How I Removed Demo Mode from a VIVO V50 – True Story + Easy DIY Guide
Just a few days back, a customer dropped by my modest repair shop holding a shiny new VIVO V50. He looked frustrated and said,
“Bhaiya, phone bilkul naya hai, par kuch bhi install nahi ho raha… sab kuch locked hai.”
(Translation: “Bro, the phone’s brand new, but nothing installs. Everything’s locked.”)
Right away, I noticed a giveaway sign — the word “Demo” was clearly visible on the top-right corner of the screen. It was a retail demo unit, the kind used in store displays.
Here’s exactly how I unlocked it — and how you can too.
🛑 Step 1: Check for Demo Mode
First, check if your phone is actually in demo mode.
🔍 Look at the status bar — do you see the word “Demo”?
- ✅ Yes: You’re in demo mode, continue with the steps.
- ❌ No: This guide doesn’t apply — your issue may be different.
🔍 Step 2: Find the “Demo Switch” App
Many VIVO demo phones come with a built-in app called “Demo Switch.”
Here’s what I did:
- I launched the Demo Switch app on the customer’s phone.
- It asked for a password.
- I entered V501705.
💥 And just like that — demo mode disappeared. The phone was fully functional again!
💡 What If “Demo Switch” Isn’t There?
No worries. If you can’t find the app:
- Use a QR code from the original display box or from VIVO support to download the Demo Switch APK.
- Install the APK.
- Open it and enter the same code: V501705.
That’s it!
✅ No data loss
✅ No flashing
✅ No computer needed
⚠️ Important Warning:
This method is only for the VIVO V50.
Do not try it on other models like the VIVO Y series or IQOO devices.
You might mess up the system or lose functionality.
👍 Why This Method Works So Well
- ✅ Super fast — done in under 2 minutes
- ✅ No PC, no cables
- ✅ No flashing or complex tools
- ✅ Safe — doesn’t brick the phone or erase data
Final Word:
If you’ve got a demo-locked VIVO V50 in your hands, this simple code can unlock it like magic. I’ve done it myself — now you can too.
