Echo VR v63+ Installation Guide

📋 Prerequisites

  • 👪 Remove any additional accounts before you begin!
    • How to remove additional accounts
      Removing an account from a device will also remove that account's data from the device.
    1. Select Settings in the top right corner, then select Accounts
    2. Select Remove next to the account you wish to remove, then select Remove again to confirm.
  • 🔑 Make sure to turn off your Quest password, you can add it back once you're done
  • 🗑️ If you previously owned Echo VR, install it from your library then uninstall it!
  • 👓 Quest 2 or Quest 3 headset (Pro + Quest 1 not tested)
  • 🕵 Developer mode enabled
    How to enable Developer mode
    1. Go to this page and create a company, the name doesn't matter!
    2. In the Quest app, go to Settings > Your Headset > Developer Mode
    3. Toggle Developer Mode on
  • 💫 Join Echo VR Lounge Discord

    This server manages your account. Don't leave it after joining!

  • 💻 You don't need a computer for this installation!

    • But - if you do have a computer, I highly recommend using Marcel's installer, as it's much quicker and less complicated. You can find how to use it here!

⬇️ Downloads

Applications

Echo VR obb

If you didn't previously own Echo

      3. If you get a 404 error, remove your reaction on the server, then react again!

📼 Video Tutorial

All thanks to Stellar VR (thank you so so much), there is a new and improved installation video!

📥 Installing APKs

Or follow this guide (sorry about the quality I couldn't find any better ones)
  1. Download Mobile VR Station from the Quest store and open it
  2. Click on “Configuration Wizard” > “Show All Options” > “Configure Scoped Storage”
  3. Click on “Step 1: Request Access” (ignore that the button below is faded out!)
  4. At the top, click on the base directory
  5. Click on “Downloads”
  6. Click on the enlarge icon zoom_out_map on all the APKS then Continue and Install - clicking open doesn’t do anything!

    7. If it shows up,

    (NEVER CLICK ON RESTORE!!!!)

    Click on close instead!!

  7. Once they're all installed, click the X at the top right to close MVS

If the screen just dims, the buttons are still there! Try clicking about to find it yourself, and look at where I click in the video!

🔓 Enabling a second developer mode and using Shizuku to get root access

  1. Open Evolve Launcher
  2. Click on the bottom right button, then click on "Device Settings"
  3. Scroll down to About Phone, then spam “Build Number” at the bottom until you become a developer!

    4. If you're sent to the previous screen / it doesn't work, turn off your Quest password and restart your headset then try again!

  4. Go to the previous menu and click on “System” then “Developer Options”.
  5. Scroll down and turn on USB Debugging if it’s off, then turn on Wireless Debugging below it and click on the text.
  6. Put this tab into split screen and open Shizuku

    7. To use splitscreen, make sure you're not in an application and you're using the cursor rather than physically touching it!

  7. Click “Pairing” in Shizuku, then enter the code on the second screen after clicking "Pair device with pairing code" in Evolve.
  8. Once they're paired, click Start!
  9. You’re now able to access root files! Try to keep Shizuku open (although don't worry if it's a pain, it's not the end of the world if they get minimised, just don't click the X and reopen it!) and move on to the next step :)

🚚 Move the OBB File

  1. Open ZArchiver while keeping Shizuku open and allow file access
  2. Click on settings at the top right, then ROOT, click on the first option and set it to “Shizuku”, then turn on all the toggles after that!
  3. Once it's done installing, hold down on the com.readyatdawn.r15.obb file and click copy
  4. Click on the top file named ".." and go back to your home directory, then navigate to “Android” > “obb”
    5. (Don't use the back button at the top, it will clear your selection)

  5. A prompt should pop up in Shizuku, click on Allow, then click on "obb" in ZArchiver again.
  6. Create the folder "com.readyatdawn.r15", then go inside it and click on the paste button in the bottom right (even if it says access denied)

    Make sure to name it exactly com.readyatdawn.r15 , otherwise it won't work!

  7. You should have successfully set up Echo VR!

🥳 Launch Echo VR

Launch Echo VR from Evolve Launcher

You may get a prompt that says Open, Restore or Cancel.
Click on "Open", never restore! If Open doesn't exist, click on Cancel and try opening it again.

(Basically, NEVER CLICK ON 'Restore'!!!!)

(or else, you'll have to go all the way back to Installing APKs)

🔗 Linking your headset

Once you log in, you will see a "Login failed" screen with a code.

  1. Go to #command-central in the Echo VR Lounge
  2. Type /link and click on the command that shows up (if you're on a Quest, click off and back on the textbox), then enter your code!

  3. Once it's successfully linked, restart Echo and hit play!

You can watch Xero's much more in-depth video here :)

Welcome to Echo, have fun! Please be kind 😊

If it crashes for you, try force quitting it, by either holding down on Echo in Evolve Launcher, then clicking the info button, then “Force Quit” or restarting your quest. If it continues crashing, try moving the OBB file again, and if it still crashes, reinstall the APK and start from the beginning!
