Help Temproot Acccess / Bloatware

Hi All,

I know rooting my phone will allow me to remove all this bloatware Bell Canada has put on my Desire Z ... However, if I just use Visionary TempRoot, which unroots after rebooting, when I permanently delete these bloatware apps off my phone, will they show up again after my phone is unrooted after reboot? This is an unlocked phone I am using on AT&T in the USA. I don't want to screw anything up because the device isn't carrier tied so if I brick it I'm out a phone and the money I paid for it.

There are a TON or worthless apps on here I really want to get rid of. Thanks for your help!

Nope, once they're gone they're really gone. The only way to get them back is either reinstall from backup or flash the official ROM. :)

Okay perfect ... Thanks man!

I'm just a little worried about rooting and such. I'm not a noob to modding, jailbroken plenty of iPhones ... Just not all that familiar with android modding. I did rooted an HTC Hero I had about a year ago and put a Modaco custom rom on. However, I paid a pretty penny for this phone since I need AT&T 3G bands (using the Bell Canada version of the Z supposedly). And although I love it, I don't know if I am going to keep it, or eBay it.

Seen all the tutorials on the Unlockr, here and elsewhere on rooting. Pretty confident I wouldn't have a problem ... But, unlike fooling with an iPhone or iPod Touch, there is a chance of bricking ...
