Restoring Haven 2025
The no-root spoof has the same package id as Meta's Haven 2025 but is signed with our debug certificate, not Meta's. Android refuses to update a package in place when the signing certificate changes, so the original Haven 2025 must be uninstalled before the spoof can be installed.
The converter does this in a safe order so you can always get back to stock:
-
Detect the installed original (
pm path com.meta.shell.env.footprint.haven2025). -
Back it up first — pulls the real APK to a clearly-named folder
Haven2025_Backup/beside the exe (with aHOW_TO_RESTORE.txt). Taken once and never overwritten (a later backup would just save the spoof). The tool prints the folder path. - Warn that the original must be uninstalled (certificate mismatch).
- Uninstall the original — only if the backup succeeded. If the backup fails, the tool aborts and leaves Haven 2025 untouched.
- Install the spoof.
- Restore option is always available (below).
Easiest — built in:
"Quest Home Editor.exe" --restore-haven
or click "Restore original Haven 2025" in the Cook tab. Both reinstall the backed-up original from
Haven2025_Backup/ and relaunch the shell.
Manual equivalent:
adb install -r -d "Haven2025_Backup/haven2025_ORIGINAL_backup.apk"
adb shell kill $(adb shell pidof com.oculus.vrshell)
Haven 2025 is Meta-provided content, so you can usually get it back without the backup:
- On the headset, open Settings → Physical Space / Environment (Home environment) and re-select / re-download Haven 2025 — Quest re-fetches official home environments from Meta.
- If your firmware doesn't expose a re-download, a factory reset restores the stock homes (last resort).
There is no guarantee every firmware lets you re-download a specific home, which is exactly why the
converter backs it up automatically — keep the Haven2025_Backup/ folder and you never need this.
No — not automatically. The spoof and the original share the same package id, and the safe flow fully uninstalled the original (it had to, because of the certificate mismatch). Uninstalling the spoof just removes that package; nothing restores the original on its own. To get Haven 2025 back you must either:
-
"Quest Home Editor.exe" --restore-haven(reinstall the backup), or - re-download it from the headset's environment settings (see question 1).
Nuance: if Haven 2025 had been a preinstalled system home, removing a user update would normally revert to the system copy — but a downloadable home has no system fallback, and our flow uninstalls it outright, so always rely on the backup (or re-download), not on auto-restore.
If Haven 2025 is a non-removable system app on your headset, the backup pull or the uninstall may
require root. In that case use the Rooted-System APK instead (it keeps your env under its own
package and never touches Haven 2025), or factory-reset to restore the stock home.
