This is for all of you who have the "NO SERVICE" message when you insert your micro sim card.
IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS REBOOT IS A MUST
Step 1. Remove the sim and try it on another phone.
Step 2. If it works then check the sim contactors inside the phone (check if the pins are bent enough to touch the sim card).
Re-insert the sim and reboot. DO NOT USE AIRPLANE MODE.
IF IT WORKS STOP HERE
Step 3. If it doesn't work then go get yourself a sim replacement (preferably 128k). I got a regular sim and cut it down to size (worked flawlessly).
Re-insert the sim and reboot. DO NOT USE AIRPLANE MODE.
IF IT WORKS STOP HERE
Step 4. Get your phone checked up or replaced (lot of defective phone floating around).

Hi, I have some problems
First this ROM is so awesome (with the CyanogenMod settings menu)
Problems:
1) The keyboard backlight but i know it is normal
2) The SD card is empty for my device so i tried to delete the 4 files as someone say it in the DEV forum but no results. Again empty. So i tried something, i turn off the device, put out the sd card, turn on, turn off, put in the sd, and yeah the sdcard wasnt empty but after a reboot she was empty
3) My mini pro say that there is no contacts on my SIM wtf??
4) I can open the notification thing with finger but cant close it but i know it is normal
5) No 5)
The works!
1) No problem with data
2) The Sym/blue button works great!!
There's quite alot of people out there with these that are trying to get this thing unlocked, rooted, de-bricked......... Guess what.......
Part one.....
Ok People,
This zip has three files in it named....
#BTBLOCK.BIN
#REDBOOT.BIN
.
.
and
.
.
#NORKERN.BIN
This is just to proove that I have done something with the Zeen. For all of you that dont think that it's possible.... have a look. I'm currently uploading the rest of the rom as we speak.... it's slow, dont despair, we have crap uploads here where I come from.......
The #NORKERN.BIN file was missing from the origonal post from a page I cant remember on here...... so here it it..... i'll be adding the rest as i type...
#MCCROOT.BIN
#MCCAPP.BIN
#MCCPRVT.BIN
#MMCDATA.BIN
These 4 files are big, so bare with me...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XI6S4OH <------- #REDBOOT.BIN #BTBLOCK.BIN #NORKERN.BIN
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MG8S5EEG <------- #MMCROOT.BIN
I'm also going to be modifying this rom to the max, as soon as I sus out a few things..... I'm not a dev..... but I learn faster than the average bear.....
This is all possible with the help of the internet and countless webpages that gave me the tools and knowhow to do what i've done.... so I thank the people out there..... yeah, you know who you are.... (if you read this).
Great job! I am sure this would definitely help out the community!!!
I have uploaded the #MMCROOT.BIN file, so GO FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!.
Cheers.
Sorry for the bump on this old thread. I was wondering if you had the #MCCAPP.bin file. I saw you named it but never uploaded it. Could you please share this? Thanks.
hey lynxdog thanks for this
will try do it following these instructions from dennis_angelo: Step 1
1) Insert the SD card into the PC card reader. If any files exist on SD card, delete them.
2) Copy the “#BTBLOCK.BIN” file to the root of the SD card.
3) Insert the SD card into the Zeen SD card slot. (The Zeen should be powered off, if it isn’t do that now.)
4) Locate the 2 square buttons next to each other on the back side of the Zeen (volume controls)
5) Press and hold those 2 buttons.
6) Press the power button (located on the back side of Zeen on the same edge as the headphone jack) once while still holding the 2 buttons.
7) Observe the screen: Once a loading bar appears release the 2 buttons.
8) Once the loading bar completes turn off the Zeen unit.
Step 2
1) Insert the SD card into the PC card reader. If any files exist on SD card, delete them.
2) Copy the “#REDBOOT.BIN” file to the root of the SD card.
3) Insert the SD card into the Zeen SD card slot. (The Zeen should be powered off, if it isn’t do that now.)
4) Locate the 2 square buttons next to each other on the back side of the Zemea
Step 3 (I don't have the following files but I pressumed these are the android kernel)
1) Insert the SD card into the PC card reader. If any files exist on SD card, delete them.
