Do a search on cellphonehacks.com - the instructions are on there.

I'll try to retype them from mem, but the ones i used were much better layed out with more explinations.

But basically what you have to do is using bitpim, download the eri.bin file. (You do this by going to "View Filesystem" /eri/eri.bin and save)

Make a backup of it.
Using a hex editor (winhex is suggested and it works just fine for this)

Within the eri.bin file look for the lines with "Verizon WirelessA" and Verizon WirelessB" Now the trick is is to place the curser over the V... and hit the space bar replacing all letters with a space - Except for that trailing letter A or B. Make sure to leave that part there.

Now upload the edited eri.bin file to your phone. To do this go to view filesystem again, right click on eri.bin, and select overwrite.

Once this is done, reboot your phone, and the verizon wireless banner will be gone.

Hope this helps!

Hey thanks for this info! I did exactly what you had said to do and it worked just fine. I had been wanting for the longest time to get rid of that worthless banner.

Note - I've now upgraded to the vx6100, but as far as I can tell the process is the same.
