Hi all,
Got a new Quest 3S and cannot get past the initial setup/update screen
On the headset I see "applying software update" and it keeps resetting back to this same screen
On my app I keep getting a popup to setup the headset, if I click it says the headset is currently updating and to explore the app in the meantime.
It's been 6 hours and still nothing...
Any help? I saw similar posts for the Quest 3 but those were earlier in the year, nothing recent for the Quest 3S
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hold power and volume down together until you see the meta logo
Select side load update
The light on the side turns purple
Plug into PC
Go to meta.quest update page and select your device and follow instructions
Takes about 10 minutes

I have the same issue. It’s been 12 hours. I have 2 headsets and both are doing the same thing. Hope it gets resolved soon, seems like it may be something on their end.
