Sold A Demo Phone

[TheWaxPoeticSpe]

I was sold a demo phone and need to know how to work around it as I can't return it.  The demo video will not turn off and I've tried everything.  I've also looked in the legal and it said demo only...HELP.  Bought while on vacation abroad....

Check the xda forum, you might be able to flash a custom ROM

You should contact your seller,Sony won't offer international warranty if the device was bought abroad.

I don't know if it'll work but try this.

Try that

Awesome!  Thank you!  I had a feeling this was the solution.  I was considering reimaging.  But that seemed weak.

Now, will rooting put a custom OS on?
