Microsoft has updated the Xbox App for Android to a newer version than the version provided by the Oculus store during the Minecraft VR install. If that version is present before minecraft vr install it is impossible to login to xbox live within Minecraft VR. The version included from the oculus store will only work one or two times before it will fail requiring noticing it needs a newer version at which point xbox live login will fail again.

I finally fixed logging into xbox. I went into game folder and deleted every file and folder EXEPT minecraftWorlds folder and my custom.pngs. It's a conflict with normal version minecraft. I think it's fixed but your older installs don't change the broken file(s). After deleting, start the vr version FIRST. Login to xbox. You dont not need to remove phone. Then you can start the normal version. As for controllers 360 xbox controllers don't work. I only got a bluetooth official xbox one controller to work 100%.
