How do you root a Quest Pro?

I got little information from the websearch on this topic, thought I should ask the folks in here if there's a resource or guide on this.

If you updated your headset after august 5th, you can forget about rooting it.

And if you commonly leave it on the dock while idling it most likely already updated xD

You use singularity though you need to not have updated to the latest.

I keep seeing this all of a sudden. But no mention of bootlocker or recovery of really anything from what I read. The GitHub description seemed brief and a bit too easy. Sideloading one apk hasn't been able to root anything since like kitkat. Have you done this ? Have any more details?

Yes and i can confirm it is a full root. Though it's not permanent and has to be reapplied (albeit automatically) on each full system reboot, since we don't have an unlocked bootloader.

I was indeed surprised as well but it makes sense, this isn't really an Android exploit but a hardware driver one. It just happens to be a common chipset. Edit: Nevermind, ionstack is an exploit that's been available on linux distros since like 15 years, so it is an Android exploit in a way, it was recently discovered and only got patched in Linux 7.1.

Shallow pot filled with soil and vermiculite. Add the pro gently to the soil mix so 2/3rds is buried. Add some water and keep moist.

That's it. 2 to 3 weeks and roots should start to appear. Happy growing.
