can't use Oculus Go after Meta Account change

Hi,

Meta forced me to update my Oculus account to a Meta account. After I did this, my Oculus didn't start beyond the repeating three dots... I tried everything, but nothing worked.

Finally I decided to factory reset the headset, removed the device in the Oculus mobile app and remove the app from my phone. 

After I reinstalled the app, I started the Oculus Go. This time it's asking me open the Oculus mobile App to connect the headset. In the App I can 'see' the headset and select is. The App then tries to connect, but tells me this headset is already connected to my Meta-account. It advices me to restore the factory default on the headset, which I have done already several times... is this where I toss a perfectly good headset in the bin, or is there a way that I can still get this to work again?

I wish that worked for me, but when I try it, I have no “launch in the go” option. This is so frustrating. I have my grandson here beside me wanting to play and I can’t access anything.  

Thanx for your info, but this doesn't work for me. I did a factory reset of the device when it just showed the looping '...' . I can go to My Library in the phone app and select a VR-app to start on my device, but there is no device to chose from. 

That’s awful. It would be nice if Mark didn’t try to force us into upgrading to the super expensive Quest 2!

I hope you find a solution.  It sounds like your Go is not linked to your phone app but I don’t know if that’s possible to do while your Go is doing its “…” thing.  

 

After the factory reset, the device is not doing the '...' loop thing anymore, but only displays to go to oculus.com/app to setup the device... 😞 

Hello, buddy!
I had had this problem for two weeks. It started working after next advice (from Oculus support).

Accessing and using the Route This App:
1. Download the Route This Helps app: open the web browser on your mobile device and navigate to: https://api.routethis.com/dashboard/download.html
2. Open the app and enter your access code: ****
3. Follow the steps on our support site to initiate a network scan in the app and find other helpful troubleshooting steps here


About access code I don't know it was only for me or not that's why I haven't written one.

 

habe ebenfalls das Problem .. Und keine Lösung er koppelt nicht mehr .. 

Diese Lösung funktioniert nicht .. Die Okulus wird mit SN gefunden das koppeln funktioniert jedoch nicht ..

Was ist das für ein Zugangscode ??

Why doesn’t the Oculus work the way it used to work? Is it necessary to load the Meta crappy software? Why can’t I just use it like I have been for several years. It was a great device and now it’s crap because of your software. Thanks for nothing. 

I’m going to contact the Washington attorney generals office. I suggest you reach out to your state, too. This cannot stand. It’s poor business practice and we should get a refund.
