READ THIS UPDATE 👀❗:

Something else you can try if you're still facing the update loop issue is uninstalling the updates for the ""Meta/Facebook App Manager" and "Meta/Facebook App Installer" apps using these steps:

1. Go to your Phone's Settings >Apps
2. Under the 3 dot menu, enable "show system apps"
3. Using the search bar search for: "App Installer" and "App manager" to find the "Meta/Facebook App Manager" and "Meta/Facebook App Installer" apps.
4. For those two apps try uninstalling all their updates, disable them and then re-enable them. This should restore the apps to use "Facebook" in their name instead of "Meta".
5. Try launching a VR app from the Gear VR app.

You may also have to prevent those apps from auto-updating by disabling auto updates from the Google Play Store app and the Galaxy Store app as well if you have it. Also note in the video I was using a factory reset phone only for demonstration purposes and it is not required for following this tutorial.

Make sure however that you do have a Gear VR compatible phone to follow this tutorial. You can see a list of them that are compatible from this Samsung Support page:

If you still continue to have issues even after trying what I've suggested and the below update loop fix guides from Gear VR .NET, then there is honestly not much else I know of that I can recommend for you to try. Hopefully someday we'll have a better method for getting our headsets working again without these workarounds and I wish that you'll have success with at least one of them.

What an amazing video! Got my Gear VR up and running again, finally! Thank you for linking the newest method of fixing this because what you did in the video wasn't enough as it was stuck in the dreaded update loop. But I followed their instructions and it works great! Plus it's mind blowing how many games and apps they have in the vault! I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight! Thanks again!

tank you is worked! more or less because in practice when I clicked vr gallery to go to vr mode it told me that oculus kept interrupting for those who have the same problem as me, follow these instructions to fix it:

step n.1: uninstall oculus and immediately open gear vr service

step n.2 click on gallery or samsung internet vr in theory the vr mode is activated without problems

step n.3 have fun in vr mode!

edit:I almost forgot when you close VR mode you don't have to close Gear VR Service because if you do you have to delete all the components like Oculus VR Oculus Media Puglin etc then reinstall them and also the Oculus App included but I recommend installing the components first and then the Oculus App. but it is not necessary to do this because if the vr mode turns on again it is fine if it gives you the setup wizard but you have all the components already installed you have to do as it says

Funny story Hear me out, when I was younger I bought the gear vr with a controller, and used it with my dad's samsung galaxy 7 edge had lots of fun with it but later moved on and I kept, I couldn't use the headset anymore, don't have the compatible phone and the compatible phone is outdated, so it's a waste to just buy an older phone that I will only use with this headset, but I had a galaxy A32 and looked everywhere if it's possible but didn't find the answers so I tried my self and got all the needed software to power a gear vr on a the A32, i got far but I don't have an type c adapter and also don't want to get it, but I tried the developer mode options but it kept crashing so there is no head movement but when I connect my gear vr controller to the phone I can see that it's working and have the side by side screen but it's just not right and the 3D illusion won't work that way when the screen is placed like that, but I am not an android professional or android programmer, If i was I would have fixed the problem, but still I tried my best and got far, and I am still curious on how I can fix this little problem, maybe if someone more knowledgeable of the gear vr would help me. But it was worth trying, so try it out yourself if you don't believe me because it's just a few apk's at the end of the day that everyone can download.

[allanjoensen]

Can't make a new oculus account via Facebook ? When I am asked to verify my email add there pops up a notification that says " unsupported post request " & so can't get any further ! Any help would be greatly appreciated 😊

[daviddelgado]

Buenas, has podido pasar el archivo de tu Samsung a un teléfono actual y que corra normal. Mi Samsung s8+ no le funciona bien el táctil y me es difícil usarlo y espero solucionar el problema que todos tienen que oculus no tiene soporte técnico. Espero tu respuesta
