Ok I bought a Sim Free Desire HD so its completely stock, straight from HTC.
However its got some stuff I would quite like to remove such as Amazon MP3, Peep, News, Stocks, Transfer Data and Teeter, however these are locked down.
I have tried to remove them using adb however it says I do not have permission as the system is read only.
My device is rooted using VISIONary.
Here's the commands i've been running.
@adb shell rm /system/app/amazonmp3
Which should work, but I get this error
rm failed for /system/app/amazonmp3.apk, Read-only file system
Now, I thought root gave us these permissions?
This root method doesn't give full access. Read the thread

1) find the process neme by running in ADB shell or terminal app
pm list packages

2) then diable it by running
pm disable com.amazon.mp3

and then reboot your phone or just restart the launcher :-D

S-OFF in these hours would be a hand on the wheel ...!

until we don't have a full root this action is impossible. Disabling apps works only

the last version of titanium backup is able to totally remove system and/or preinstalled apps, like amazonmp3 etc. tried it and it worked for me, after two reboots the app is completely gone!
all of the above "hacks" didn't work for me (although i am temp rooted with visionary and used the "su" command), but titanium backup did the trick!
version: 3.5.7.3
click and hold on the app, choose "force remove app (by recovery exploit)"

Beware, you won't be able to install future OTAs if you delete stock apps.

Yes, you will have to flash the stock rom first.

thx, do we really have to reflash a stock rom or would it be enough to just hard reset?
Reflash is required.

If the OTA patches any of the apps you removed, the update script will check for that file and will fail when it can't find it.

I use Root Uninstaller. You can also uninstall system apps (be really careful) through Titanium Backup and a number of other file managers with root access.
Thx ! =) tried and successed
I know your question has been answered, but, you can also freeze stock apps with TitaniumBackup in case you're hesitant in completely removing them.

The best way to do it .. is to reflash ROM.. after wiping clean and backing your apps..
Other way to do it is to to make your apps < 150 mb and delete the script from /system/etc/init.d using a root file explorer.

You can't have real root even on unlocked bootloader because system partition can't be mount r/w
And what does the "unreal" root allow me to do? Remove system apps (bloatware) at least?

You can install titanium backup and use it to back/restore ; you can freeze system app but you can't delete them....
Root worked fine SU asks for permission, given. But when I select items to uninstall they all fail.
I did not uninstall SU from previous root could that be the problem?
Thanks

You mean using Titanium Backup or something to delete stock app's?