2) Copy “#MMCAPP.BIN”, “#MMCROOT.BIN”, “#NORKERN.BIN” files to the root of the SD card.
3) Insert the SD card into the Zeen SD card slot. (The Zeen should be powered off, if it isn’t do that now.)
4) Locate the 2 square buttons next to each other on the back side of the Zeen:
5) Press and hold those 2 buttons.
6) Press the power button (located on the back side of Zeen on the same edge as the headphone jack) once while still holding the 2 buttons.
7) Observe the screen: Once a loading bar appears release the 2 buttons. 3 loading bars will appear this time one after the other. The first loading bar will take a minute after completing before the 2nd and then 3rd loading bars appear. Please wait until all three loading bars complete and an onscreen message will then ask you to remove the SD card and power down the unit.
8) Finally, press the power button once and allow Zeen to boot fully. The unit should start in OUT OF BOX EXPERIENCE (OOBE) mode. So it should be asking for your location and language
please someone post MMCAPP.BIN file
thanks
#MMCAPP.BIN
Has anyone figured out where this elusive #MMCAPP.BIN can be found. Apparently it is needed to run the apps once you've done all the other steps. I did everything but my apps tab no longer works on the zeen. Everytime I hit it I get a message 'Application not installed on your Zeen". Does anyone have a fix to take it back? I've done the factory reset and it still comes up the same.
I have no way of accessing the apk's on the SD card now.
***UPDATE*** I installed launcher pro and a z4root and eas file manager and eas task manager and have been able to get to all the apk's and all files on the SD card and have only run into maybe 5 apk's that wouldn't function once installed the rest work great. I also installed 'awesome drop' which allows me to get files to the zeen without the use of the USB cable. However this comes after using the prescribed steps in the above posting which has totally screwed my Zeen. The #mmcapp.bin is a much needed file and until somebody posts it, I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THE ABOVE STEPS. They wipe your zeen clear of any access to your printer apps which is now my BIG problem. I am begging anyone who may own a factory back-up of the zeen to post it or make me an offer to buy it from you. I have no access to my eFax app or any of my HP apps since the method above screwed my zeen, hence screwed me. You should not be posting this crap if you do not have all the files needed.
Mentioned apps are attached to make your life easier than this was for me.
Anyone looking to root this thing, stick with Z4Root, Launcher Pro and take it from there. I have tons of apps on my Zeen and am using it soley as a tablet now because the brainiacs with the above postings gave us all such bad advice by not posting the #mmcapp.bin file with these instructions..
I have Googled all over the place looking for a factory rom for the zeen and am having no luck. A factory reset is not the answer because one of the bin files in the above steps wipes access to everything once you have it 'redhacked' and I have been unable to undo whatever the redboot.bin file has done. A full factory reset just brings me back to setup, but the zeen still boots showing 'redhacked' and once it is up and operational the apps tab no longer works. Even with launcher pro there are still no HP apps for printing, scanning or eFax. It turned what was already a disappointing purchase into a paperweight.
Thanks in advance

Hey guys!
I'm having a problem with my SD Card here...
The SD was normal, my phone was normal too, but I decided to Unlock my Bootloader...
The bootloader is unlocked now, I installed a custom kernel "NaA" and I reflashed my room, just to make sure.
But, after all this, the SD Card problem begun...
Every time I connect my phone to the PC, the message "touch the button to connect bla bla bla" appears normaly, but when I touch the button to see the content of the SD Card on my PC, automaticaly appears the message on the StatusBar that I can safely remove my SD Card.
I cant formmat via PC, because he dont recognize my SD (Because of the "touch button" problem)...
What can I do?
Thanks!
Well, I've no idea what's causing that but you should be able to see what's on the SD card via your PC by using the memory stick adaptor that came in the box with your phone. Or try buying a memory card reader.
Or..when you connect your phone to the PC, don't select the option to view your files on the window that pops up, just select the bottom option instead ("Charge Phone" or something similar). Then use your pull-down menu and select the USB Storage option.
