To provide you more detailed instruction, you can also click ASUS Youtube video link below to know more about ["WARNING! BIOS Recovery mode has been detected" message is displayed Processing method of abnormal boot]
Note: It may be interrupted while updating the BIOS, or the BIOS may be lost or damaged when the power is removed, and when the system cannot boot normally and enter the BIOS screen. You can use the rescue function CrashFree BIOS 3 program in the motherboard to recover the BIOS.
Note: The BIOS version on the motherboard support DVD may be older than the BIOS version on the official website. If you want to use the latest BIOS version, please download it from the ASUS Download Center and use the USB flash drive recovery method to update.
For example: Prime X299 Edition 30 models, the message WARNING! BIOS Recovery mode has been detected is displayed as follows, you can refer to the "X299E3.CAP" name in the error message as the update option (you can use the keyboard or mouse to click)
I have been attempting to Enable Legacy boot and Disable Secure boot on this machine for a few days now. My current BIOS version is N01 2.05 11/11/2015. It is the oddest thing. I am able to make some changes, save and have them succesfully change...but I cannot get legacy to enable and save. Steps I have taken:
I am attempting to get these machines to PXE boot to grab our school district's image, but I need Legacy boot enabled to do it. After several attempts to get Legacy to enable I resolved to just use our Win7 Ent disk BUT can't do that as well as it says the "selected boot image did not authenticate." Of course the fix I found for this was enable Legacy Boot....which I can't do.
Again, this is very similar to the process I tried in the begining the only difference was the amount of reboots it took to get it accomplished. I did have a similar issue with another 800 G2 and no matter what I did it would not PXE boot so I rolled the bios version back to 02.04, restored factory settings and did the process I just oultined above. AND IT WORKED on that machine. It is an inconsistant issue we are having with the 50 or so 800 G2s our district purchased this last month.
I am not sure if you noticed on a reboot after changing enable legacy... there is a message to type the code. If you had typed the code and enter on that reboot, it should have worked. I myself did not read the code prompt until I had started to follow your steps. I only had to do the one change and enter the code but I read the screen this time to see that it was there.
Thanks Rambling-Jack!
My issue was after "enable legacy boot..." I was attempting to use the number pad w/out enabling it with the number lock key... You can also use the number keys on your top horizontol row of keyboard - you can tell the number key input is working becuase the numbers will display on the bios screen.
That is exactly what was happening for me too. The numlock key turns back off after saving the BIOS Secure Boot setting to Legacy, then saving and exiting BIOS. The numlock turns off, and when prompted to enter the Secure Boot code, you're thinking that you have entered the code, but you really haven't.
You should actually see the secure code parroted on the screen as you type it, if you don't see this happening, check your numlock. The steps given above on the change process work, if you make sure to turn numlock back on. At least it did for me.
Thanks much! Hitting F10 when in the Secure Boot Configuration enabled the Legacy Support and boot without UEFI. That was quite frustrating. I should have clicked the Help button as it does state "F10 Exit with Option to Save" so now I know what that means.
Essentially the issue is that when connecting with a USB 2.0 connection, the link is completely stable, it reliably connects for several hours and even if the headset is removed and left to "sleep", it reawakens and is still successfully connected (team events in iRacing if you're asking). When using USB 3.0 however, the exact opposite is true, generally speaking in the best case scenario, when keeping the headset awake the whole time, I can sometimes get an hour before a disconnect, however, nearly every time it goes to sleep, it disconnects and sometimes the connection will be lost within minutes of launching with no explanation.
For a bit of history, over the course of trying to find a solution to this issue I have: Used a USB A-C 3.0 cable, 2x USB C-C 3.0 cables (including Oculus' own), a USB A-C 2.0 cable, a USB C-C 2.0 cable, replaced my PC's motherboard with a Asus Prime Z-390A, so I would like to think this firmly rules out the frequently posed "solutions" such as better quality cables or using different ports. I have also tried resetting experimental features as I read that sometimes causes issues but this didn't have an effect, nor has making sure that video drivers and my motherboards firmware are up to date, disabled legacy USB support in my bios settings or ensuring there is no power saving settings activated on USB ports.
The most frustrating part of all is that recently I did a factory reset of the headset 'cause I couldn't think of any other fix and seemingly this finally gave me a stable USB 3.0 connection using the official cable, which not only lasted until I disconnected it (several hours), but also through cycles of sleeping and waking the headset. I then didn't play for a week and Oculus app version 38.0.0.51.727 (38.0.0.51.727) / headset version 38.0.0.63.727.351486028 installed themselves and now I'm back to the same problem of 3.0 not working and 2.0 being absolutely fine, the factory reset and experimental features reset has not had an effect this time.
To be clear, there have been no hardware changes at this time so given it did work as intended previously, it has nothing to do with cable quality or any mechanical issue. Any other insight of fixes that I have not yet tried would be appreciated, although mostly an indication that this is being sincerely looked into as a known issue not just brushed off as an outlier. Please let me know if you need any additional information and I'll post when I can.

I tried to install the latest oculus driver following your instructions, but I don't get any notification or message about the driver has been updated / not. And when I tried to use the oculus link cable with type c-c (USB 3), it still randomly disconnect (within minutes, sometimes 5, 10 or every 20 minutes), while using cable type a-c (USB 2), it is stable for hours of playing.
How do I know if my oculus driver has been updated? Anywhere to check the status/version? Or does "oculus driver version" basically means "Oculus app version" ?
And does that mean for the USB 3 to be running stable, the Oculus App and Headset version must exactly match?
Anyways I SOMEHOW managed to fix this for myself magically and it's the most stupid thing yet. IT DOESN'T EVEN INVOLVE THE SOFTWARE. So forget drivers forget anything (Actually maybe don't if anyone has that issue.
For me, the USB 3.0 worked for a long time for me and magically became 2.0 after like a few days ago. Now I decided to play with the cable see if it will tick anything (btw for reference I'm using a KIWI cable) After the 2.0 connected I took out the big one that goes into the computer and back in. Turns out the quest doesn't connect unless the one connected to the computer is plugged in first. After that put in the USB C in the quest and boom. It turned into 3.1 gen 1. It seems the quest has a major software issue and just meddling with the cables connecting sequence seems to tick the 3.0 mode back on.
PS: When I flipped the USB over too it seemed to connect to the 3.0 mode aswell. So flipping the cable does work and it's more effective, but doing my sequence above makes it so the 3.0 works in it's correct spot if it's a sideway cable.
Hi Jonny, I too am having USB3 connection problems. Up until 2 days ago it worked fine. I tried reloading the driver as you suggested. It worked for about 5 mins before it came up with USB2 connected. I'm wondering if this is a Windows 10 update problem? I tried different ports and opting in and out of beta test channel, but that hasn't worked either. I will try reversing the USB plug as suggested. To get round it I managed to get the airlink to work. But I get better performance on the cable.
Hey, I've recently discovered this linking issue but I can't seem to find a work around even tried your unplug and plug back in method and it's the same thing, what could really be causing this as my usb isn't damaged and came with my package
