You sure?

“In part, the unlocking is an attempt to guarantee that Go hardware will continue to be fully functional well into the future, allowing for "a randomly discovered shrink wrapped headset twenty years from now [to] be able to update to the final software version, long after over-the-air update servers have been shut down," Carmack wrote.”

Yes, I am sure. Look at point 2 in the instructions and follow the link.

The whole process for putting an Oculus device in developer mode is incredibly fiddly and annoying. You need a verified developer account. You an app running on a phone, which in turn requires an online login. You can't just do it from a desktop PC and you certainly can't flip a toggle on the device itself.

Ideally, as a follow-up to this, they will release something that allows putting the device into developer mode without requiring any of that. As of now, that does not exist.

I can confirm this, I've done it with mine. Even if you do everything from the bootloader alone, as soon as you unlock the bootloader and the device factory resets, you're required to use the Oculus app to continue setup.

I assume you're supposed to unlock the bootloader and... I guess, wait for someone else to release a fully defanged system image?
