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!

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!

Help me identify the model number of Chinese copies of the iPhone 5.

Hello Guys,
I got a Honor 9 on Black Friday and smart as I am, immediately went on to install a custom ROM, which I didn't manage to get running. I didn't know there are so many different models and I wonder how I could identify it. I bought it from amazon Germany and it says its model no 51091SPA on my purchase receipt but I cant translate that to which model this is and which firmware I have to download.
any help is appreciated
cheers

i managed to flash a stock rom but now the buttons beside the home button dont work
You should try to flash to correct rom on your phone. But before check out the model number under -> Settings -> About the Phone -> Model number
Hello, I'm trying to follow all the guides in here on how to unlock my Honor 5x but I'm blocked in the first steps because I can't register to get my Huawei Id. The register form has pre-selected Country China and doesn't allow me to change it. Any idea if there is a way to get the Huawei Id?
Thank you.
I had to use google translate and the Chinese website to do my unlocking over a year ago. I suspect that nothing has changed in that regard.
Hello everyone,
My phone was stolen last week in mexico city, and I baught a new one there at Walmart.
The phone (Huawei p20 lite) is issued to AT&T.
Now I'm back home (Israel) from the vacation, and when I enter my Israeli sim the phone requests a code.
I tried to contact at&t and tried using their form to request unlock but it doesnt recognize my IMEI, niether the mexican phone number.
Please help, I am able to root or install a stock rom if it will help, or any other instructions from you experts
Thanks alot
I think you need reBrand your device to your country. Look in xda in any Huawei Forum (actual Huawei-Family with OREO) for Help.
The Question is : have p20 lite for your country different Hardware (LTE-Bands ...) ?
Question 2 : have you the know how to do this ? It is not simple but it is very simple to brick the device !
Hey, thanks for your reply
The LTE frequency do match the ones in my country so that is not the issue if you are asking.
I have never done this on this phone, but if I find a guide that explains it step by step it would not be a problem.
