I started off with an unbranded/unlocked Black V3 RAZR. By the time I got
done messing with it (dummy), it is now Cingular branded and locked.

I found out that when I flashed it with the Cingular Branding Monster Pack
the phone became locked.

Not learning my lesson I found a Flex upgrade that added all the Star Wars
Photos to the phone, which I did. They came out okay and the phone is still
working fine but now there is something else that was added that I can't
get rid of.

When I power-up the phone I now get a message "Flex Error: Phone Subsidy
Code", even with this message the phone operates fine.

I went to "personalize>greeting" and found that message there and deleted
it then "ok" but every time I power up that message reappears.

I know it is not the end of the world since the phone works fine but is
there a way I can permanently remove that greeting message?

Thanks!

For anyone that has/had this same problem I got the answer from "Rayscr" on
Howard Forums:

Open up P2Kman and remove the file "/a/mobile/system/secure_pds_init" then
go to Settings > Personalize > Greeting and clear it out. Restart and the
message will be gone.

Worked like a charm.
