grankin01, I put the wrong user name in my above comment lol. I wanted to give YOU a special shout-out and thanks for all your help (to not only myself but everyone in here and not being a ... well just being nice about it). Thanks!
I went into the terminal typed su and got the #. I tried then to remove Amazon mp3 again with the same command
rm /system/app/com.amazon.mp3
I got the same error, so I pulled the battery waited a minute booted up and went into terminal again and typed su and got the # again. Typed the command to remove Amazon only to get the same error as last time (Amazon is read only ). I'm at a loss. :/
Just out of curiosity...
My build date is Sept 27th.
Has anyone obtained perm root with this build date?
I just noticed that of the few screenshots posted, they are all the Oct. 11th build date..
still can't find sufbs in the market. :/
May have just found it.... is the Dev. Protocol-X?
I don't have a clue what the hold-up is here. I've been rooting since my G1 days. This is one of the simplest roots ever and i'm getting hung up after entering the dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 command. I can't proceed to the next step...
I forgot to ask this before and again I apologize for being such a noob but will this effect me receiving over the air updates in the future then? I mean I guess Im not to concerned right now but I'm just preparing myself now so I know should something like an update come up. Thanks ahead of time.
you have to mount the dir
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
I'm also interested in this as my HBOOT build date is Sept 27th as well.
Seems like those are the units having the most difficulty at this time.
Interesting to read the G2 thread using Rage instead of Visionary. They claim Visionary has corrupted some data during the rooting process:

Is it possible for those who have successfully obtained S-OFF to post their HBOOT build dates so we can keep track of this?
With custom rom support you won't want ota updates. Plus they'll fix root.
My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
I had the same build date of Sept. 27 before this process. I successfully got s-off first time through using adb all the way.
My phone literally gets bogged down or becomes unresponsive. I'm using the preOTA file because i'm still on 2.2. anyhow, when i get to the dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 step in terminal, the phone freezes up. So i tried the ADB method and the phone slows down, then freezes. I have to pull the battery (this, after waiting 15 to 20 minutes). phone boots up again, no root. i've gone through the process 5 or 6 times now.
****Edit***because it freezes or the dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 command doesn't complete, i never get to the 'sync' step.
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
This is so frustrating... I can't get an installable version of the visionary r11, I've tried Modaco's site and several links from members in this thread and all of them are not installable through Astro. And through Linda file manager, it gives me parsing errors. I'v checked if it has a .zip on the ending but it doesn't. All of them are .apk files but yet aren't installing. I'm dumbfounded....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I dont know what i'm doing wrong but it wont let me flash pd15img.zip with clockwork its saying abort bad file or something other....urrr what am I doing wrong?
Guys might be a stupid question but how do you get into the hboot on mytouch 4g. I thought it was the power button and camera but that doesn't seem to work.
