Adding demo content to the phone?

---

Hi, I just bought a HTC Radar and when I was doing the factory reset, it shows the following text:

"we are adding demo content to the phone, this process will take a few minutes and cannot be interrupted"

Is this normal? What demo content?

OEM Apps I guess.

I dunno, I have "updates" in my People hub and texts in my messages already. And after I plug the phone in for a while it begins to show some WP7 animation on the screen.

Sounds like you got a stollen Demo phone then from a store.

I was afraid of that. I guess I'll have to contact ebay and see if I can get my money back

You can reflash it but yeah you have hot merch.

The seller on ebay replied to me. He said I have to download zune software and then connect the phone to my computer. Then I can register my account on the phone and set it up.

Is that something you do w/ all windows phones or just gen 1 devices? I thought gen 2 phones can receive updates wirelessly?

No you have to use Zune. Go ahead and try that and see if it works if not then reply back.

Hi. I have the same problem. Phone is a demo version and keeps bringing up the same message and re-setting the phone to its original demo state.

I've downloaded Zune but can't really work out what I am supposed to do in there once the program is installed?? Any ideas??

Failing that... how do I "flash" the phone?

Thanks!

There are multiple tutorials on how to flash your phone with an FFU or an nbh. Search in the fourms for them
