I was stuck on this screen forever during the setup process and what worked was installing the software manually by following these instructions and plugging the headset into your phone.

It was frustrating, but wanted to look out for others who run into the same issue.

I'm stuck on pairing, I can't connect with my headset to my phone and I can't find where to put the code in the app. I don't know why they have to make this so hard.

I agree. so annoying. But yes, when you go into factory reset mode, select sideload update. Then I connected the headset to my phone and followed the instructions on the phone. Make sure you're logged into Meta on your phone. It took me two tries.

Im so frustrated, i upgraded my headsett from quest 2 -3s today and now i cant even use it
