How to Remove Demo Mode from an OPPO Phone (Retail Mode)

Demo Mode (often called "Retail Mode" or "Showroom Mode") is a software setting enabled on display units in stores. It loops videos, restricts settings, and prevents normal use. If you have accidentally enabled it or purchased a former display unit, here is how to disable it.

Method 3: Hard Reset via Recovery Mode (When All Else Fails)

If the phone is stuck in a loop that blocks both Settings and the dialer, you must force the phone into Recovery Mode to wipe the partition that holds demo mode data.

Warning: This erases all data on the phone. Since it’s a demo unit, you likely have no personal files to lose.

Step-by-step:

  1. Power off the phone – Hold the power button for 10–15 seconds. If the screen is frozen, press and hold Power + Volume Up for 20 seconds.

  2. Boot into Recovery Mode – Press and hold Power + Volume Down simultaneously. When the OPPO logo appears, release the Power button but keep holding Volume Down until you see a menu with Chinese or English text.

  3. Navigate using volume keys – Use Volume Up/Down to scroll and the Power button to select.

  4. Select “English” if the menu appears in Chinese. Here’s a clear, helpful content piece you can

  5. Choose “Wipe data / Factory reset” – Then select “Format data” or “Clear all data”.

  6. Confirm – Type yes if prompted, then press the Power button.

  7. After wiping, select “Reboot system now”.

  8. The phone should restart as a normal, non-demo unit – You will see the standard Android setup screen. Bonus: Remove Demo Mode Using PC Software (Advanced)

What if Recovery Mode is also locked?
Some aggressive demo builds disable recovery access. In that case, you need a PC and OPPO’s flashing tool (see Bonus section below).

Q: The code *#899# doesn't do anything. What now?

A: If the dialer code fails, it means the Retail Mode software is blocking access to the Engineer Menu. In this case, you will need to perform a Hard Reset (Method 3) to wipe the device completely.
