Hello All and Meta,
My Oculus 2 VR gogles was also currupcted and hard bricked by Meta update, that was issued in December 2024.
By the way I found, that it is not first such Meta problem, there were similar situation in year 2023 and 2022.
But this one is massive.
I am living in NON supported country by Meta. I live in Europe, but Meta wrote me that I need to deliver the VR gogole to USA or Taiwan. Both would costs me really big money, comparing with the problem.
I completely do not understand WHY META PUSH UPDATE IN COUNTRIES, THAT ARE NOT SUPPORTED ? How could Meta rool out update, that can possible demage funkction of its products to countries, where Meta do not provide any support ?
For me is not working the solution to push POWER button plus Volume - button for 45s. No side boot menu appeared.
Anyway. I HAVE POSSIBLE SOLUTION. But Meta support told me, that support has no contact to Meta enginnering department and they can not forward my question.
My Oculus 2 can boot to Qualcom EDL mode.
When you PRESS POWER and VOLUME + and VOLUME - bottons all together, just for a couple of second, than Windows computer recognize the Oculus 2 and the Qualcomm EDL mode is started. This EDL mode can upload complete software to the Oculus 2, same process as to upload firmware do any Qualcomm smartphone.
For example usting QFIL software to upload the firmware to Oculus 2 Qualcomm chipset.
So all I think is needed is a ONE firmware with XML file that mapp the firmware Oculus 2 memory address.
I have Oculus 2 256 GB.
Why Meta do not provide this software image?
Can anyone help with this? It seems is simple. Anyway I can not damage anythink more, as the Oculus 2 256GB of mine, is completely bricked.
