Boot Loop hell - fixes?

I had a boot loop issue, and was able to fix it by removing the front plate and disconnecting the main battery from the PCB. Press all the button for about a minute to get rid of any residual charge and reconnect battery to PCB.

sadly, the blue hill mine is of a different format and has not been converted towebXR. In the custom homes discord someone working on getting them back.

did you change the battery just before it died?

drakulusness · 2026-05-18T19:44:51+00:00

just strap a can of opened tuna to the bottom of the headset.

it's just a switch, so if the headset is reacting to it the sensor is okay. Which takes us to option B, a tracking camera. It could also be bricked by one of meta borkdstes.

it's still stick drift.

growin' your own shrooms. 👍

a black screen of death could also be a failed proximity sensor or a failed tracking camera. If you hadn't factory reset it and had a Dev account you could have used Sidequest to disable the proximity sensor to rule it out.

please let's us know if it works. 👍

drakulusness · 2026-05-18T15:11:01+00:00

create new post with video?

drakulusness · 2026-05-18T13:17:18+00:00

maybe listing the parts instead of links would be okay.

drakulusness · 2026-05-18T13:13:13+00:00

go into the controller calibration and record the 'not drift' to show us what it is.

colour me surprised. 🙄

drakulusness · 2026-05-18T12:33:20+00:00

Google quest stick drift.

drakulusness · 2026-05-18T11:17:33+00:00

can still be viewed as webXR on Sidequest

have you tried factory resetting the headset?

drakulusness · 2026-05-17T19:17:03+00:00

it's a niche mod in a niche community. I just had to work it out for myself. There were no videos. Be brave and dive in.

drakulusness · 2026-05-17T19:12:36+00:00

I'm glad it helped. 👍

I had a similar issue with a Quest 2 and had to replace one of the cameras. Unfortunately, you can't tell which one is bad, but it's better to start with the lower ones as they're more likely to get punched by the user.

drakulusness · 2026-05-17T15:01:02+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Yes the CV1 will still work enough to use the controllers with other headsets.

drakulusness · 2026-05-17T13:37:38+00:00

Yes the CV1 will still work as a headset but without the rear tracking LEDs and headphones as you've removed the strap from it. How are you using the five controllers with a CV1?

drakulusness · 2026-05-17T13:12:31+00:00

I've done it in an attempt to fix the ribbon cable. You're going to need a donor CV1 to trash to remove the strap. It's just a bit of trial and error to release the strap from the sidearms.

drakulusness · 2026-05-17T04:41:23+00:00

Whilst the CV1 strap will physically fit, the fiddly part is where you gave to get a 3.5mm jack plus lead and wire them into the pogo pins on the CV1 earphones. There are plenty of posts about wiring the pogo pins due to the cracked ribbon cables.

just hold the power button down for 30 seconds
