Sideloading an OTA image

Finding the correct OTA image

Before you begin

1. Download the correct firmware for your headset from crx’s list.
2. Connect your headset to your computer via a reliable USB-C cable.

Caution

You cannot downgrade to a firmware version lower than your current version, or switch your current firmware’s region using OTAs.

Flashing from PICO OS

1. Create a folder on the root of the headset’s storage called dload.
2. Copy the firmware you downloaded into this folder without extracting it.
3. On the headset, go to Settings > General > System Update, and select Offline Update.

Flashing from recovery mode

1. You will need a copy of ADB on your computer.
2. If you are not already in recovery mode, adb reboot recovery, or hold down Volume Up when powering on the headset.
3. On the headset, Apply update from ADB.
4. adb sideload <path_to_downloaded_firmware>
5. Wait for it to finish (it will take a while).
6. Optionally, on the headset, Wipe data/factory reset.
