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.

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!
Need your help

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!

Hi, did someone succesfully install the new Nokia Camera Extras? If yes, how did you do it, because I installed the last Tango firmware on my Lumia 800 but I don't find the Extras anywhere.
Thanks for help :cyclops:
hi

we have to wait...

I was able to scan the QR codes at http://www.wpcentral.com/nokias-camera-extras-play-now-available-lumia-windows-phones and install the camera extras.
I believe it was initially available in India, China and US only (not sure if they have extended the rollout since then)

Thanks for the link! I could open the app in Market but because of my region it couldnt be installed.
Hello guys, I've got Nokia Lumia 920 from China with my friend's help. I was unable to install facebook, youtube & most of the apps, it just keeps on saying that this app is not available in your region though all those apps works in my friend's Lumia 800...
later i came to know that my phone is RM-822...
so can i do anything for this, to make it normal as other phones which r compatible to all apps...
may be debranding or changing RM numbers or product code stuff ?..
Have you tried changing the country/region setting to US?
What country is the Microsoft account you're using with the phone from?
lumia rm822

No solution yet
It's probably because facebook and youtube are banned in China. So phones targeted for the Chinese market can't have those apps. maybe you can try to flash your phone with a RM821 firmware and maybe that will solve the problem..

is that possible to flash with RM-821 firmware. i think, phone will be not work ...someone in china have a try...：哭：
The Lumia 920T from China uses a different SoC with a different GPU than the US/EU-Versions (RM-820, RM-821) because it was the only Qualcomm Chip available that supports the Chinese 3G variant. Based on that I'm pretty sure that international ROMs will not work.

This might get it done but I'm not sure if rm-822 will support rm-821 firmware. Flash at your own risk. Seems like with this method you could always re-flash to rm-822 if it didn't work though. Good luck!

Sent from my Lumia920 using Foroplex
It works!
I have downloaded the Vietnam firmware onto my RM-822 product code: 059T066, had to do the hold down power and volume down buttons to get Nokia Care to flash but it has worked and now can access the UK store and Skype, Facebook etc. :laugh:

Does anyone know how to modify the rom to allow a marketplace other than China? I have not been able to flash any European or US rom because it seems there are some hardware differences, thus is there any way to alter the firmware?
Greetings, 'lucky' new wp 7.8 user here.
BUT
as far as i know Bluetooth Share and Ringtone maker should have gotten support with the 7.8 update.
My problem is, if i go to those apps in the marketplace by a QR code, tells me 'it's not available for your phone'
The only weird thing i noticed is the app names on the market are translated to hungarian (i use the phone in Hungary), can the problem be related to the translation? Is there a way to install these two apps on a locked device (nokia dload)?
Thank you in advance.

yes, i did find those links aswell, problem is:
App not available on the Web. Try downloading on your phone.
you can't 'push' install them sadly
When I installed 7.8 on my lumia 800 using Navifirm and Nokia Care Suit, Bluetooth Share and Ringtone Maker got installed by default. I didn`t had to install them separately.

Scan these codes with your phone:
Write these links into your phone IE (or find QR generator website and convert links to QR code and then scan with your phone)

Hello guys!
Does anybody have the H960YK model?
I really need the stock KDZ for this phone, searched google but did not find anything.
The problem is that my phone had operator firmware (V10A-425-02) and when I connected it to LG Bridge my phone updated to another firmware version (V10l-425-02) and now every time I reboot the phone I receive the next message when it boots:
" WARNING! current version is not available for user. Cant find matched cust for NT code mcc/mnc[42502], subset[ff]" What does it mean???
The Phone is working fine but the massage is annoying! I found that the massage somehow connected to the operator firmware but I dont know how to solve this, did not find any solution in the forums....
My device is not unlocked or rooted.
Please help!
Found this: How can I download the file? I tried to register but no success
