Quest 1 not connecting to mobile App after factory reset (Headset Not Found) (MEGATHREAD)

Hello!

I have a quest 1 that I used for a while and it worked normally. Yesterday I turned on app-sharing and added a second account to the headset and after testing something I deleted the second account again. After that, my Quest 1 was not showing up in the mobile App anymore for the main account. (wanted to enable Dev. mode again) I tried reconnecting (adding a new device), did a factory reset, installed the app, tried another Oculus account, tried another phone but it always displays this message [shown in the picture] after trying to connect vie the 5 digit code. Right now the headset is completely unusable because I cannot complete the initial connection to the app that is required. So I need a fix as soon as possible.WhatsApp Image 2023-05-17 at 17.17.50.jpeg

Hey friends!

I checked with the team, looks like this has been reported by other users as well. Some people have said that a factory reset helped resolved it, so make sure you give that a try! Enabling cloud backup will ensure your data stays safe.

 

The engineering team is working on a fix for this pairing issue. Make sure you reach out to the support team with a ticket or through a Private Message so that they can get a closer look into everything. I know this probably isn't the answer y'all are hoping for, but I wouldn't want to leave anyone in the dark.

I recently bought a Quest one from a close friend, and he factory reset it for me; now, when I try to pair it with the app, I put in the pairing code, and it says the headset doesn't exist. Help, please

Having the same issue, created support case (7320777) and tried the usual steps provided. No luck. 

What is the status from the engineering team?
