Thats a boot loop, if the factory reset doesn't work, your headset is bricked..

[@alexthepro9396]

I love how bro was just walking to his moniter with the switch docked looking like he was gonna play the switch but then he just screams: WHYYYYYYMEEEEE

[@imalive365]

​@@KoltonEwaldhe's saying if the factory reset didn't work, then the headset would be bricked.

[@KoltonEwald]

@imalive365 I see, thanks

[@nadjaicotton]

what does bricked mean and can it be fixed? mine is doing this out of nowhere

[@niosem]

Bricked means the headset is a brick. Literally.

[@KoltonEwald]

Anyone that’s wondering: Yes it keeps you friends after you factory reset.

[@MarioDeutsch_nothing]

bros so late 💀💀💀💀

[@bloonkyyytm4092]

Ahh, the Setup Music hits hard of nostalgia even when i have quest 2 for 4 months

[@king_creeperz]

Factory Reset is basically resetting the headset back to its state when you first buy and launch it up, all of your data is lost, but since you have a oculus account, you will keep stuff on the account, like the songs and cosmetics.

[@GoofyGoober747]

TBH I really don’t care if (I ever factory reset my headset)I lose most of my progress in most of my games, all I care about is gorilla tag. I love that game so so much And Jesus

[@KoltonEwald]

Edit: yes you keep your friends after you factory reset your headset as long as you sign back in

[@TRMwingm4n]

Dude i was wonderong if your games deleted with the game data too but this vid helped me out so much my headset keeps on restarting itself and has so many errors but i had so many things on it and didnt want to lose. Thank you

[@boogiehasfun]

i think it is common sense that you’d lose bmbf by the fact it said it erases EVERYTHING. all your data on that headset was erased, nothing was kept. the reason why some things stayed was because it is linked to your account or it is saved in cloud, like how you kept your gt cosmetics.

[@aaronytdev]

I remember factory resetting my Quest 2 when first getting it, because I bought it off Facebook, and the previous owner's account was still on it.

[@LemenLol]

That feeling when you have to factory reset stuff is very very scary. I had a factory reset my Meta Quest twice I was really scared the second time because it was showing how to use it and I thought I restarted all of my progress

[@cookies5129]

3:08 a factory reset just wipes everything and goes to the setup as if its new its mostly for like returning and stuff or giving it away and it literally said YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA

[@Spacegunbirdy]

Thanks for informing me I was so nervous to factory reset it 😅

I’ve had to factory reset my quest like 6 times. I’ve had that issue where the meta logo just appears and disappears, so annoying!

NOOOO DUDE YOU JUST HAD TO WAIT TILL IT DIED YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FACTORY RESET! IT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL.

I love the fact that is says "Erasing" while factory resetting just to make you feel more miserable.

[@NotPurplez]

I think the only way to save your videos is to link your headset to side link, open your videos folder and save all your videos to your headset, factory reset, and after the factory reset, add the videos that you saved onto your computer eariler, and drag them back in your headset.

[@PortableDrive]

The ring means that your headset is android powered so that means that you can install a new os install apk files (android apps) Hope this helps 😊

[@UncleNugget-ge7qc]

If any of yall dont know what a factory reset does, it basically deletes EVERY SINGLE THING. it doesn't leave anything behind. But if you back up your account or whatever you keep everything. You just need to go through the setup again.

[@annatwinzer342]

one time my quest 2 was failing to load apps and factory reseting helped :D

[@Notdougtheboug]

I feel you 😢 i had to factory reset my headset too

[@GabrielFurryPhone]

usually that means you need to wait a bit cause your Q2 is way to slow that it goes into that stage and it happens on my q1

[@isaackingvideos]

Your headset had a boot loop. This is caused by a data corruption. Causes.. 1. Storage is full (Common) 2. Dalvik cache error 3. Fatal data partition corruptions. 4. Cache partition corruptions 5. Hardware issues. 6. Force shutdowns (sometimes)

[@SDaviduOfficial]

