:mad:

get one from ebay, only 10 quids lower than average price.
now the phone keeps stuck in demo mode .
basically i can not use facebook and i will see the demo flash again and again when charge the phone. also it may ask for resetting sometimes.

how to get rid of it ? the seller answer really slow and now it is chirstmas,
it is very hard to return for a quick refund now.



i was told some of HTC users met the same problem and solve it by renew the rom

anyone know where can i get one for nokia ?

any answer will help

thankyou and merry chirstmas

The Demo's are only put on there via Nokia themselves as there is no way to flash the software yourself, i know this because i deal with demo handsets, chances are you have a stolen handset my friend, as far as a i know there is no way to remove the demo content as it would be easily removed by customers in the shop, even if you do manage to find the demo content, you may even be prompted to enter an operator password, maybe not!?

See if theres an update for your phone, or try to find a task manager where you can switch off apps, but i'm guessing you won't be able to remove it and the update may even leave the demo content intact, i would personally speak with the seller if they're not co-operative then i would leave feedback reflecting that and maybe even speak with nokia themselves, being the good eggs that they are they may just give you a new one.

Alternatively you could brick the device and send it back to nokia claiming that it's a dead handset, you may / will need proof of purchase so again, speak with the seller and see what can be done, but if it's a hot handset then i'm afraid your **** out of luck on that one.

You may not need a receipt so maybe speak with an engineer first to see what can be done, it's a young phone so should theoretically be covered by some sort of warranty, worst case scenario is that it is stolen and nokia know about the phone, you send it off, they check on it and they retain it and your out of pocket.

Best case scenario, you speak with nokia, they exchange it for a new one, but i guess you'll have to take a risk to find that out.

Good luck m8.

Hi there , I've got the exact same problem since a few days. (new phone, bought on ebay , nothing but demo-mode even after the 3 button reset)

But I found this after several hours of searching...

It's all legal and all the programs are freeware.


Needed:

The flashprogram 90Mb : phoenixslayer.blogspot,com

The original OEM ROM Nokia Firmware Downloader : code.google,com/p/navifirmex/

in this Nokia Firmware Downloader: select option and choose server , then "Nokia Care Suit"

The Nokia Lumia 800 is found under the code name: RM-801 and there are 3 firmware releases.
'
The latest Nokia Lumia 800 version at this very moment is : 1600.2479.7740.11451
This also can be found in the list of Navifermex.

Select your country and download your OEM firmware automatically.
Note: it's large.. app. 435 Mb.

I haven't flashed my Lumia yet because , it's in the store for research. ( maybe it's a stolen phone or defective. this way I can nail the german seller , with help from ebay and paypal )

But hopefully I can help some people with their Demo Content Nokai Lumia 800 problem.

Good luck and hope to succeed.

Greeting from the Netherlands.

Huh?? That will only work on Symbian phones, surely...

EDIT: Nevermind, ignore this post. You can flash your phone that way :)

How to effectively debrand a Nokia Lumia

Hi everyone, I've just posted the solution to debrand (remove the "demo" content) a Lumia phone in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23487766&postcount=37
It's extremely easy! I just got this phone and went to knowing ZERO about Windows Phone, to finding the right programs and doing it without bricking!
This forum saved my life! XD
I hope this helps more people!

To remove the demo content you have to flash your device with a ROM from a device that has no demo content in it. You can use official Nokia ROMs (you get them with the NaviFirm program) or the unofficial ones that are posted around this forum (as I'm pretty noob on this, I went with the official ones)
Check my link above, where I describe the steps to do it, and provide an additional link to a step-by-step guide to download the ROMs with NaviFirm and flash with Nokia Care Suite.
Good luck!
