If your phone is Demo Phone (if that's what you mean) hard reset wont help you. It will install the same demo program (os).
Power + Volume Up =Hard Reset

Flash of firmware using recovery tool should take care of it?

I never used recovery tool and don't know what it can and can't do exactly. So, it might help and might not as well. Why do you have Demo phone anyway?

It's not me... I was suggesting that flashing the factory software should get rid of whatever it is.

I recall someone else in the forums had the same issue with a phone ending up in demo mode, cant for the life of me think how they fixed it but if you look the answer is in our forum somewhere
