ee? which files you mean ? honda permission ?
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
I think we are on about different things here. I was talking about installing RC8 but I guess you are talking about the rooting.
[Security Discussion] k3s4:
Yes... I'm writing about rooting. Please read whole conversation next time..

Anyway is there anyone who can confirm that RC8 Honda connect in Honda CR-V is the same as Honda Connect RC8 in Honda Civic Tourer ?
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
Seems you have to do this...

if your Honda is an EU model

if your Connect is based on Android 4.0.4

if your car/version is listed in the update matrix

So yes, we all are talking about the same system. It doesn't matter if it's a Civic, CRV etc.
[Security Discussion] k3s4:
can u give me link to update matrix ?

I've been away for some time, after having successfully installed s_mike's Permissions app onto my (then new) Honda Jazz EX 2016 RC3.

Two years later, we were able to return the car to the dealer to cancel our PCP Finance we had on it and go back to a Motability car. Once again, a Honda Jazz EX 2018 model. (Of course! What else!! LOL)

To my shock and disappointment, I was unable to install the Permissions like I used to and it's only thanks to this forum on XDA that I discovered I now had RC7 hence why I was unable to do it.

However, the instructions for the hidden port and iRoot method on page 243 of this thread was very interesting! Thank you SO much for that. My headunit was a flush mounted non-flip screen type and so I was VERY worried about attempting the search for the hidden port, especially since it's a Motability car!

With the help of videos like this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-ckYavRoNo - I was able to remove the HU completely, also with help from my son.

Then I had to remove 4 small screws on the back of the unit to remove the screen. Behind that was the USB port, just under the ribbon cable.

I hadn't bought an OTG USB Micro A cable though!!! So I tried a normal USB A to Micro USB, the sort used for phones. It was my Samsung charge cable.

It Worked!! iRoot connected. Rooted. Permissions file now on the unit. Yay!!

Just had to put the car back together and install all the apps I like and use.

Thanks XDA and everyone involved.

Hi there. I'm new. After reading most of the last pages in this thread I still need please some guidance to start taking steps and go in right direction in dealing with the app installation. I have a unit with Android 4.0.4, Kernell 3.1.10 and Nr. OF.095.01.1103. Would it mean that it is RC7? is there any way to confirm? Thank you for your valuable support.
[Security Discussion] sobvan:
OF.095.01.1103 is RC7, you can go ahead with the iRoot method for installing Honda Permissions app.
[Security Discussion] Martian62:

I have honda civic FK2 R, the cable for micro the samsung charger its posible? For a process to hack the honda connect? I have a RC8 i need a Honda Permisons. Please help me. I pay for female usb to micro A. But slowly time, 4 weeks.

But The cable charger samsung its funtional for the proces in my civic fk2 type r?

Thanks!!!
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I have no idea what the Civic Type R HU is like but yes, a normal Samsung Micro USB charger cable worked for me, from my Windows 10 Tablet Laptop USB port to the "hidden" USB in my HU of my Jazz EX.

I would imagine the ports would all be the same but I could be wrong.

Only one way to find out! ;)

PS......

Just to clarify - the "hidden" port was still the "squared" micro USB A on my HU yet my phone micro USB plug still plugged into it smoothly without any force.

Hope that helps.
[Security Discussion] NandoFK2:
Hello, thank you very much for your answer so fast, my micro port is square just like the one that appears in the previous photos, I thought it would have to be exactly square, like the one that comes out in sparkfun micro a, and the samsung cable I think What is micro b, could someone else confirm this? Is it necessary if or if the Micro A cable of sparkfun, or serves the MicroB cable of the samsung? I could try tonight, so I could watch videos without going to the hidden menu to give off to error vsp, and install App!

thanks, I hope answers!

PESSOAL DO BRASIL, ATENÇÃO!!!

Android 4.0.4, Kernell 3.1.10 and Nr. OF.095.01.1103

The iroot method works fine on my HRV 2018/2018 here in Brazil.

The micro USB for debug is hidden as hell behind the screen, you'll have to open the panel, take off the unity, and after a lot of work to get behind the screen you'll find the micro usb for debug, then follow the i-root method.

So, now I can install apps on this **** unity!

