Live Demo Unit?

[tonybuzz32000]

Hi guys, I've been offered a live demo unit thats fully active and demo disabled. Is it possible to flash a firmware from Sammymobile to remove the live demo logo on startup and possibly root?

I also have a Galaxy Note Pro ex-demo. I flashed a SM-P900 firmware from Sammobile with Odin and the device is now completely OK for regular use except for 3 things:

1- I can't delete the demo files that use up to more than 5 GB of the storage memory
2- The boot logo is still the Live Demo Unit logo
3- I can't perform a Factory data reset. Option is greyed out and if I try it at boot recovery (HOME+Vol UP+POWER), I receive an error message:
-- Warning ...
MDM does not allow factoryReset.
Phone will REBOOT automatically.

So I guess flashing the main firmware is not enough and the MDM firmware has to be flashed too, but I have no idea of where to find the correct one or how to flash it.

In short I can use the tablet normally as if it were a genuine Galaxy Note Pro WiFi except there is almost 6GB of space (maybe more) that I can't not use.

How is your tablet ? Did you try to flash with bootloader ?

Yes! it worked! everything works as in a regular Note Pro tablet except when I turn it on, it still shows the Live Demo logo, but everything else is fine, it even has downloaded a firmware update since then!
Thank you!!:good:

Did you flash with recovery or install on odin? And now what is write openning menu, live demo unit or samsung p 900? Thanks....

I used the link that Beut provided above and flashed it with Odin following the instructions in the refered thread.
It has been working without problems to date. Only difference from a genuine "for sale" tablet is the boot logo.:good:

As you can tell by my junior status to you JEDI warriors, I am new to this witch craft.
I have a note pro 12.2 p900 live demo unit.
It comes up with catalogue pics and apps and 're installs when once I restart tablet. It won't allow me to use my memory card frequently with movies but will apps. What can I do to get the demo off. Is there a step by step idiot guide somewhere

Download the firmware from here:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-pro/SM-P900/XAR/download/P900UES1CPL1/120031/

Power + Volume Down , then Volume Up will bring your tablet to Odin or Download Mode.
Instruction is on the download page, if you don't understand it, then watch Youtube videos how to use Odin to flash firmware
