Unable to install SideQuest Web Installer on Quest 3

sucosam a year ago | 2 comments

I have followed the video to install SideQuest on my Quest 3 however when I get to the step where it says to Select Device and then select your Headset from the pop up, I do not get a pop up. I have developer mode enabled, using a USB3.2 Gen 1 data cable. SideQuest on the PC shows Oculus Quest 3 connected with green circle. Hoping for some advise on how to get this to work.

I'm sorry you're having trouble getting set up for sideloading with SideQuest. Here are a few things that could be the problem:

Developer Mode isn't on the Meta Quest app. Toggle it if it's already on.
You're on a secondary account in the Quest, not the main one.
You've not yet allowed the USB debugging prompt inside the headset.
The USB cable is faulty. Try as many as you own, or buy a new one. Try different USB ports too.
Restart the Quest.
Factory Reset.

Once all is good, you’ll see a USB debugging RSA fingerprint prompt on the headset; this is the only way to authorise the headset. Allowing the data/files prompt will not authorise the device.

If you get really stuck here’s a no-PC/phone tutorial: https://sdq.st/nopcnophone
