Meta Quest 3S stuck in boot loop after update – factory reset fails
I’m experiencing a critical issue with my Meta Quest 3S after installing an official system update. The device is now stuck in a boot loop and cannot start normally. I attempted to perform a factory reset through the boot menu, but it fails with an error. Currently, I only have access to the boot menu, and no other recovery options seem to work. Here is a summary of the issue: - Boot loop after official update - Factory reset fails with an error - Only boot menu is accessible Reinstall attempts did not resolve the issue I can provide photos or additional details if needed. Thank you.
Meta Quest 3 Stuck In Boot Loop and In Locked State
First of all my headsets lock state says locked, I was just booting up my meta quest 3 to play some gorilla tag(like always) and I was able to boot up the hedseat but the hedseat wasnt tracking properly, i was able to boot up gorilla tag before my hedseat fully shut down, when i tried to boot it up again it started a boot loop. Tried to shut it down using the USB something screen(idk the full name) and forcefully shut it down, boot it up again after 5 minutes, still a bootloop, reset the headset a few more times, boot loop stopped but i still couldnt boot it up, left it there, it booted up, couldnt do anything cause my headset wasnt tracking anything and cameras were just not working, since i couldnt do anything i shut it down, boot loop started again and i currently have the headset shut down, what should i do?
Meta Quest 3 Boot Problems
Hello, Since a couple of weeks I have problems with my META Quest 3 Headset. It started shutting off during use, unpredictadely. At some point it didn't start up anymore. I have been trying ever since to find a solution for this issue. I tried a software update through connection to the PC from the META website, but the headset is not recognised. I tried the power button for 30s. I tried the power button with the volume button and a reboot, also the return to factory settings. Nothing works. The device powers up to the META logo, then usually a bright light flash and then the device starts to reboot going through the same steps logo, sound, flash and shutdown. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I still think it is software related. Kindly Anke
