I have searched and gone threw all of the steps, I have tried all of the versions of SU for my phone and keep getting the standard.
Model: SGH-T989
Kernel
2.6.35.11
gingerbread.uvkl1
I have followed this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194 and tried Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from http://androidsu.com/superuser/
everything goes great until running the SU file from recovery and it errors as cannot install, tried with signature mode on and off with no luck
Any help would be great
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfA1KKzXkFU
In that video, his goes wrong too, it aborts, but he still was able to root his phone, I think it just shows that it doesn't install, but It does, Just check if SU is installed on your phone in the app drawer
Still Nothing
Checked the app drawer as well as installed Rom Manager - and it shows that I am not rooted
update
well after dis-able sign mode and installing 3.0.7 about 4 times it finally took it
Use the search button its there for a reason... this has been covered numerous amounts of times as early as yesterday...

I swear... I just talked about this... somebody needs to update the OP in the guide..
Or a mandatory tutorial one must watch upon signing up for forums explaining what a search bar is used for.....

if you see my notes I did a search and which tutorial I was using but, I agree it would be helpful if the tutorial was updated.

Background: installed dk28 then went back to stock following wiki guide. I have wiped the phone several times after that cause that's the only fix I have found on here. I then reflashed twice. Still have the problem using any android applicatons (gallery, email, etc..) games work fine. Asphalt, bubble level, etc..
Fix: HELP I NEED ONE! How can I calibrate accelerometer? Reset it? Factory reset does not work as a fix.

A simple search for "fix accelerometer" would provide you with this exact link (see below). Please try the search button next time. I'm not new to this forum but have never had to ask a question because of the "magically appearing solution juice" I can squeeze out of the search box. I'm not trying to be a "you know what" to you, but I had the exact same problem, searched it and found the solution in less than 3 mins.
BTW I love XDA...you guys rock.
Hope this helps

Here is the easy way
Download Terminal Emulator BTW you must be rooted
***MUST BE ROOTED***
1. Download a terminal app from the market - (Android Terminal Emulator)
2. Enter one line at a time.
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
3. Follow the onscreen directions, while making sure you device is flat.
pay attention to the bump at bottom on back.
After you're done, reboot.

So I ran one click root (done it before flawlessly), and it gave an error message saying it couldn't find "free hd demos". So i restated my phone and my computer and ran it again, and this time it said it couldn't find asphalt, and sure enough it was gone! I then ran a terminal emulator to see if my phone was rooted, but it wasn't. Now what do I do?

Yes the one-click removes a couple apks, including aspahlt. It doesn't matter to the one-click if it finds them or not. It doesn't hurt anything to remove them or for them to not even be there when it is run, it will still go through the root process.
Once it you are rooted, you should see a program called SuperUser in your drawer. If you think the one-click didn't work, try it again.

Chances are you're rooting to go to a custom rom so updates aren't a good idea anyway. (You used to lose your root, and a whole new exploit needed finding, but I don't know of that's the case anymore)
Once an update hits custom roms will start having it worked into them within a couple days, sometimes in a couple hours, and they'll maintain root, and all that stuff.
I hate to bother you guys, but apparently I am doing something wrong. I have searched and read and searched and read and cannot find my problem.
I rooted my Epic 4g using the following process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074324.
I then installed the following ROM (the standard version):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194.
I followed this with an attempt to install several themes, one of them being the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024378.
The theme applies, but the background does not appear on all of my screens, such as in the background of the program pages. Also the icons that are pictured on the theme do not appear there.
Am I doing something wrong here or have I failed to understand the process. Thanks for your consideration.
Wipe cache and dalvik. The theme you posted doesn't work for some.

I actually wiped both the cache and dalvik 3x each.

Seems to me like you're doing everything right, maybe try re-downloading the theme or try a different one to see if the results are the same.

Are you on ec05?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I just came over from Windows Mobile, so I am very new to Android and all the terminology. I am trying to read and understand, however. How would I know whether I am on EC05 or not? I do know that I am using the standard ROM from this SRF and not the Touchwise version.
I was also wondering if it was possible that the rooting process did not completely take. Can that happen? If I have "superuser" in my programs, does that mean that the rooting was completely successful? Or is there another way to tell that my phone has been fully rooted.

