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.

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!

Your developer edition 920 is the exact same model as the Rogers one.
Flash the Rogers Firmware, you should be fine, only negative thing is that you are gonna get the Rogers Logo on boot and a Rogers App in the phone which you can simply uninstall.
Once the developer edition clean firmware hits the servers, you can re-flash.
That's your only solution for now.

Did you figure this out? I have a developer edition 920, and want the Portico update, but am worried because the original firmware is still not on there, nor is the updated firmware. I thought about flashing to a Rogers firmware in order to get the update, but I'm worried it will simlock it (I use t-mobile USA). Thanks!

You aren't using that Dev phone to develop on, are you...
The Rogers firmware will not SIM lock your phone to Rogers. May I humbly suggest you do some light reading on how SIM locks work?

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?

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!

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.

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.

For anyone interested, the update works perfectly, it is a French versión but you can change the language later.
I link Glance very much... but my surprise was that when I was installing my applications I browsed the Store and I found something that I was waiting for... LINADA GET, an application that let me download music from my NAS into the WP8 music library.

you can download it via NCS and product support tool 5.0 within NCS. just download the right one for your serial number, every phone region has its own product code. it is in the sim card tray printed. something like "059R3S1" thats a vodafone german version of the white lumia 920 so you type in yours in the NCS product support tool 5.0. there is on top of the app an setting like tools -> firmware download, there you type in your product code and see if there is a newer version than your on the phone. if not then type in what stays in the first post on one of the two links... there is the product code for lumia 920 and 820 on both sites.

So i installed the Amber update with GDR2 firmware, but i have a question. All sites say that Nokia Pro Cam (from Lumia 1020) will come to 920/925 amber update. I only recieved the smart camera app, but not the pro camera app. Is it possible that they made a mistake and confused pro camera with smart camera, and nokia pro camera will not come to 920/925 devices?
