Rooting the meta quest 2.

I am curious on how to root my quest 2, I want to root it so that I can use a lot of apps with my headset that require root. I tried doing it by going to the usb update menu (bootloader) but when I connected my linux with adb and put "fastboot devices" but it came up with "no permissions (missing udev rules? user is in the plugdev group); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] fastboot" and no command worked with fastboot. I also tried "adb reboot fastboot" but on the headset it showed "Fastbootd" and the options were reboot and recovery mode, but still the fastboot didnt work and it came up with the same error. so can i get any help trying to get the bootloader unlocked and rooting it? thank you.

Hello,

to access Fastboot commands you must be in Bootloader (meta USB update mode), please reboot to bootloader.

you can access commands Fastboot, and oem commands (fastboot oem help)

Also, root is currently not possible yet unless you are on ancient version. So, I have made a discord server can join here https://discord.gg/ABCXxDyqrH . We have already achieved privilege escalation with Zygote injection