I haven't tried that theme so I wouldn't know of issues, but to check for ec05 go to settings - about - baseband version. That will tell you. You have superuser and the best way to test your root, imo, is to run android terminal emulator and type "su", no quotes of course, and it should ask to allow super user rights and hit yes the command prompt will show a # symbol. The app is free from the market. Android terminal emulator by Jack Palavich. You can also open titanium backup and it will tell you. Afterwards open the su app and you should a list of allowed programs. Hope that helps!

Thank you very much, you guys have been extremely helpful. It turns out I do have EC05 ROM and when I opened Titanium and then went to "su" it listed it and a three other programs there on the first screen. That's great. I will try some other themes. Maybe the one suggested by Overstew.

Problem #1: I'm running RandomRom EI22 and I've done every step to prevent the System Update message, however it's still popping up. Definitely made sure I erased the systemupdate apk and everything else. What other methods are there to make it stop being such a nuisance?
Problem #2: I uninstalled regular Swype and installed the beta, ever since the original kept asking for a system update. After installing the beta, it worked fine. Now everytime I try, it keeps saying "Try again".

Do a search here on "FOTAKill.apk" - that was the only thing that helped me on both my phone and my wife's - but we are on Froyo so this might not work for you.
With that being said, all of what you tried has been suggested for Froyo users also, but didn't work - so give it a try. Sometimes the search on XDA doesn't seem to work well for me - so what I do is use Google, and in the search terms I type "XDA FOTAKill.apk"
You have to edit your build.prop to say 2.3.6 and EL30 in all places where it says EI22 and 2.3.5. Then reboot.

If it'll be back within a week, then does that mean that there's no way of getting rid of that update message?

I mentioned what has to be done before. Build.prop has to be edited.
Sorry, thought I mentioned that I did. My fault.
Yes, I did edit the build.prop file through Root Explorer, per your advice. Even after I did the final editing (missed a couple), the message still popped up. But, that's when I did the cache clearing and it didn't pop up again upon reboot.

If you are on a MTD rom, someone in another thread suggested going back to regular swype. You can get the appropo files from the Starsky ROM, this is one of the few MTD roms that uses swype still, and the only files that I found work.

I pushed using Root Explorer and got mine working again
The 'Android Update to EL30' is not removed by uninstalling system updates.apk that apk is meant to provision your Epic to Sprint. The Update Notification is caused by the 'Google Framework' Service. There may be ways to fool it, such as the buildprop edit suggested.

Hello there this is my first post lol. Anyway i I wanted to ask if i could enable root on MIUI for Xperia Play. I use this fine ROM here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719746 but I cannot get root to work. I open LBE Guard but it still does not work... can someone help me with this? Also in the thread it says that face unlock works but that too does not seem to work. Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place but as I am a new user i could not post a reply on the actual thread for the rom. Thanks in advance
Download Root Checker off the market to double check that you are indeed rooted. I had an issue with a kernel where it said it was pre-rooted but for some reason mine wasn't.
Also, go through the pages on the thread and see if anyone has used a different kernel than the recommended one. Most ICS based roms will work with any ICS kernel. Make sure to keep your current one backed up on your computer in case none work. If a kernel is not compatible, you won't get past the kernel screen. Battery pull, flash next kernel. If all else fails go back to your current one
I'd say try the FXP ICS beta kernel. Or possibly DoomKernel (make sure its the ICS one AND you get the wifi fix if says its required).
www.xperiagamer.com has a list of kernels under the "rooted" section with links to the relevant XDA thread

i did use root checker before, but i fixed the problem, kinda. i reinstalled the rom and chose superSU in the AROMA installer instead of normal superuser, and that got root working. However, i would like to thank you very much for your reply as i can tell it took a lot of time to write.
on to the next problem, anyone got face unlock working? if so how

You're welcome I'd bookmark xperiagamer.com btw. Perfect site for the Play.
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend FaceUnlock. Its extremely temperamental and more often than not you'll end up having to use your PIN or Pattern unlock. The front camera on the Play is far to dim for FaceUnlock to be a feasible option. So, I'd advise against it and stick to the option you currently use
