There's another step to this. Once you've renamed the files, you can delete the application remnants from the phone. This will NOT delete the renamed .tmp files or affect the back-out procedure in any way.
On the phone..
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
You'll see several unusual entries. like "com.mspot.android.music.radio". These are the remains of your AT&T Bloatware. Simply click on them, then hit the "Uninstall" button. Use your noggin, match up the apps you're deleting to the apps whose apk files you renamed in the previous post.
