Hello there! We see you're having trouble pairing your device, as you mentioned. Don't worry, we can help you with this; we've got your back. Have you performed a factory reset on the device, also, please keep in mind that when you factory reset the device, the data will be erased, so make sure that cloud backup is enabled.
Could we also inquire whether the device is broken in any way? Also, keep in mind that the Meta device can only be paired with one phone, so whatever phone was used to pair the device must be used to pair and unpairing the device.

I'm having the exact same issue only I have the original quest. I believe Oculus screwed something up in the newest update forcing users to use Meta accounts and such.
I contacted Oculus Support and they said it's "an on-going issue and the Developers are working on it". Quite unacceptable for such a big company. Hopefully whatever it is gets fixed pronto.

Have you created a Meta account yet, and are you pairing the device on the same WiFi and Bluetooth?

Assuming you're talking to me, yes I've created a Meta account. And I'm not sure how I wouldn't pair the headset on "the same WiFi and Bluetooth". Maybe I don't fully understand, but all I see inside the headset is just "get the Oculus app" and a pairing code. Except that when I put the pairing code into the app it either spits out an error or gets stuck in a loop of endless pairing...

@DominatorVIP, if your Wi-Fi router is a dual-band router, then it has more than one signal output.
2.4Ghz, and 5Ghz.
Support is asking if all your devices are connected to the same signal. 🙂

Oh thanks for the clarification! I have a Wifi Extender and a main router. Most of my devices will likely want to connect to the WiFi extender which is set such that each individual device can select whether it wants 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz respectively. Not sure if that'd be an issue. The main router however, I think is just set to 5Ghz all the time. Not sure though.

Hey @DominatorVIP here's a few more standard troubleshooting steps to try.
If you could do the following in this order:
Perform a Hard reboot
On your mobile device
Things to note when pairing:
Please let us know if those steps worked 🙂

Thanks for the troubleshooting steps!
Unfortunately, they didn't fix my issue. I tried doing the Hard Reboot, but I don't see any "reboot" option, only the power off one, so it's less of a "reboot" and more of a "shut-down and then manually turn it back on" type of deal.
Something I noted while messing with the Bluetooth settings is that I can't "forget" the Oculus Quest because it's not even paired to begin with. It does pop up inside the "available devices" list (basically what devices are around you that can be connected to) and when I click on "Oculus Quest", the actual quest itself makes an audible beep/sound (the same one that it makes when you wake it from "sleep/idle mode") and on the phone it asks "confirm passkey is [insert 6 numbers here] to pair with Oculus Quest". If you hit yes, it thinks for a bit and then says "unable to pair with [oculus quest], please make sure the headset is ready to pair". So in other words, the headset KNOWS my phone exists, and that I'm trying to connect to it, but for whatever reason I just can't connect.
Any other troubleshooting you have that could maybe work? I really want to get this thing to work.

Hey @DominatorVIP , thank you for the update and thank you for trying all those steps for me.
Honestly the next best thing to do is to open a ticket with support , or you can send them a DM.
They have some tools they can use to help determine what the issue may be, but you'll need to provide some details about your account in order to authenticate your identity. Stuff you don't want to post on a public forum for sure!
My guess is that there's something up with your WiFi router that is preventing the pairing. When you open the ticket/chat make sure to list all the troubleshooting steps you've provided.
Please keep us updated with what happens! 🙂