If somebody knows a way to get Google play services and my Google account on Google Play Music, I'll pay a beer for you guys! Hahaha

Thanks a lot for the help!!

Hi k1000dbw,

I bought exactly the USB OTG Cable indicated by you , the red one, and performed successfully all the steps indicated by you above, until the step three point E (i managed to connect the device to laptop and start the rooting), where I got the error: ""MY15ADA root failed".

Do you have any idea what could be the reason for this? Maybe because I installed the RC8?

Thansk a lot!
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Just to let you all know, I had RC9 installed at dealers today.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I had exactly the same problem until I remembered I hadn't turned on Developer Options.

Well actually, I had, but it had reset to off again for some reason at some point. Turned on Developer Options again and all was well.

Just wondering if this could be your problem?
[Security Discussion] cbaciu:
Thanks Legsmaniac, but I don’t think it’s this, I am sure started the developer options because when I did not started it I couldn’t even connect to the unit. After I started it, I was able to connect to the unit, but I couldn’t root it successfully. :(

Do you have RC8 on your unit?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Hmmmm, ok. Pretty sure mine connected but wouldn't "root". Until I enabled Developer Options anyway.

And no, mine is Arsey 7.
[Security Discussion] k1000dbw:
Hi all,

I just forget to mention that you need to desactivate any firewall or antivirus software because it blocks iRoot.

guys really need some help.

i wanted to root my headunit( honda crv 2015 usa with folding screen) but i cannot get into developer mode to enable usb debugging ((

first i need to mention that to get into the screen with self diagnostic and Detail information i need to hold a different combination (power+home+eject)

When i get into "functional setup" menu i dont have developer option in there. I can get into deeper settings by holding menu for 5 seconds but even there i got nothing about developer mode or anything similar in fact the closest thing i have is "start debug tool" which is grayed out.

has anyone had success rooting US version of this headunits? are they so different?(looks the same to me)

Tomtom Go ????

Hi everyone,

is there anyone who succeed to install Tomtom Go on our unit ?

It looks like installation isn't possible because Tomtom check the Android device ID number and want it to have maximum 12 digits.

And Every chinese Head units have a ID number containing more than 12 digits... (this is the case for our unit):(

So there is two possibility:

1/ Hacking the tomtom apk to avoid the Android device ID Check

i have tried using apktool but the recompile app doesn't start (i still don't know why)

the only occurence i found is :

.line 38

sget-object v2, Lio/fabric/sdk/android/services/common/IdManager$DeviceIdentifierType;->ANDROID_ID:Lio/fabric/sdk/android/services/common/IdManager$DeviceIdentifierType;

invoke-interface {v0, v2}, Ljava/util/Map;->get(Ljava/lang/Object; )Ljava/lang/Object;

move-result-object v4

check-cast v4, Ljava/lang/String;

Maybe changing the code to inject in v4 an Android device ID with less than 12 digits... ????

2/Rooting the device and use an android device id changer application.

I can "root" using the Kingroot application. But the root doesn't stay after reboot, and doesn't give access to \system ... So it's useless :(:(

Help please.

Hello :)

finally I was able to install Honda Permission application on my Honda Connect RC8 - 10.096.00.1123

There was some problems with iroot at beginning - for some reason it has failed with rooting 3 times but after hard reset of unit I was able to root it and install Honda Permission app.

Thanks everyone for informations that I get from this forum :)

and I can confirm that standard USB charging phone cable with micro-usb is working fine - no need for special cables :)

Hi, I did the trick on a HR-V with RC7 , ok it takes a bit of time, because you have to take out the head unit, losen the screen ( only 4 screws) but hidden after the screen is indeed the usb port.

worked perfect for me, installed Waze now.

Next week i try on Jazz with RC8 installed.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

I did this trick on Honda HR-V ( RC 7 ) today, You have to take out the unit, loosen 4 little screws, and hidden behind you find the USB A.

i installed Waze, works perfect.

Next week i try Jazz with RC8 on it.
[Security Discussion] MediaTerraneo:
Hello everybody, thank you for this 3d.

I have installed HondaPermissions.apk on a CR-V, RC7, European version bought some days ago. I used a Logitech Harmony remote micro usb cable, it has a good shape to get a stable connection, even if it's necessary to press a bit. I also recommend to take the pc connected to internet, as it looks for driver and fails if not.

