Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Magic Leap 1 that was factory reset and is now stuck at:

“Sign in to Magic Leap ID”

Magic Leap Support confirmed that the authentication service is permanently shut down, so there is no official way to complete setup.

The hardware itself works normally:

• Lightpack boots
• Display and controller work
• Wi-Fi works
• Windows detects the device
• USB ID: VID_2C55 / PID_A100

I’m now looking for any archived Magic Leap 1 development or firmware files, especially:

• Lumin OS 0.98.35
• Lumin OS 0.98.33
• MLSDK / Lumin SDK
• mldb.exe
• The Lab packages
• Recovery / firmware images
• Old documentation related to OOBE, MLDB, Home, or Helio

I’m especially interested in this archived build if anyone still has it:

Lumin-OS-0.98.35-ML1-D-GB31U0D00616-B-A4D.220708.01.zip

My goal is research and static analysis on my own device. I’m not planning to flash another device’s image directly.

If anyone still has an old archive, checksum, mirror, or working download link, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I recently acquired a factory-reset Magic Leap 1.

The hardware works, but setup stops at “Sign in to Magic Leap ID”. Magic Leap Support confirmed that the authentication service has been shut down and there is no official way to complete setup.

I’m researching whether there is any way to reuse the device offline, ideally just to access Home / Helio or use it as a simple display.

Has anyone here successfully recovered or continued using a factory-reset ML1 after the service shutdown?

I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone who worked with the old Lumin OS / MLSDK tools or preserved documentation from before EOL.

This is only for research on my own device.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

As the title says, I’m interested in purchasing a used/ new Leap 2 as long as it’s fully functional and not locked.

Feel free to reach out to discuss further details.

It's expensive, but for the right collector, probably worth it. These things are RARE.

I got a personal copy years ago, so if anyone would like me to share some pictures of mine, i could probably be convinced.

Hey all, I have a project that requires magic leap 2s

Preferably new, but I don't mind taking refurbished (used) editions

Please reach out

What is everyone expecting on the 8th anniversary of the company's first launch?

Is there anything in XR worth celebrating on this anniversary?

Anyone here doing Loom outreach?

I used to record a lot of Loom videos for a company part-time (stopped about 4 months ago), and I’m thinking of getting back into it again.

Would love to collaborate or experiment with someone who’s already doing it or wants to test it out.

Note: I’m from India, so I have an Indian accent.

Location: 1376 Bordeaux Dr. Sunnyvale CA 94089

Date effective: October 1st

Any old Leapers headed to LA next week? I'll be in the 4DViews booth, slinging Volumetric Capture stages. Come say hi!

Hey everyone! I just received an offer to interview with Magic Leap in ATX, anyone have any prior experience interviewing with the company? It’ll be for an associate engineering role.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to purchase Magic Leap 2 units.

Happy to consider:
