So last week I tried updating my firmware through the Oculus app, the firmware update failed then kinda got stuck in a loop until it finally completed.
I now get a 'Firmware update required / No HDMI connection' error. The firmware update completes successfully but I'm stuck with this message.
I've tried a new PC (with a fresh install) also tried a different connection/HDMI cable, tried different USB ports etc.
Has anyone encountered this before? Has the firmware fried my Rift?
I currently am experience a similar problem. It says it needs to update to firmware 709/b1ae4f61ae but comes up as error and asks me to reinsert the cables but has no effect. On clicking retry without removing the cables it tells me it's updated the firmware successfully but doesn't acknowledge my visor is connected and I'm back to square one. Tried removing the whole of the Oculus app and reinstalling by to no avail. Oculus are being helpful but I think even they're clueless as to the problem.
I just fired up my Oculus for the first time in a month, I'm seeing this exact issue. Looks like it's more of a widespread issue, have any of you made progress? I just made an Oculus support ticked, no response yet.
I am having the same problem, even plugged the headset into another system that I know that works by swapping the headsets, stil get the same error message for that headset.
I also opened a ticket, has anyone found a solution yet?
i just purchased my rift today and it is very frustrating that out of the box i am already having issues. i cant even run the setup process as it wont even let me install the firmware version and says my headset is not connected
Exactly the same problem has happened to me yesterday and I have raised a support ticket. My headset has been bricked after this firmware update. All cables, sensors, USB and HDMI ports are fine. PC is fine. Oculus headset is not and through no fault of the customer . Very unhappy.
Same here... Out of the box, discovered the headset and all sensors (i.e. ruling out an install/incompatibility issue). Got told that it needed a firmware upgrade, upgraded all 3 sensors fine and now rendered the headset in bootloader, connected but no HDMI connection, firmware upgrade required in red. Anybody figured out a workaround to force a firmware upgrade when in bootloader?
