Root [Verizon] Samsung Custom unlocked boot screen. How do I remove it?

[srothkin]

FWIW, back when I had the original Motorola Droid and had it replaced a few times under the VZW extended warranty, there was only one time that the replacement had an immediate problem and they took care of that right away. I think I ended up getting replacements 4 times -- once for a non-working key on the keyboard, twice for the headphone jack shorting out (which was a well-reported problem for the original Droid for those who used headphones a lot) and once when the replacement wouldn't connect to wifi. My experience was that for the most part the refurbished replacements all lasted just as long as the original new droid did before developing the headphone short problem.

So I wouldn't worry too much about ending up with a refurb as long as you keep the total care insurance. And as I said earlier, I also wouldn't worry about the unlock icon.

So I have been totally stock, Locked, and not rooted, restored to stock by the VZW upgrade/repair assistant for a few months now. (Was rooted with previous firmware) this morning when I powered up my phone I got the custom unlock screen for the first time in months. The phone was still plugged into the charger when I powered it on, so I am not sure if that triggered something. Am I still getting this "custom" screen because of the flash counter? Is this mainly a problem for VZW customers, because it sure seems like over the years they have gone out of their way to lock down peoples phones more than other carriers...???
