I really wish Oculus would share their findings on the cause so far so we could have some idea of the nature and confidence that it definitely is firmware fixable.
A thought that it may be hardware-related did cross my mind too. But then I realized there would be no way to explain how it is that so many people don't have any issues with white static, while others get new headsets and the issue persists. That's often a good indicator of a configuration and/or software being a problem. Which, in turn, is a fixable item. This gives me hope

Yeah, I think you're probably right. There's just this niggling possibility of a problem with a batch of components used during manufacture in some headsets. That in itself doesn't preclude a firmware fix as it may be possible to mitigate a known behaviour caused by wrongly spec'd component with firmware changes... it happens with motherboard firmware to improve memory stability and compatibility for example, but as always all we can do is guess.
Oculus sending cables out to some people muddied the water a bit too, but I suppose they have to try everything if they hadn't pinned down the problem at that stage.

If they are confident it will be fixed in the near future then why don't you ask them what the problem is? Surely they must know what the problem is related to if they are confident of a fix in the near future?

Just got this reply from their support. This actually sounds very encouraging

My brief very intermittent flashes are still there.
