Stuck in Demo Mode??

[shoota13]

So I got this tablet of CL and it seems to be stuck in demo mode. Settings is blocked and the zDemo app is password protected. Does anyone know what to do here?

Have you tried booting the tablet into Recovery Mode and performing a Factory Reset?

I did think of trying that but I couldn't figure out how to boot into recovery mode. Can you tell me? Thanks for the reply.

you need to Hold Volume UP key and press Power key, and when you see the Sony logo on screen, release just the power button.. (keep pressing the volume up button)

To enter Recovery Mode and perform Factory Reset:
1. Begin with the tablet completely powered off (not in Sleep Mode).
2. Press and hold the VOLUME UP button.
3. Momentarily press the POWER button.
4. Release the VOLUME UP button when the Android System Recovery menu appears.
5. Press the VOLUME DOWN button twice to select "3. Reset to factory settings."
6. Press the POWER button.
7. At the next screen, repeatedly press VOLUME DOWN button until "Yes -- delete all user data" is selected.
8. Press the POWER button.
Factory Reset will be performed and the tablet will reboot into Normal Mode.

Sony xperia Z tablet stuck in demo mode

Hi,
I saw your post, but it was about 2 years ago. I just bought a Sony Xperia Z tablet, but it is stuck in demo mode, what can I please do to restore it factory settings. Does this same process you highlighted applies? Thank you

The post you are referring to is about the Sony Tablet S. Please read the Sony Xperia Tablet Z forum, then post your XTZ problem/questions there and I or someone else will try to provide you with a solution.