One of the reasons it does that (based on experience) is that it can have full storage and if you continue to not solve it ,it might get bricked and fail to factory reset like mine did.😊

[@Dreadboyz]

This happened to my quest 2 but I just left it for a couple of months and now it’s back to normal all of a sudden

[@TheInsaneEyeman]

If it is possible too connect it to a pc, copy all the files, (if u can), and then you can copy your files back onto the headset. I’m not sure if this works, just a suggestion if it happens again

[@cirjeheehrhehehehe6960]

I had to factory reset cuz my stupid quest 2 kept saying storage systems keep stopping and then now I can’t connect to my quest every time I try to connect to the quest 2 on my phone it says connect but it still shows the white screen and the 5 digit number what do I do?

[@CarlosTheSkeleton999]

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TOO!! it just kept restarting over and over again

[@NBNJedi_Jordy]

SAME

[@LilCompVR]

I had that happened to me all that I had to do was just hold down the power and volume up button for like 10-20 seconds and it worked

[@andrewsvr.archives]

I mean, i had to factory reset mine because i forgot the password lmao. And honestly it aint bad because all you gotta do is put back all your info, like a brand new headset. You keep everything you just gotta put everything back.

[@ItzGamingTime292]

I had a situation where my headset would not pair to my phone when it was deleted, I did this, and it ha no problem pairing. Thank you for the help

[@GreenCrystalVR]

I feel your pain, I filled my oculus up to half a gigabyte of space left and it literally turned on and then automatically shut down, I am actually happy that I did that because a had about 25 gigabytes of random videos and screenshots

[@Wai_dev]

Tbh with their updates its normal that u have to reset it sometimes XD

[@apolloagamer4622]

thank you i got it working im subbed and liked for this you saved my VR!!!

[@gdplayer1035]

welcome to android hell, buddy

[@nathangaming.8112]

I had to before, kept boot looping. All my data was saved onto my account so i just had to connect it to my side quest on my moms phone and it was good again. It deletes all your videos and games but all progress is saved on games and the games you have had previously downloaded are shown in your library.

[@madbryers]

You could’ve factory reset it through the website, and selected what games you wanted to have saved on oculuses “cloud” sort of.

[@JaxMaxed]

OK so this is what you do you have to factory reset it but because it did it to me like yesterday is because it needs to update but it will not update so you have to factory reset it for to update. It does not delete your account. You have to have a phone and download the download app for you to keep your account.

[@Da_Monke_boi2.0]

1:51 man I haven’t seen that in one year since I got my headset

[@DeltaC79]

You have to make sure that either A: you have a local backup of app data B: all app data is stored in the cloud

[@Crixtrs]

How do I do that

[@Hap6605]

I had to factory reset my own Quest when I first got it like 2 years ago, not even one startup was possible. (it was a quest one)

[@Ilikemyprofilepictureyay]

as long as your account has your email attached to it you will be logged out but you can easily log back in no biggie every single thing you had previously will come back

[@GLITCHGAMING9]

If you factory reset, your vr nothing will happen. It will only fix it and all your games will still be there. But you have to reinstall them It will save everything and also I had to factory reset my VR a lot of times

[@AxemMist]

That colorful circle is due to the os runs android

[@IceLEMONN_]

So when u pair it (your headset) your accounts logged in?or do u have to log into your account

[@IceLEMONN_]

Thank you so so so much bro your a life saver

[@testyhat]

[@Manly_face]

If the Factory reset doesnt work you need to install the original firmware of the headset in the Internet

[@ZenDevOFFICIAL]

For those that have this error you need a better cable because the charger you use is a very bad charger or has something wrong with It will also take like 4 hours tk get to regular charging speed so yea I hope this helped goodbye

[@YeetusPlayz]

Yeah, I've had to factory reset mine 2-3 times... Meta are really bad at creating software that works well and is intuitive, I've had lots of issues with them. Hopefully they can sort out their software.

