else could I try or how could I determine what the problem is?

I have tried a factory reset and reset the router, and my Oculus Quest 3 still doesn't work. Are there also ways to fix it?

how did you understand that the update wasnt complete?  i am very bummed out that the ui doens not tell you anything.

I have the same issue, the Meta Quest ask for a Wifi connection and after a succesfull connection it begins to apply the first system updates ans ask to continue the setup on the mobile phone but after a few seconds it reboots and loop this process everytime. I tried to change the wifi network, to apply a factory reset, to charge the battery to 100% and nothing helps.

Same issue here... new quest 3

Yes, it looks like there is a server issue coming from the update server and the Meta Quest 3 reboots to provide a system incompatibility error. Please MetaQuestSupport, check if there are more people having this issue and solve the server connection error or give us another solution to bypass this problem.

I left it rebooting for an hour and it works now.
