Hey there @cmnvsteven! We totally understand how this is preventing you from being able to use your GearVR! We'd love to help you out, if you could send us a screen shot of the error message you're receiving, we'd really appreciate that! We look forward to hearing back from you!

Olá a todos....INFELIZMENTE para mim, a solução continua sendo temporária, mesmo com o Netguard depois 48h~72h o Oculus voltou a pedir atualização.

Depois do último tutorial alguém teve este mesmo problema?

A SACANAGEM é que estava tudo bem até dia 02 de Dezembro.......PORQUE A META FEZ ESTA SACANAGEM com a gente?

PODIA AO MEMOS CORRIGIR ESTA FALHA.

Hi @linda.310642! We understand you are receiving an Oculus network error on your Samsung Gear VR. That's not what we like to hear. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention! We're aware of the update issues some Gear VR users are experiencing. Did the error begin after a recent update?

META knows exactly that their recent update, or removal of the GearVR infrastructure triggered this behavior on Samsung`s #GearVR Platform. 

It is not a lost certificate - there is an update message pending - triggered from the META server (which can be even tricked). Once the file is reset (doing an APK reinstall) and access to the oculus servers is blocked the message does no longer return and the GearVR is working again. Probably they removed the Install file from the server but left a description header intended for the GearVR. Something that can be fixed by a software engineer within a day or two. 

The message I received "right now, we're unable to provide a specific timeframe for the resolution of these issues." does give me enough reason to assume that META is not interested to fix the GearVR Platform which they just deactivated by their own action.

I would have never bought Hardware, Games, additional backup phones, controller >1000$  - if I`d knew they just deactivate the complete experience right before Christmas.
