Ok, good point.

So did you successfully change the banner? If so, how?

I didn't change any settings. Keep me posted of your progress.

Yes everything was able to show up correctly and I am running cdma workshop 3.4.1. Besides "banner" there is "ZRF6500" and if I change it and reboot "virgin mobile" always still shows up. I left all the options alone.

Ya i edited it with es file manager text editer, then saved it and rebooted it. But it didn't do anything.

Hey, i appreciate your effort although i have already tried both of those methods with no success.

It sounds like your talking about the startup animation/sound. I am talking about changing the carrier name to whatever i want. But if i am mistaken, please let me know.

I am rooted. I should have clarified that in the original post.

Is there a known way to change the carrier name on the start screen and notification bar from "virgin mobile" to whatever i would like to change it to. I have tried these methods thus far with no success: *Editing the build.prop file *The app "Carrier Name" *Going in to the eri.xml file and...

I hate to say this but, i have done exactly that before.I have also done many combinations of installing drivers.It seems as though nothing works.

First of all let me thank everyone for all of the feedback! Secondly, I found out about gingerbreak a few days ago. I ran it (while having the sdcard mounted and usb debugging one) and it says "rooting..... running exploit..... This may take a few minutes! Device will reboot on success!" for a...

haha I have been checking this thread like every thirty minutes to see if there were more responses.

I appreciate the help jack, but it still didn't work.I got the same 4 drivers that I always get and tried rebooting like 5 times.The problem is that the drivers don't fully recognize the phone. Also when I would open up fastboot and press "y" it would close.

I think that you are right riggerman.i think that is it because never have I once gotten a usb notification on the phone which tells me that in a sense my phone doesnt know that it is plugged in.thank you for all your time and effort.

On romtools after it installs the drivers it tells me to open superoneclick and press shell root.yes I have usb debugging on.
