For Experienced Users Only
This method is for users who are comfortable with downloading and moving files around on the Quest device.
Before continuing, make sure you have met each of the following prerequisites:
- You have an Android device e.g. phone or tablet
- Developer Mode is enabled on your Android device - Samsung Guide
This method may be different depending on your device manufacturer
- Developer Mode is enabled on your Quest - Quest Guide
- A compatible USB cable for connecting between your Quest and Android devices
Ensure you have the correct connectors for each device (e.g. for most newer devices a USB-C to USB-C cable will suffice.)
- Install Bugjeager onto your Android device from the play store.
Bugjaeger Mobile ADB - USB OTG
- Launch Bugjeager on your Android device, and click accept to the prompt that appears.
- Connect your Quest directly to your Android device using a USB cable
- When prompted on your Android device, allow Bugjeager to handle your Quest device
- In your Quest headset, allow USB debugging on the prompt
- On your Android device, use a web browser to download an apk for a File Manager
- We recommend X-Plore by lonelycat, as it comes with a web-based file manager, FTP server capabilities, and directly supports .zip files.
- At the bottom of the X-Plore page, you can grab the
.apk where it says "Download Older Versions", or Download (v3.89) APK here
- Click the + icon at the top of Bugjeager to install your APK
- Choose Select APK File and then click OK
- If prompted, allow Bugjeager to access files on your device
- Find the APK file you just downloaded (should be in Downloads folder), and select it to install it onto your Quest
Your File Manager app should now be installed under "Unknown Sources" on your Quest Device!
