Lighthouse TX HTC 2.0 Calibration Rescue — write-up

Overview

Device / file: lighthouse-tx-htc-2-0-calibration-rescue-244.bin
Purpose: Recover and restore correct calibration data and firmware on Lighthouse TX (HTC 2.0) after corrupted or missing calibration partition; produce a validated, repeatable rescue procedure.

  1. Place the rescued base station in mode “A” (channel 1) and another working base station in mode “B” (channel 2).
  2. Open SteamVR → Developer Settings → “Room Overview” → “Calibrate Base Station”.
  3. Follow the on‑screen pattern (usually covering the front with a cloth, then removing it).
  4. SteamVR will measure motor PPM (pulses per minute) and IR LED timings. This process can take 10–15 minutes.

Final Flash: After the rescue, repeat the process using the standard firmware file (e.g., lighthouse_tx_htc_2_0-244-2016-03-12.bin) to return the unit to normal operation. Lighthouse does not power on after firmware update lighthouse-tx-htc-2-0-calibration-rescue-244.bin

This file acts as a "rescue" tool to re-establish factory-level calibration or clear persistent hardware errors that standard SteamVR updates cannot resolve. Target Device: Specifically for the SteamVR Base Station 2.0 (often identified by its curved front face). Issue Addressed: Lighthouse TX HTC 2
