Change Carrier Banner
This section relates to the Razr Phones provided by Verizon Wireless only.
So maybe you enjoy sporting "Verizon Wireless" on the inside and outside of your phone, but maybe you dont. Noticed how you cant change it from within the phone? Yeah. You can add another line of text but, nehhh... you really want to unbrand that phone dont you. After all, it is your phone - make it so.

Used in this guide: * Motorola Razr V3M / V3C for Verizon * P2K Seem Editer [GUIDE] [DOWNLOAD] * PST 7.2.3 - Phone Programmer |
Change that Carrier Banner!
- 1. Plug in your phone to your computer via the USB cable and then start Phone Programmer which comes with PST 7.2.3 (available from most P2P file sharing programs). This guide also assumes that you have previously setup PST and gone through the initial setup process.
- 2. Start P2K Seem Editer [DOWNLOAD]
We are about to perform a seem edit.
If you do not know how to perform a seem edit, please visit this guide
- 3. Basically this text, "Verizon Wireless" is embedded in the phones programming and you can edit this string of text from the seem editer. The maximum amount of characters that you can put is 16 characters. Lets start by by loading up the proper seem and locating the text we will be changing. Use the following seem information:
|
|||||||||||||||
- 4. You will notice that on the right side of P2K Seem Editer that there is Verizon Wireless written on 2 lines. You've located the proper place, and we're about to change that bad girl. First, we must warn you to NOT change anything before the V of Verizon OR after the S of wirelesS.
- 5. Now, simply click on the V of Verizon and you can begin to type in the new carrier banner. Remember that you cannot go past the S of wirelesS. A good method of aligning your new text (in the center) is in the next step.
- 6. Considering that allowed amount of characters is 16 that means that if your new text is really short, and you want to center that text, that you need to figure out how many spaces will be in your new banner.
Figure out what you want to put in place of Verizon Wireless and count the amount of characters (spaces count as a character). For our example, we will be using "Hack the Razr" which is 13 characters. We have an uneven amount of characters, which means that our banner will either be 1 character to the left or 1 character to the right
Take the amount of characters and subtract it from 16. For our example that would leave us with 3. So that means we need to put 1 space before the H of Hack and then 2 spaces after the R of razR. Pressing the space bar is fine (for spaces in the banner as well).
- Get it? If not, it should look like this:
_Hack_the_Razr__
- 7. After you fix it to your liking, you're pretty much set after we save the changes. Go ahead and click the Save to Phone button to save the changes you just made.
- 8. Last step is to restart your phone. You can either click the Restart Phone button on the P2K Seem Editer program or you can just turn your phone off then back on.
Yee haw. You've now unbranded your phone and customized that text to make it your own. Enjoy.

Posted: Fri, 09/18/2009 - 11:58 by princejarethhI was Wondering if I can use punctuation marks such as :

I want it to say Johnny's Phone which is like what 14 characters?
Would that mess up my phone at all? Right now it says FINAL FANTASY.
Okay, question... I don't even have a banner saying...
Posted: Tue, 10/06/2009 - 19:38 by princejarethhOkay, question... I don't even have a banner saying Verizon Wireless.. It doesn't say ANYTHING.
I Opened it with SEEM EDIT and changed:
Verizon Wireless to _Johnny's_Phone_
Then saved, rebooted my phone, and STILL the banner has NOTHING written on it...
I went into Settings&Tools, Display Settings, Banner, and ERI Banner.
STILL nothing happened when enabled or disabled...
Now it's not what I DID was wrong... There was never a banner to begin with...
