Oculus gallery doesn't start

I'm using Quest1.
The other day I reset it to factory settings.
I have reinstalled the Oculus gallery.
But Oculus gallery doesn't start.
I get a message saying "oculus gallery has stopped repeatedly".

What should I do now?

I am encountering this exact same issue. Oculus Gallery worked fine before the factory reset. Afterwards, I keep getting the error you encountered. I am on the latest updates, both headset-wise and app-wise.

It seems that Oculus gallery does not work in Quest2.
Perhaps Oculus Gallery will not work in Quest 1 if you set it to factory settings.

I am using Quest 1 myself. No idea why factory resetting causes it to fail, since it worked fine before the reset, with the same firmware and app versions.

What I'm most interested in right now is whether the Oculus Gallery works with the recycled OCULUS QUEST 1 headset.

If it doesn't work, it may have been intentional.

I'm having the same issue but my issue started out off the blue. I was not able to troubleshoot the problem so I ran a factory reset to try to fix it. After the reset it still did not work. I'm currently getting a "Oculus Gallery Keeps Stopping" error.

 

Please help....please.

 

Thanks

This article seems to explain the problem:

Seems like they are phasing out Oculus Gallery because Oculus TV has some of the same functionality (in theory).

OCULUS: why don't phase it out more gently? Or at least respond to this thread?

I didn't buy Quest2.
I bought a Quest 1 that can be used with Oculus Gallary.
Factory settings are the states in which Oculus Gallary can be used.
I think it is our duty as a company to make Oculus Gallary ready for use.
