Quest 2 stuck in USB UPDATE MODE!! Please help!

[Qupo]

So I just updated to the newest version 23 around noon, spent a couple of hours playing Half-Life Alyx till the battery is very low. Turned off the device, charge it. And then tonight I unplugged the charging cable, and I notice that the sidelight doesn't turn off automatically and the light is orange instead of green for some reason. So I decided to take a peek and the screen is somehow ON and it just says USB Update Mode.



I have 5 options available on the Screen: Boot device, Device Info, Factory Reset, Sideload Update, Power Off.

None of these options work:
-Boot device would just restart the quest back to this very same screen.
-Device info just shows info of the device like serial number, Ram Size, etc.
-Factory Reset would just restart the device back to this screen just like what the Boot Device option did.
-Same with Sideload Update, it just restarts the device.
-Power Off would turn off the device. And if I turn it back on, I get the same USB Update Mode screen.

I'm at a loss here, is there a fail-safe to force Factory Reset the device? I'm seriously in need of help, I don't have the luxury of just sending the device back, unfortunately. Does anyone ever have the same experience? How can I get past this USB Update Mode screen? Thank you kindly for your help in advance.

Hi @Ponnice. We see you are having similar issues as your fellow peer. We don't want you to have to wait any longer for a resolution to get you back in the game! First, we want to make sure the following have been completed to confirm all troubleshooting has been attempted:

• Charge the headset for 2 hours.
• With the device powered on hard Reboot the headset by holding the power button for 30 seconds.
• As the device is coming back up, let's uninstall and then reinstall the Meta Quest mobile app.
• Lastly, perform a factory reset after backing up the device via cloud backup.

Hold down the + volume button, then hold down the power button, i think it can help (not sure).

Me too , even quest 3 the problem is still left

If you had got the oculus with insurance when you bought it you can go to the store you bought it and tell them " I was going to play oculus but a weird screen showed up, I don't know what to do" them they ask for info about the owner. Then you might need to pay a fee ( 100-150) and they will give you a new oculus.
