Oculus Quest & Quest 2

1. Enable developer mode on the device. 
For steps on how to enable developer mode on Quest devices, see Oculus' documentation. 
2. Launch ArborXR's Device Setup App and login. 
3. Connect your device(s) to the PC via USB. 
Use a USB hub to set up devices in bulk.
4. If this is the first time the Quest is being connected to the PC while in developer mode, the Device Setup App will show the error, "The device is connected to adb, but adb is not authorized for remote debugging of this device."

   

5. To resolve this error, put on the headset and within VR you will see two prompts one after the other:
   1. Accept USB debugging? Select Always allow from this computer. 
   2. Allow access to data? Select Allow. 
6. Take off the headset and go back to the Device Setup App. The error message will have disappeared.
7. Name the device (optional).  
8. Click on the Set Up [#] Devices button. The install will fail, which is expected. The Device Setup App will show the error, "One or more accounts have been added to the Android user on the device".

   

9. After clicking the Set Up [#] Devices button in the previous step, an ADB command will have run behind the scenes and have opened a hidden settings menu on the device. To resolve the error showing in the Device Setup App:
   1. Put on the headset and within VR you will see the settings menu. This menu is translucent and appears overlayed on top of the Quest home background environment. 
   If you do not see the settings menu within VR, it is likely because the device does not detect a boundary and as such the boundary UI is showing in place of the settings menu UI. Please ensure a boundary is drawn then retry step 9. 
   2. Scroll down till you see the menu item Accounts, then click on this. 
      
   3. Click into the Oculus account then click Remove Account.
      Note: Due to a recent change from Meta, the button to Confirm the removal of the account may be invisible on some devices. If your device appears to be impacted by this change, upon clicking Remove Account, you will need to click somewhere in the general area indicated by the screenshot below as this is where the invisible Confirm button is located:
   4. Click into the Facebook account then click Remove Account.

   5. If there are other accounts displayed, in addition to Oculus and Facebook, remove those as well. 
      
10. Take off the headset and go back to the Device Setup App. Disconnect then reconnect the Quest device(s) to your PC. The error message will go away.
11. Click on the Set Up [#] Devices button once more. Now that the Oculus and Facebook accounts have been temporarily removed, the set up will complete successfully.
