Hi all,

I am using an iphone as a hotspot for my honda connect. BUT, everytime I leave the car, when I return back, I can no longer connect the iphone as hotspot, I need to delete it from WIFI devices, then search it again, connect it, and only then I can use it as a hotspot again. This happens every time I want to use waze/spotify on Honda Connect!

Is there a way to avoid this issue?

Thanks a lot!

I can confirm that downgrading the system from from Rc8 to Rc6 works on crv 2016 android 4.0.4 (Honda connect 1). I'm using waze, sygic (online and offline), Spotify, netflix (feels really unnecessary, a car is to be driven) etc... Everything you need to make this possible can be found on, cmdroid.com.

It feels like a new car, and the way the infotainment should have worked from the beginning 😁👍🏾 I've got a lot of help and tips from this forum.

Hi.

Maybe someone can help.

I got the Huawei 5577c router only on car.

Paired.

Works fine.

But in some situations/under some circumstances (I'm not sure, which), the Internet connection is broken. Seems like there is no signal. Nethertheless, if I'm using this router or I've got Internet from my phone (via thethering). Of course, problem is only, when I'm using youtube client to listen some songs or videos during driving my Honda Jazz.

So, can anybody write, is this normal? Or should I try to find any software solution?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

Hi, I'm using my huawei phone as a wiif hot-spot. It works like a charm. But the YouTube app has been buggy for me using it in the car. I couldn't even connect it to Internet, I got the 400 error code. But otherwise my phone does the job giving the system an Internet connection. So your problem could be a faulty router. Or... Have you disconnected your phones hot-spot before connecting your router. Your phone could be interfering whith your huawei router?

Does your system browser work when you are using a hotspot? I cant get a connection on my Civic Tourer even with a confirmed connection
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
Yeah it works! Do you have a android 4.0.4?
[Security Discussion] benfleet5:
Yeah got 4.0.4 running RC6 it connects find but never gives me an actual connection
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
Try checking that you have the WiFi settings right (there is a blue button that has to be "on" ) at your Honda connect system. Make sure you don't have the 5 ghz option on when you choose WiFi hotspot on your phone.

Otherwise maybe you need to factory reset and re-install RC 6. Do a factory reset again after installing Rc6, install permissions and then also remove the pre installed Aha app. And then it should work.

I used the firmwire provided by cmdroid. I didn't split the files into tree pendrives as I've seen others suggest. (I don't know if this has something to do with Honda Link).. The zip file containing Rc6 ISO isn't to be touched. I just added the complete zip file in the pendrive. The files provided works with the Honda connect 1 system (android 4.0.4). Another forum in Spanish and Portuguese confirmed it worked on different car models.

If your Internetconnection doesn't work something probably went wrong, if it supposedly worked normal earlier. Does something else not work?

Remember, It's really important to do a factory reset.

I had problems with waze at the beginning. It wa a blank screen with no GPS signal to be found. It downloaded languages. I just changed the language in the waze app to the one corresponding to my region. And everything just started working. I don't know why it started working, but it did. Maybe that could help.
[Security Discussion] benfleet5:
Thanks, I did a factory reset after downgrading to RC6. I am still on RC6 now so should be able to reload that no problem. I didn't remove the preinstalled Aha app though. Maybe I could look at this? How do you go around uninstalling as I would have thought this wouldn't be possible the normal way you would uninstall Android apps?

No idea if it worked before, to be honest, never tried!! I don't think the head unit can even see 5ghz but I will check!
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
You have to do a factory reset before installing rc 6, and the again afterwards. The aha app can be uninstalled as a regular app trough the Honda connect.

Yeah, the system doesn't recognizer 5 ghz. Have you tried another browser? Like chrome or Firefox for example?
[Security Discussion] benfleet5:
I didnt factory reset before, maybe I will try that:

Factory reset

Install RC6

Factory reset

Permissions

Uninstall Aha app

I haven't yet tried another browser but I will! It hasn't affected me to much with the development of the Android Auto app from @MaKi83
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
It's important that you also only install one app at the time. With the rename app option (HondaApp). So when you install permissions, you have to delete the downloaded Apk before you download or install the next app. Otherwise the apk can get corrupted and won't install or installs faulty. ☺️

What android auto app?
[Security Discussion] benfleet5:
I have them in folders and use file commander it's so much easier!!

If you look at the top of page 159 you will see that @MaKi83 has developed Android Auto app for 4.0.4 it's still early days and I know he hasn't got a lot of time to work on it but myself and @Edozullo have been testing it
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
It sure looks cool. Is the goal to enable Google voice commands. Because that would have been awesome.

Otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with the functions I got with Mike's permissions.

I hope so! If it can be linked I think we are onto a winner! If you know any C++ engineers then let us know! Trying to get a GitHub up so it can be developed further
[Security Discussion] borba0:
I'll try with other router. When I'm using router to give my HU internet connection, the phone thethering is off. So it could be the solution.
[Security Discussion] MaKi83:
I would like to implement Google assistant. At the moment it doesn't work because the Honda connect is not a standard Android but has many customizations. I have to reverse engineer it and only after I hope that it can be implemented. If it would been a standard android implementation it already worked.

[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
So I tried to connect my Bluetooth gaming controllers to my HU. On the list of devices it connects/pairs successfully but then the controllers don't actually connect and get stuck on "BT search". I'm just wondering if it has something to do with limitations made by Honda. Does it only connect to phones and mediaplayers? Or has someone else successfully paired other devices.

I will try out other devices to see if i could make it work. Do you guys have something in mind to create a workaround??

I'm using the snes9ex+ and successfully played roms from the internal memory. I also gave the app permissions and added its package name.

I will try gaming controllers connected to the USB.
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
You can delete and edit permissions if you added some earlier. Make sure you don't add multiple permissions with the same package name.
[Security Discussion] benfleet5:
Yes I know, I have been making changes but just cannot sign in, I click existing account and then it crashes.
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
@benfleet5 I see, can you add an account through your android system setting before you click on existing account?

Same thing happens through every setting
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
Well I haven't tried, so I can't actually help you on this one. I will try myself in the future.

@mechenique said something about not installing account manager and framework, and that made it work for him. 🤔

Yes he did, I uninstalled account manager and from system it no longer showed you Google sign in however didn't try it with maps, will give it a bash. I have an old YouTube music app and would be great to use that but need an account!

It is possible or someone else have did it and works with Jazz?

Dear Friends

I would like to see here the simple stages for the next most popular and problematic software until yet as i can see here:

Honda Jazz European 2016 /2017

Honda Connect

Android 4.0.4.

RC4 / RC5

Kernel 3.1.10, 0C.091.01.0021/1123

The people that have this popular model of car, did not have any luck with permissions instalation and next stages for any APK.

All time the system saying:

- " Instalation Failed"

Whitout any sucess about this the people not have any hope to take Waze or other!

The question is if this hack works in Android version of HRV or CIVIC, why with Jazz European...NOT ?????

Please, we need support...

What have you tried, specifik steps? There is alot of information in this thread if you use the search function.

Did you reset your system before trying to install apps? Have you tried upgrading to Rc6?
[Security Discussion] pescatarian2021:
Hi and thanks for answer.

OC.091.01.0021

Can you confirm if this is RC4 or RC5 as i thnk it is?

Ok.

Yes, i maked a lot of factory resets before and after tryed to put the file perrmitions from S.Mike and even ( i think is the same...) the file permitions from Cmdroid.

And i maked one time an upgrade for system that was avaiable. But after that once again...and after that upgrade...i maked factory resets again to maked another tests with the file permitions again.

Yesterday i tryed again thie next :

First Time :

Reset to factory.

Tryed file permitions by browser and by pendrive.

Error : X Instalation Failed

Second Time :

Reset to factory.

Maked Upgrade system of A-Ah

Tryed file permitions by browser and by pendrive.

Error : X Instalation Failed

Third Time :

Uninstall the Upgrade system of A-Ah

Reset Factory

Tryed file permitions by browser and by pendrive.

Error : X Instalation Failed

Curiosity think is now i put the permitions file un any usb pendrive and the instalation popup of the system did not me the option activated to install😡

Finaly and most important as im thinking now because you are talking about "RC6 Upgrade"

Sorry too tell but i did not saw that the first step is upgrade to RC6 once the major of percentage of this lot of information are for CRV and CIVIC and not for Jazz or Fit.

Even the information on Cmdroid Website in First Page the Popup Red Alert saying that not to try any file for Fit/Jazz.

You recommend that the first step now is:

- Upgrade this Honda Jazz 2017 System from RC4/RC5 to RC6 and try again the file permitions?

And next step is came here tell the results?

Right?

If yes were i can find that Upgrade from RC4 & RC5 to...RC6?

Can tou tell me link please to try it?

Thanks a lot for help my friend.

[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
This is not about a specific car model.

Its a thread for the android Honda connect 4.0.4 version.

I recommend you to search and read the thread and look if someone has done it on a jazz equal to your version.

