Root Roaming Indicator Flashing - Change Banner

So, after trying to change my banner text with Root Tools, the roaming indicator is now flashing non-stop in my pull down menu. I have a back up from a day or so ago made with TB so hopefully I'll be able to restore the correct file...but which one? Is it the eri file? Also, it changed my background to the gray/black stripes, the stock background.

Thank you!

EDIT: Found this and went into a hex editor and retyped "Verizon Wireless". Let's see how this reboot goes.

$#!+...Still there. Any ideas? *228 Option 2 didn't help. I'm definitely not roaming. Could someone send me their /system/framework/framework-res.apk file?
 
Would someone mind grabbing a copy of this off their phone and sending it my direction? I believe that I need framework-res.apk.

I have had this same issue with no resolution. Have you had any luck since your last post?

A complete backup with MyBackUp Root and factory reset fixed it. All in all, it took about an hour to backup, reset, and restore. I know I won't be doing the banner change again any time soon!

Thank you for the help and advice. I think this is the last time I do heavy changes until the bootloader is unlocked...

Were you able to pull the backup off another device or did you have a full backup prior? I had a backup of all my APK's when I froze some stock apps. However when I did the restore and reset nothing happened. I have another clean Droid 3 I can pull a copy off of. Any suggestions?

I like MyBackUp Root for its simple UI. It's slower than TB, but very simple. I went in backed up Apps & Media, then Data, to my external SD card. Don't wipe either the internal or external SD card when resetting, since all you really need is for the phone's software to be fixed. Once I reset it, I re-ran the one click root and grabbed MBU Root from the market and did a restore of Apps & Media and then Data.
 
I pulled a full backup off another VZW D3 with MyBackup Root and restored with MyBackUp Root Pro following your guidelines. That time it seemed to take! Thanks for the advice.

ok so if i used root tools, and messed up my verizon wireless banner, the steps i should take are download the .apk file above, back up with mybackup root, and then do factory restore?
 
It may be a good idea to take a nandroid backup of your phone here and there, allows you to restore and recover from alot of issues
