Getting Oculus Go working from factory reset to homescreen without controllers

gistfile1.txt

"eplying on this because i did it, i will note this does not work well and seems kinda up too luck if it works or not,(make sure the headset is factory reset and check at every step if developer mode is enabled) then boot hold vol- and power till the weird screen comes up click the first option it will be boot somethin i forgot.. but after that it will boot and say setup on the phone dont do that, hold vol+/- for a good while it didnt work first try for me but after like 5 or so tries it finally worked and brought me too a wifi connect screen, connect too your wifi using the vol+ as your select key then it will say updating please continue on your phone, let it sit on that screen for a while once you've let it sit for 2-3 min if it does nothing but stay on that screen go too your phone and connect it through there, after i did that it tried too setup wifi on my phone just setup wifi again it may or may not kick you out of the screen like it did nothing just do it again worked for me after 2 times then itl say your connected please go too the headset once your at the headset it will prompt you too click the oculus button on your controller well we dont got a controller so you gotta search for oculus browser on your phone ( search on google not the oculus store) then click on that and download it too the headset this may take a few tries as it didnt download first try for me, once its downloaded click launch and wait for it too open once its open you should be past that screen and able too freely use the os ( use vol +/- for select , use both at the same time too go back out of something, curently no way too scroll unless you connect a gamepad (you have too connect said gamepad inside the headset, again this is very limmited since a lot of apps require an oculus controller) if these steps dont work go back too before downloading oculus browser and open up oculus tv or rooms these give you limited capabilities till your able too download oculus browser and use that insted. sidequest works for a lot of apps but most apps dont work on this headset anymore sadly, anyways i hope this helps someone"

* Will know it works if the device is connected in the ios/android quest app 
* On press Oculus screen, power off go to boot screen "+/- volume" and boot, hopefully should see horizon home

If that fails...

Get a Nintendo Switch Pro controller proess sync while Quest app asks for regular controller, it should sync and ask which hand.

Tryina launch an app thru the oculus app on the phone doesn't work. It just does nothing
