You can remount your system partition as Read/Write if your NAND is unlocked, just do an "adb remount"

You could always just download titanium backup and remove them or download root explorer
Go to system/app hit the rw/w in the right corner and delete what you don't want

Seriously ?? 2.1 ??!!
First install official 2.3.3 (you can download it from htcdev.com) then use revolutionary .
edit : sorry didn't see the first pic !! yep , I think you're rooted . Is there an app named "Superuser" in your menu ?? if yes you're rooted .

No there is not a "superuser" app
Where can I download the official 2.3.3? I can't find it
You are S-OFF but doesn't have the Superuser app yet most definitely.
To get root, you have to flash superuser zip found on Revolutionary FAQ page. Read it and it's there. Third FAQ item if my memory serves me correct.
Alternatively you can just flash a custom rom and it will have superuser out of the box.
EDIT: Here read common problems and questions. It's item number 4

What do I do with the flash files? Do they go on to the sd card or what?

Save that zip file on your SD card.
Choose Recovery on the hboot menu.
Depending on what recovery you have, look for something that says flash/install from sd card
select the file and let it do it's work
reboot

Looks like you haven't flashed a custom recovery yet...
Since you're using a desire with german language, I suspect that you speak german ;-)
Before you play around with your device, I think it's better to read and understand what you're doing. Therefore, brutzelstube.de is a great german website specially about rooting and modding the desire. Maybe you should just read the tutorials there and see what your device is capable of. If you need to ask what to do next for every step, you probably won't have much fun with your rooted desire. Especially if you want to flash a custom rom.
As it is a used device, what about the one who owned the device before? Can't you ask him what exactly he did?
You could also just install and run an app that requires root (like Titanium Backup or Rom Manager) and see what happens...

Seriously? Rom manager..... Fail
Like stankyou says, you need to flash a custom recovery and you'll need to flash superuser before you try to install any app that requires root access

Well, first of all there was the question if root-access works or not. Looks like the answer was no, but just trying it out does no harm. And since Rom Manager requires root, it should be ok for testing, just like any other root app. I didn't say he would need it.
Or he could just look in app drawer for the superuser app

I got it rooted and got custom rom on it Thnx

Sure, but since I saw more than one case where some apps didn't show in app drawer, I don't trust the app drawer anymore ;-)
@philipo84, have fun - now your phone is really smart ;-)

Can you tell me how to root and unroot without triggering the counting warning? Thanks.
Just look on the stickies
Root no trip the flash counter method
However, you could root any of the ways and use the app triangle away to reset the flash counter

I do recall reading something about doing the opposite, temporarily unrooting in order for the OTA to install properly then enabling root again, but I can't for the life of me remember where or how it was done. It was just a tap of a button is all I can remember. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Inside the root programs SuperSU or Super User, there are options to select "Temp Unroot"

No they will not restart upon a reboot. This is your best bet imo OP. As well as the easiest.

Actually I was trying to remember OTA Rootkeeper, but it's nice to know of this method too. Once you install OTA Rootkeeper it allows you to temporarily unroot.
Clear and safe temporary rooting?
I have no need for custom ROMs etc, just want to make complete backup, perhaps remove some apps and for curiosity try to run some game data analyzers. Can I do this with temporary rooting and is there some clear and safe howto for the S3 (currently seems to have JB 4.1.2) ?
What I want is to temp-root the phone, do some magic and then after restart use the original rom without root.
(Little OT, but if I do a permanent root and then unroot the phone, will I lose some data? They talk about "wipeout" and it sounds like a permanent lose of data.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ari

There is no such thing as "temporary root". You either have it, or you don't. You have the option (through root access) to remove root when you are finished with it.
You will not lose any data. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
I didn't answer the how to question because the answers are in the stickies.

[Q] WFS root problem

Hello,
I have a WFS which is S-ON.
I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com.
When i restart the phone in the bootloader, i see in the first line "UNLOCKED"; the phone is still S-ON.
When i try to root it (supertoolv3), it says it's rooted at the end, but nothing is done after the restart.
Also by installing Superuser and Busybox from the play store does not help.
I don't want to put a custom bootloader nor Rom, just want a rooted phone to uninstall some bloatware and use some applications...
Another question i have is how to flash a stock rom with the Belgium Dutch AZERTY keyboard... Anyone an idea?
My actual rom has version 2.26.401.4
Does anyone has an idea what i can try?
Already thanks!

Do you mean to flash CWM and then root the device?
i found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997465
Can you please confirm this will not touch the normal ROM of the WFS?

He means install titanium backup and allow root permissions. After it starts go into the apps section touch the app you want to remove and press uninstall.
Don't forget to press thanks if I helped.

HTC ONE M8 Root Explorer not working

Nothing is happening. Stock roms have a system write protection even if you are rooted. You need a custom kernel that disable HTC write protection. You can still add files to system even if you are stock, but only if you do it via recovery.

Sorry. Posted to wrong topic
I didn't have to do anything for RW access to system just s-off and root, but there is a module you can install to enable RW somewhere on this forum.

Any ideas how to do this, where to get such a kernel? Or (if so, how?) can this be done from recovery?

Just look in the Development section, or even faster use the Index thread sticky near the top of the General section.
Another option, just flash a custom ROM. All of them should have system write protection disabled.

If you have root install some app that will freeze/delete preinstalled app. Titanium backup can do that.
