Can Super One Click be used with the newest GB update from TM?

I have heard of success with Super One Click 2.2 but I haven't tried it myself

2.2 works fine.

I have heard SOC 2.2 fails the first time you run it and works on the second time.

Had the same problem last night, just downloaded the updated Netflix and installed it choosing upgrade option... good to go now
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6791544/com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk
I'm on stock FroYo, and the update dialog flashes briefly (about 1/4 of a second). On my fourth attempt after clearing data, I managed to click the "Install" button, and was taken to the iTunes download page (!). This is the exact link I was sent to. Is Netflix expecting QuickTime codecs to be installed?

If you flashed EP1W, you're already rooted. I don't know of any EP1W builds that have been released unrooted. Check for the Superuser app. You should have it, and if you do, you're rooted.

CWM:

just use Odin to flash CWM, then boot into it right after you Odin it and flash the attached .zip (put on your sd card first)... and presto you'll be rooted

the CWM file should be a .tar or .tar.md5 and you put it in PDA (never touch any of the other buttons except PIT), uncheck auto reboot box as well since you should have the battery in to flash with Odin... after it successfully flashes unplug the phone and pull the battery, then put the battery back in and hold volume up + home + power until 'Samsung' comes up then let go of power while holding the other buttons still until CWM comes up then flash superuser there

You shouldn't need titanium back up. It was just a thought if ur having problems or had problems superonclick doesn't even reboot your phone you shouldn't loose anything when its done you should just be where u were no problems. Did you use super one click before?

[Q] Poweramp causing reboot

Quite often Poweramp seems to make my phone reboot. not doing anything specific, but always while doing something (changing songs, entering the menu, etc.). It is the best music app, but this is kind of annoying. Anyone else have the problem? I think it might be my rom or overclock but I'm not really sure. running supercharged atrix v5 update 2 overclocked to the default 1122 MHz. it did it on the unupdated supercharged also. Thanks in advance for any help.
Wow, I dont know bro. I've been running PowerAmp since I've owned the phone (~5months) and I've never had that problem. Hope you get it worked out though.

I guess it doesn't show sigs in the mobile app. now it shows. this is really pissing me off sice I bought the full version. I love the app, but it has not worked right. it hasn't done it in a few days and I have done two things. Finally updated to SCV5 update 2. last time it caused FCs even with the full image, so i sucked it up and flashed back to stock then did it all again (PITA). I also disabled the automatic folder scanning. wonder if those things fixed it?

No, it does. The one you quoted earlier, that's my mobile app sig. I feel your pain man. What I would do if I were you is backup all your apps and via CWM do a factory reset, restore your apps APK'S ONLY FIRST, then go back and restore app data. Hopefully that'll do the trick.
Could i us ti backup to restore? That backs all my apps up every other day anyways. Just wipe then restore apps then restore data. I have pro so its basically 1 click

Depending which version is used, this is very possible. But scv5 doesnt have beats iirc. But even if he flashed it himself, the same would apply. The only version I got to play nicely was the one distributed 3.2.12

Yep, that'll do it. I dont know if there are any newer versions out but I flashed beats when 3.2.12 was new, tried flashing the next 2 or 3 updates as they came out but none other than 3.2.12 worked for me. Glad u got it all sorted out.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but in order to root this phone you need to flash an already rooted ROM, you must use the nvflash link that was provided for you no matter what, and then once CWM is flashed, flash a ROM.
Hope this helped!

Super one click doesn't put cwm recovery on the phone if you want rooted stock kwes has one pre made flash through cwm easy as pie guys. I dont understand why you would want your phone rooted with no recovery installed. Just makes it harder to fix if you mess up
