Facebook has released an unlocked operating system build that allows full root access for the Oculus Go headset, as John Carmack shared last month. The guide on the Oculus Dev site contains the necessary technical information to gain full access to the Oculus OS on the Oculus Go device.

The device, which went on sale in May 2018, attracted a lot of attention at the time but received a lot of criticism regarding its screen resolution. Meanwhile, an important reminder: It is worth noting that once you unlock the device for root access, you will no longer receive official updates via OTA, and you do not have the option to reverse this process.

You can access the announcement and more detailed information from the relevant post on the developer blog.
