Warning

There is a risk of bricking your headset by jailbreaking it, while we've done our best to make sure the jailbreak is as safe as possible (in testing, we haven't seen any bricked or damaged hardware as a result of using the jailbreak utility normally), there is always risks with this kind of thing. Please do not paste random commands into the shell of the headset if you are unaware as to what they will do. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED OR DAMAGED HARDWARE THAT MAY HAPPEN OR OCCUR BY USAGE OF THIS UTILITY.

Note

The jailbreak is NOT PERSISTENT, this means that each time the headset is shut down (red LED on the headset), you will have to RUN THE JAILBREAK AGAIN when you power on the headset before launching SteamVR. We have plans in the future to make this more seamless, but for now, you will have to do this manually.
