Quest Standalone Installation of Echo VR

Using the Installer app, you can install Echo VR onto your Quest headset.

Prior to starting:

  • Remove additional Meta accounts from your headset

  • Uninstall Echo VR from your headset

  • If after installing Echo VR the game immediately closes, ensure you performed these two tasks before retrying the install. 



If you don't own Echo VR on your Meta account, use the next step below (No license patch), instead of this one.

It's important that you have your developer mode enabled on your Quest headset. Check here on how to do that here.


In this install app menu, you can install Echo onto your Quest.

  • The first step is to click on the Start Download button and wait for the download to finish.

  • The OPTIONAL CONFIG is, as it says, optional. If you need to have a different config.json than the one used for the Echo VR Lounge, you can do it here.

  • Now you can click on Install Echo to Quest and it will automatically install Echo on your Quest.

​

Run the game, but DO NOT press Restore if a pop-up offers the option. Press close or open instead. (If you restore by accident, you'll have to repeat steps above)

If you didn't own Echo on your Oculus account before Echo was canceled, you need to check the next section (No license patch).

No License patch

  • It's important that you have your developer mode enabled on your Quest headset. Check here on how to do that here

  • Here you can install a personalized Echo version onto your Quest. Never share the APK file.

  • All steps are explained in the installer.

  • Run the game, but DO NOT press Restore if a pop-up offers the option. Press close or open instead. (If you restore by accident, you'll have to repeat steps above)