Normally, this lets you view the contents of your memory card on the PC. Because I don't know why you're having the issue you are, I don't know if this'll work or not but it's worth a try.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY BE DONE TO YOUR PHONE WHILE FOLLOWING THIS TUTORIAL*
*READ AND FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY OR YOU "WILL" RUN INTO PROBLEMS*
CREATING A GOLD CARD
Ok first we need to modify an sd card to make something called a gold card. Don't ask me what it is because honestly I have no idea I just know it is a necessary process in getting S-OFF.
1. Backup all files on your SD card as we will be formatting the card and you will lose all of your data.
2. Plug your phone into your computer and make sure hard disk mode is chosen. (Make sure USB debugging is turned on also)
3.Extract SimpleGoldCard_v1.zip to your desktop and start SimpleGoldCard.exe.
4. Select your SD card's drive letter in the drop down menu under "Step 1 - Format SD Card" and then select Format. If your drive letter is not showing up try pressing the refresh button next to the drop down menu.
5. Select ok when it says Format Complete then turn your phones USB Connection option to Charge Only instead of Disk Drive.
6. Next under "Step 3" select the MMC1 radio button and then click on GetCID. (It will produce a long list of jumbled numbers and letters this is your SD card ID)
7. Then select the link under "Step 4 - Request for IMG file". Copy the long ID from "Step 3" and paste it into the CID space on the web page you just opened and then fill out the captcha form and click Download to download your goldcard.img file (Save to your desktop)(the goldcard.img files are specific to individual SD Cards)
8. Close the page once you have downloaded your file and then bring back the Simple Gold Card application. Under "Step 5 - Load IMG File And Patch" select Load IMG and locate the goldcard.img file that you just downloaded and select it.
9. Put your phone back into Disk Drive mode and then click Patch MMC. Once everything is complete you should have a working gold card. (To make sure, remove your SD card and reinsert it and make sure that it still functions normally.
After your gold card has been made you need to download and unrar the DIAG Files.rar file I have uploaded. Extract the of the folder to the root of the new Gold Card you have just made. There should be two files and it should look like this when you are complete.
F:/PG76DIAG.nbh
F:/PG76DIAG.zip
*F being the letter of your removable drive whatever that may be
Before we move on to the next step we need to make sure that Fast Boot is turned off. So to do that you need to go to Settings/Power and then make sure Fast Boot is not selected.
INSTALLING THE DIAG FILES
2. Boot into HBOOT by holding Volume down while pressing the power button (you do not need to hold the power button, only hold the volume down button) The HBOOT screen will boot up and then you can let go of the Volume down button.
3. The phone will automatically scan the SD card for the files we just put on the root of the SD card and will start the update process.
4. A screen will appear that says Clean s58. Press the power button once to select clean s58 and the phone will start doing it's thing and should take about a good 20 seconds until it's finished.
6. Once the phone is off remove the SD card so that the phone doesn't install the DIAG files when we boot into HBOOT to check if we now have S-OFF.
7. Boot into HBOOT again by holding Volume down and quickly pressing the power button. The phone should boot into HBOOT and at the top of the screen it should now say S-OFF.

holding the power button for 10 seconds will reboot the phone, same as a battery pull would. Even in bootloader mode.

trying it now. Does the gold card have to be the main SD card, or can i use another one as a one time thing?
I think ill wait for a more proven method ...not trying to brick my *unicorn* phone
Thread Closed:
Seems the OP didn't make it specifically for this phone and has not tried it.
I wouldn't try this...
Is there any way to prevent Xperia U to restart after sim card has been removed/inserted because this is very annoying although it has a hot-swappable sim-slot. I have seen that the restart is not required as the new sim is detected automatically when inserted & pin code is asked if required. But then the phone restarts.
AFAIK, no such thing as hot-swappable SIM card for Android phones. Some drivers need to be reloaded, gapps won't work if it doesn't restart, etc. Even dumb phones need to restart. The only time I hear this working is if the phone is dual-SIM, where you only swap out SIM2.
