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
Try to flash an original rom into it
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.

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!

You already have one ATF box and testpoint.
There is no way to replace the bootloader without one that is signed or via testpoint. (Same as with 2011 Sony Ericsson's)
Even if you managed to get interop unlock or full unlock you won't be able to replace the bootloader from that.

Its 100% possible, though it will cost a lot of time and skills. The hardware is not diffrent then hardware used in Android Phones.
There are people working on a port of HaRET, back in the days of Windows Mobile this software was used to boot into linux/android from wm. Topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22229756
@crimpy1 is it hard to find such a shop? Do they all use ATF or just some?
I looked on ebay but the ATF device is just to expensif.

Hi Guys,
I yesterday updated my LUMIA 800 to 7.8 via Nuviflash Latest Release and as the title suggests it is blocked again saying "This SIM Card can only perform on certain networks and bla bla bla...". Before that I did TP unlock my device and was told that It wont be blocked again. It is now blocked again, I restored the previous ROM as well but no luck. Any suggestions on that other than again going trough the entire TP Unlock.
Thanks.
Poor U, me too. It's because you're using a network locked phone not world version.
If you know your phone is belong what network provider (AT&T, T-Mobile, ...) you can buy a unlock code to unlock your phone in to world version and use it

I have the same problem with my lumia. I updated to 7.8 and the phone relocked. it was bought through the web and was regularly unlocked from SFR before but now they don't want to send me the code. Could you guide me to any solution please ? where can I buy a working unlock code ?
Thanks in advance.
oh god
Oh god i have the same problem!
I didn't even knew my phone was locked... I bought it from some guy, with DLOAD bootloader, and unlocked and the guy told me it was world wide version.
So because of the DLOAD i belived him.
Now after updating to 7.8 it locked !
Guys, what can i do, can i go to nokia service center and pay for unlocking for example ?!
I don't know from where is my phone actually, i bought it with HK software on it, so i presume it's somewhere in HK...
I'm open to any ideas, because i dont have another phone and i'm dead :crying:
Edit: I tryed to track it a bit with the IMEI, so it starts with 3516820 which leads me to Telia - Sweden ... And they want 75$ for the code, this is madness !

Hi,
The TP unlock is patch-unlock. So, if you will flash to stock ROM phone will be locked again...
Now you need to unlock again via TP unlock obviously!

Hi,
Boot-loader could be changed with ATF Box via TP. It can change boot-loader to DLOAD/QUALCOMM.
So, you probaly had an unlocked phone by ATF Box and after they changed boot-loader OSBL DLOAD
also, just to make you think its pre-unlocked. Better to buy 75$ codes - get it unlock by ATF Box with TP.

thank you!

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of flashing 7.8 on my DLOAD Lumia 800 and this kinda worried me.
My phone was locked to Vodafone Spain, but the previous owner got it sim-unlocked (in June 2012) before selling it to me. I don't know what method they used but I should be fine because the TP/ATF method you're talking about is relatively new, right ?
Otherwise, is there a way to tell which type of unlock I have before updating to 7.8 ?

Which is strange, because mine was bought in july so it couldn't be unlocked trough TP, maybe the guy bought a unlocking key.
But since i can't connect to the guy again i'll have to spend 25 Eu every time when microsoft releases an update for TP unlocking. I better sell my Lumia when i unlock it... :crying:

Hi,
Ask provider before buying codes, that if it will lock again if I flash
my phone. If they say - it will, then ask if I could use the same code
to re-activate my phone or not.
Hope this helps.

Can you tell me something about stock ROM ? I mean even if I update my device via zune (official update) it would lock again ?
Update
Hi,
If you update with Zune the mobile will not be lock. I did it las time with mine and didn't get lock. Also if you update using the file .xap neither will get lock the mobile.
Mobile get lock only when you update it by Flashing a room.
Anyway after you flash your mobile it can be unlocked with the unlock code you used last time if you still have it.

Hi! I have a Nokia Lumia 800 and I want to unlock it but I still have some questions, I think they are stupid but I am not able to find them on the Interner. I have already checked and I have a Qualcomm bootloader, so I should be able to full unlock my phone, and I was thinking on installing Raimbow Mod or something like that, but I have read that if you flash your Lumia 800 using NSS your Windows Live ID will get flashed too and you won´t be able to use it. Is that true? How can I prevent or fix that problem? Thank you very much!

Hi,
About Windows live ID, I'm NOT sure. But one thing I am sure is that
if you will flash your to official rom, then you will loose QUALCOMM boot-loader,
and therefore, you will NOT be able to install ANY custom/modded rom on your
phone
BR
Yep you cant use live id but is easy to solve that .
Just ask for activation code to microsoft and they will send you .

Hi all,
Is there any way to unsimlock a Lumia 800, knowing that the material version number is: 112.1402.2.4.
I've heard it was impossible some time ago... The only way was to use a ATF box to flash qualcomm bootloader, right?!
I would like to flash it to a custom ROM as well to get it fully unlock, but my first point is to unsimlock.
Do you think it is possible?
Thank you guys
Without qualcomm , cant sim unlock.
So if you want to do the hardware mod..look in the dev section here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587650 there are couple of posts with links
Ok, thanks for your input.
Exactly what i thought, only hardware mod...
Do you know if cell shops with ATF box are very common?
