My Update Loop Workaround

I'm running a S9+ / Android 10 / Gear VR. The update of course bricked my VR so I was foolish and formatted my phone and tried to reinstall everything. The problem is half the packages are missing from the server so I managed to get into my samsung cloud backup and get the missing packages. Still no luck as it still prompted me to update the "oculus media plugin (0.0MB)" I tried to install and it of course returned a "Network error occurred. Try again later." So I downloaded an old APK of the plugin at https://oculus-media-plugin.en.uptodown.com/android. I then installed that and turned off my wifi and it worked. I then turned on the wifi because I use oculus browser in the VR environment and it immediately was bricked again. I reinstalled the plug in got it working downloaded glass wire and seen that "oculus app runtime" called out to the server and bricked the VR again with the update loop. I already have an elite glasswire subscription on PC so I just bought the pro on mobile for $5 a year and blocked all the VR apps, services, etc from calling home except for oculus browser. So far so good. Hope this helps.
