The other day I got the MM update and decided to force install the VR software to see if I could without the VR. It worked and i could browse the store, so it piqued my intreset.
Today I grabbed a spare Gear VR from a family member and took it home tonstart messing with it. I already knew a non Inovator Edition would not work with my GN4, but I wanted to see for myself why.
After looking at it and seeing how close it is to fitting, and confirming that the usb connector fits in and triggers the VR system to work, I started to look over the system closer to see how I could make it work and try to keep it as clean as possible without using my Dremmel.
Turns out its really easy to make it fit-ish (but enough).
Flip up the usb tab and there are 2x phillips screws. Remove them to pull the plate holding the usb connector in the clip. Slide off the plastic cover and youll see the usb has a thin ribbon attached that is long enough to pull out of the clip completely while still staying attached.
Now all you need is to take a flathead and on the bottom side of the clip, pry it out of the VR headset. Its held in with pegs on each end. The top peg is longer and connected to a spring, so you want to pull the bottom peg out first. Once the bottom one is out, you will need to pull with a little force to separate the top peg from the spring. Make sure to not damage the usb ribbon.
Now the same on the other side, but pry the top peg out first. Once the 2 pegs are out, youll have a long spring attached to the botttom of the clip that can be release by 2 more small phillips screws.
Now your done! Plug in the usb to your GN4 and place the smoaked plastic cover over your phone to hold it in place. I was able to watch the GoT intro VR video and browse the VR web before my batty died.
Obviously this will void any warranty and you risk damage to your VR.
Have fun!