Now, even if i followed all steps and added a new item for allowed app, i was not able to install any. I tryed with HondaHack.apk and with a recent version of maps (it should not be compatible, but i aspected the button to launch installation was enabled at least).

Is there a limited set of app i can install? Where can i find the suitable versions? Do you think HondaHack.apk can be injected the same way HondaPermissions.apk (by means of iRoot)?
[Security Discussion] MediaTerraneo:
I got some apps from cmdroid.com and the ones I tried can be installed. In my previous attempt the button was gray cause missing compatibility, I think.

Not sure HondaPermission.apk can be installed by means of iRoot (?). If so some advantages can be added, like avoiding tap on "OK" at start.

About other apps: I have installed maps, but the audio application that i aspected in background (i.e. FM, etc.) stops.

Please can you kindly tell if there is a solution for that?

Thanks

Edit: audio issue solved, just setting the process control parameters.

Hi everyone,

I think i have screw up my head unit...

Well i was unmounting my screen (flipping version) when the screen slipped from my hand. The flex cable was just partially disconnected and the image was gone...when i have reconnected the screen, the sound cut Off and now the unit is Off and i can’t restart it....

I have check the fuse box but they look ok

Any good idea for a stupid guy ?
[Security Discussion] MediaTerraneo:
You can try to hold down the first button (Audio on / off) for some seconds until you give it a sort of reset. You can also try checking again the flat cable connection from both sides again (car side and screen side). If you can turn on, I suggest you check the connections when everything is off: after pressing the eject button, unmount again, turn off with the key, the brachets will go inside, check the connections. When done, turn on, press the eject button, the brachects come out again and you will be able to mount the screws again.

When I have manged my radio I have seen a restarting just while moving the screen, so I suppose the connections are not so stabe.

Hope you can fix.

I do agree but it is what i have noticed : kingroot show that the unit is rooted. When an app wants root access, the kingroot window open to accept the root access. But even with the root access the application can’t modify the device ID[emoji19]

[Security Discussion] MediaTerraneo:
I understood that only the audio is out of order.

To read and erase errors, you can normally use an OBD interface, to connect via bluetooth an app like Torque installed on your smartphone. There are several models for sale for few euros. Compatibility is not always guaranteed; I used it in on other cars in the past. I have no experience on the Honda, which I have bought some days ago.

To check the fuses, take a look at the manual. Normally more functions are associated on the same fuse and I think that if it depended on that, then you would notice or you would have also reported some other anomaly. In some cases there is a specific fuse that is part of the radio and is mounted on the back of the radio itself. All that is in general... personally I shoud start from the specific accident that occurred... the solicitation of the connectors that occurred with the fall of the radio.

Hello, I've done it, now I have RC6.1 and I can install apps.

[Security Discussion] danny58:
Hi, can you explain the procedure?

Have you downgraded to RC6 first and then upgraded to RC6.1 or RC6.1 directly?

Thanx
[Security Discussion] rumcajs44:
Hi,

The procedure of downgrading from RC7/8 to RC6.1 is very simple, you just need the downgrade file:

h t t p s://drive.google.com/file/d/1dLnl6URHkL0AO-u6jDay9d7h58eZYrsA/view

(this file is only for Civic Tourer with Honda Connect ID code 6VCB and other models that have the same file name "ADA_usbdl_V0E094001123_sec_14ada.zip" for Tegra in HC update matrix)

and USB stick (FAT32 formatted).

1. Download the .zip file and copy it to USB stick .

2. Turn on the engine (to prevent loss of power supply during downgrade) and insert USB stick.

3. Restart HC by pressing Power button + Brightness simultaniously.

4. The downgrade procedure will start, when it finish there will be a message to disconnect USB stick and press "Continue".

5. HC will restart and you will have RC6.1 installed with possibility to install Mike's Honda Permissions and other apps. If the button for installing apps is still greyed after the downgrade to RC6.1, you need to do factory reset (in Android Settings), of course you will lost all your personalized settings.

Of course everyone is doing it on his own risk, I have no responsibility for any damages while trying this.

Big thanks for djoaza from civicforum.pl for sharing with this method.
