Issue with 2nd Quest 2

teacherclown 3 years ago | 2 comments

I got 2 Quest 2's for early Christmas. I successfully used Sidequest to mod Beat Saber to play custom songs on mine, yay!

But when after installing the old version .apk to my wife's Oculus using Sidequest, Beat Saber wouldn't start - it would show the Beat Saber opening splash screen but then would return to the Oculus Browser instead of showing the play menu. After a few uninstall/reinstalls, I allowed it to update to the current version, and it did the same thing! I rebooted the headset, and all apps were gone. I did a factory reset.

After the factory reset, I resynced it with my account so Beat Saber is available for install on the main menu. I assured that Developer Mode was still on and USB Connection Dialog was enabled (also double-checked that Account Sharing is off and no lock is set). When I plugged it into the computer, the Oculus gave the "Allow Access to Data" notice (Deny/Don't show again/Allow) but no USB dialog. Sidequest does not recognize the device, though Windows 10 does. If I switch the cable back to my Quest, Sidequest connects immediately after Windows sees it. Switch it back to my wife's and Windows sees it but Sidequest doesn't.

After connecting with Oculus Developer Support (thanks @Orla Sidequest), I disabled Developer Mode using my Android app, rebooted the headset, enabled Developer Mode, rebooted again, and that solved the problem. Yay! I now have properly modded Beat Saber on both devices, including the Beat Together mod.

However, I can't connect the two headsets because they're on one account. So I turned on app sharing and enabled Developer Mode for a secondary Developer account, but don't see any Unknown Sources on the secondary account (they're all present and executable from my primary account). Among the tweaking of settings, reinstalling BMBF, and rebooting, Beat Saber appeared as an Unknown Source for a moment, but otherwise can't access any sideloaded apps.

Any suggestions getting the Unknown Sources to appear for the secondary account?

Since the whole setup works from end to end on one headset and not on the other, that really means that problem is specific to that headset. Since it wont even show the dialog then all we can advise is that you reach out to oculus developer support. Heads up, they may ask you to do another factory reset and to be honest its not a bad idea. I have had to do more than one in the past with this issue.

Hope that helps.
