Can't Enable Developer Mode

Noti0N
Explorer
I have a new Quest and am attempting to enable Developer mode.   I have followed the guide lines published to setup a new organization - unfortunately when I toggle the developer mode which launched the Create Organization requirement in a web page.  After entering a new organization, the developer mode will not enable.  Does anybody have any idea why this process does not work?

got the same problem. i don't use facebook login or the facebook app on my device. tried to restart and everything. so the only working solution is to try another device?

ok i think i found the solution... it is very similar to what Emilian1978 posted:

you need to be logged in with your mobile browser in your oculus account (with a browser that accepts cookies) and you need to have created an organisation.

The app tries to use your browser and check into your account. if that doesn't work it shows you the creator link... not a very intuitive way to tell me that my browser is not logged-in but i think this was the problem.

ok you can try this without the need of another device or restarting the oculus.

go to the creator link and scroll down to the part where they write that you need to create an organisation.
follow this link and log-in to your account. if you don't have an organisation yet, create one.
make sure you are using a web-browser with enabled cookies and don't log-out.

when you try to enable the developer mode, the app will access your browser and check into your account. if you are not logged in (and don't have an organisation created?) it won't work.

It would be nice to get a bit more precise error message here, but i think this should work.

OK - I got it...  Make sure that you are logged in on the browser with the same user as the Oculus app....   I had one e-mail address on one and a different email address on the other - hence 2 accounts...  I logged out on the website, logged in with the same account as the Android app (since thats where all my purchases were done) and voila I was able to activate Developer mode...   and it only took an hour and a half to figure that out... there are others that said similar but not as  clear (I think....)

the only thing that helped me after hours of searching- install adbGUI

Fix: Follow the steps below





1. Download the latest version of adbGUI





2. Unzip the folder





3. Double click on “adbGUI”





4. Check in the Oculus Go if you need to give permission





5. Your Oculus Go should now be connected succesfully.

Because I don't own a cell phone I had to use a fucking friend's cell phone to activate this piece of garbage, so now i'm fucking screwed because my PC oculus info is different from the phone's info or some shit, the Quest uses her and her phone's info and at some god damn point my facebook login and my oculus login were merged (???) so now I can't activate dev mode on her phone because I don't fucking know, it's a mess and Oculus and Facebook are fucking garbage.

I had the same problem, just use their garbage mobile website to create the organization, go back and then enable developer mode all on the same phone, login through facebook is what it made me do in the end.

Bloody hell this sucks. You should be able to plug it in and turn it on. Truly terrible experience
