The word "Demo" is visible in the center of the screen in a big red font at all times. It is there even when you play games or go to Play Store. The tablet is not a floor model nor in demo mode.

How do I remove the "Demo" text from the device screen?

    After further research (1, 2), some managed to solve this by upgrading the firmware/installing stock/custom ROM. However, we need more info to solve this specific issue. – Andrew T. Dec 27 '14 at 15:07
  • I've updated the question with the screenshots and screenshot that gives info about the device. – Jose Dec 28 '14 at 07:10
  • Do you have a "trial version" theme or overlay to system? – HasH_BrowN Dec 28 '14 at 07:19
  • well I don't know really...how would we check that? – Jose Dec 28 '14 at 07:21

    One thing that I can see from the screenshot is the build number: polaris_eng 4.2.2 JDQ39 20140513 test-keys, so I'm assuming that it's using ROM for testing purpose. Unfortunately, there is not so much hint from all of these info, I couldn't find what brand it is for model C703, and whether if there is existing custom ROM. I'll try to research more, but don't count on me on this one. – Andrew T. Dec 28 '14 at 07:38
  • It's a brand called I-touch...some Dubai company.Actually it's my cousin's.I do appreciate your effort :) – Jose Dec 28 '14 at 07:42
  • when you tap on the build number it says "No need,you are already a developer." – Jose Dec 28 '14 at 07:45
  • And I did try switching off developer mode and rebooting – Jose Dec 28 '14 at 07:49

    @Jose Could you please answer your own question and describe how you solved the issue? Of course you can include the Youtube link (though I don't know what's behind it, as I cannot access it – Youtube is blocked here). Thanks! – Izzy Dec 30 '14 at 16:52

Precaution: Trojan reported in this file by MalwareBytes Mobile (from comment). Use at your own risk.

From YouTube video posted on Jose's comment,

  1. Turn on the device.
  2. Connect to your PC by the USB.
  3. Download SystemPack.apk (original: MEGA, mirror: MediaFire).
  4. Copy the .apk file to a directory on your device's memory.
  5. On your device, look for the .apk file using the files manager and install it by touching on it and following the given instructions.
  6. Shutdown your device, wait for 30 seconds, and the "DEMO" text will be gone.

Notice that the .apk file is like a "patch", so if you reset your phone into factory settings, the "DEMO" text will appear again.