[@hydrrox]

this same thing happened to me you just gotta plug it in for like 1-3 hours and it will turn back on

[@icedivaoriginal]

Yall i tried to pair my headset but it ask me to able my location and i accepted but it am not able to press from which VR oculus i have it blocked i cant press ot anything it like ghosted or something so i cant pair, does that mean i got hacked maybe?

had to factory reset mine cuz i thought i was just setting a passcode for an app that i never wanted to be able to open but it set it for my whole headset

[@Munchymonke]

Same thing happened to me I had to do the same thing turns out I over charged it so you probably did to hope this helps❤

[@Tenjirokemedo]

im confused, i thought bro went to the MD world then got boot looped by one of the dinasours 🙂

[@verixvr]

Bro I had to factory reset my quest 2 like 8 times over the past 2 years thank fully I've upgraded

[@CarlosTheSkeleton999]

I had to factory reset too but it doesn’t wipe your account but it does wipe other stuff like apps but not app daya

[@Hamzahamza-zo1gm]

Explanation:if the microphone is broken that means every time it boots it checks if anything is broken and if something is broken it restarts which starts a boot loop like the ps3 update

[@Hamzahamza-zo1gm]

Hope this helped

[@itsnorma11sh3ll]

I did this too and it deleted all my games so I hade to re download. But it saved my progress and my coz ethics like in gym class and gorilla tag

[@RedBlitz174]

does it save rec room

[@Ivanlopez-jj1jl]

How did you do it

[@charliedwardle6646]

@itsnorma11sh3ll Did you have to buy your games again, or were they free?

[@KoltonEwald]

@charliedwardle6646 they where free to download

[@L1NK-VR]

One time two of my brothers had headsets and they were both quest 2’s and when I try to sign in for them it connected to one of my brothers account so I had to factory reset so I can get my other brother his own account

[@recbucketofficial]

i hate doing this when my headset is being dumb

[@Barertrack69]

To fix boot loops, just use the official charger

[@isaackingvideos]

That's not the cause of boot loop errors.

[@Maks7594]

interesting how theres no button to factory reset in the os, u have to do that via recovery

[@jasonskinner9064]

Also if u have 2 headsets and you factory reset 1 of them,you can still pair the account on the other headset. No progress lost😃

[@videsus]

Spinning circle appears when android devices are being factory resetted or are being updated. If you have ever done sideloading, you have seen windows from android (probably). So technically, Quests runs Linux because Android runs on the linux core.

[@user-nz9nw8nj5g]

Do i keep my game data like my xp stuff like that or do i have to start from sctratch on every game

[@garypranzo9334]

Went to use my Quest 2 and now it thinks my device is part of an organization and will not accept any of my known emails to log in, I factory reset but the Quest 2 is still useless.

[@tyson-media-group]

It's called boot looping. This can often be caused by thirty party apps that have a lot to do with other processes on the android apps that run system wide. Most common examples of this include things like Kiosk apps witch restrict the device to one app and one app only, Parental control apps that set time limits on the device, block apps, and block specific settings from being changed and some other more advanced things that I VERY highly doubt that you would have been involved in. This has happened to me on a tablet that my business uses as a kiosk many times the biggest reason for it is normally because that software is not a great choice and is not a well developed software and causes it to boot loop because it is now cached enough information to run locally thus it can do that on boot. My team and I ended up creating a new app for our kiosk thing. As for you I would assume that it is parental control app or you installed a bad pirated game. I know Quest's are based on android and I have seen this on android phones tablets etc. so this is interesting to see on a quest!

[@tyson-media-group]

Factory resetting removes that apk and thus you no longer have the problem.

[@_-noxxon-_]

I mean it doesn't sound so horrible, I mean I guess it's a good reason to not store stuff on the headset, but I can kinda relate, it's like deleting a harddrive. But I don't store much of anything on my quest 2 so... It wouldn't hurt me, and I'm actually ready for reinstalling firmware incase I get banned for piracy lmao

[@crzyjmo1656]

You're lucky Because this is my last VR headset and it will never factory reset
