Oculus Sensor Firmware Error!! Please Help!

Hello Oculus Rifters,

So for 5 straight days I have been troubleshooting the Firmware
Sensor Error CV1 problem with everything I could find online to fix the
solution but nothing worked. Im
using the ASUS G20cb computer running Windows 10 64bit. I click the oculus firmware update and it begins
the update, during that time I hear the Windows sound of a USB port being
plugged in and unplugged twice. After I hear that sound, it shows that there
was a sensor error and could not update firmware. Windows shows that the sensor
is connected, up to date and working properly. 
I have uninstalled and reinstalled oculus and all
drivers, plugged into different USB 3 ports, reinstalled all oculus drivers,
and updated all ASUS USB, BIOS, ect. drivers as well. Sensor worked fine until
oculus firmware Sensor update was requested. 

Since the oculus was working before the Windows Anniversary
update, I thought a Factory reset of the ASUS G20cb would fix it (SINCE IT WAS
AN OCULUS READY PC), which rolls back before the windows anniversary and
deletes all files and programs that were on the computer. Believe me, this was
my last resort of fixing it because I didnt want to lose everything I had on
the computer. Turns out after the factory reset and loading the oculus program
back on the computer, it still comes up with a SENSOR FIRMWARE ERROR!



I did a SECOND factory reset and this time ran all the windows
Anniversary updates before I installed the oculus program, but I am still
getting the same Oculus Sensor error. My computer says all of my USB 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 drives are working
properly, so it is nothing wrong on my end of the computer. 

The ASUS 3.0 USB shows it is plugged in and working correctly, and in the Oculus Device Setting it shows connected, but I get a notification that pops up in the bottom right of my screen that says cannot find sensor please connect. 

****When I look at the Sensor device in Oculus setting it shows the error 178/unknown (Update Required to 178/e9c7e04064ed1bd7a089e738b638b4c8467aa843-DIRTY)

Do I just need a new Oculus Sensor!!??



Please,
any insight on this problem would help me out! Thank You!

Sensor issue. One sensor stopped working. Then 1 week later?
 Ya. Guess what, the other one stops to. Says its off.
I don't think anything is wrong with the sensors tho.
Something about a certificate I am starting to see here.
always something new. Never the same problem.
so inventing new fixes has become a issue.
If a problem arrives and is completely new, how do you go about it?
the other sensor doesn't show up at all, but I hear it initialize when I plug it in.