Everything you do on your car is on your hands.. Im not recommending nothing, I'm just asking what steps you've made.

@pescatarian2021

I used the downgrade files from cmdroid. And followed their steps carefully. The files there worked for my crv, even though cmdroid says he doesn't take responsibility for the other car models. But the android 4.0.4/Honda connect system 1 is the same.

So if you want to try make sure you don't turn of your engine during the upgrade. I personally took my car for 10 minute ride around town.

My tip is that you search the thread. Because I think I saw a member Write that he successesfully installed permissions on his Jazz model.
[Security Discussion] pescatarian2021:
Latinofreaks i think you send me all elements that i need to start a job more complete and with more hope and capacity to find the line of success!

The Matrix show that i have :

RC4:

Kernel 3.1.10, 0C.091.01.0021/1123

RC5:

Kernel 3.1.10,0C.091.01.0021/1123

By the way i haven't now the access to "Info System & Vin car "...simple disappear from Honda Connect System.

This console is an Original Honda Fujitsu

In conclusion once all resumeed information that you send me above ( and i appreciate that too much my friend ) ...and once...im supposed from the Matrix information...im stay in RC4/RC5 ...the S-Mike file should worked (!!!)...but for some reason...not (!!!).

So i think an Upgrade from RC4/RC5 to RC6 like the RC6 Iso file that i see somewhere here in forum in Microsoft Cloud maybe will bem the best way.

Because i will made a "Clean Instalation of RC6 in this unit"

Of course it will be with my own risk but that RC6 file are with some tutorial in the Cloud File and i must read careful.

In conclusion with all your help today...more information now that i have ( God Bless you my friend ) and with more files i will appreciate to back again to this house to give to all my experience.

I know if the Permitions file pass and installed all apk can enter with success.

Now i need to pass that bug one clean instalation maybe.

Final commentary Latinofreaks?

Thanks...thanks...and thanks a lot.

[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
Well, make sure you reset to factory settings before you do anything. And lastly, everytime you try to install an apk you have to only have one apk at the time. Not 2 files with the same file names. Or else your installation will be corrupted or unsuccessful.

Your USB drive has to be formatted fat32. Try to also delete the Aha radio app. And try to install one apk at the time.

Delete all old apks, even the one downloaded inside the Honda connect. And try installing permissions through USB.

If that doesn't work, you can go on and try other methods. Like upgrading etc..

Good luck, I'll be available through this forum. I know the feeling when it doesn't work, so that's why I want to help my friend.

I think you can get the car and android info through the android settings (about/info). Not necessarily on Hondas own interface settings.
[Security Discussion] pescatarian2021:
Ok

I played all attentions about that old facts about reset factory...not have 2 files...deleted Aha apk...Fat32...etc...

But i will try all that stages again before to try next level.

And as you recommended after that if nothing changed the possibility of permitions i think must do the next level to Upgrade to RC6 to install a Clean Instalation with the key in ignition and motor of the car ON.

Let's read better all your passed information to me here, and other too, from last your posts and play the operations careful.

I appeciated very much you help my friend

I will be back again here in a few days to post the progress.

Hi everyone :)

About a week ago, Waze installed on my Civic IX Tourer 2015 started to display "Searching network" and wouldn't connect to hotspot. Waze was running and the arrow (my car) was moving on the map as I was driving. Too bad searching for new destinations wasn't working. This version was installed by me about 2 years ago.

So did all the steps again : factory reset + via browser installed HR-V PERMISSIONS 1.1 S_Mike + deleted from downloads + new process permissions for com.waze + installed Waze 3.9.9 from CMDroid

Now when launching Waze, it's starting initializing and after a couple of minutes I get the error message "Cannot configure service. Please try again later". If I disable hotspot, then Waze would ask for a network to connect.

I got:

Main Soft : 31.00.cb

Android OS : 4.0.4

Linux Kernel : 3.1.10 (build@HL6) (gcc version 4.4.3) #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 6 06:16:56 JST 2014

Build : 01.083.00.0021.ada3s.20141206.055039

Found the link here in the forum with the upgrade versions (Honda_Connect box), but couldn't figure out the RC #. Based on the upgrade PDF for RC6 @ 9) , I suppose I got RC5.

Could you confirm please?

Also, would you have an idea how to solve the issue?

If it is RC5, then I should try upgrading to RC6. But I would do this as last step, if on RC5 it is not possible to fix it. I was wondering maybe Waze killed support for Android 4.0.4.

Thanks in advance for your guidance ;)

Hi there, I have the same exact issue, waze used to work fine until 1 week ago, now it is dead, it keeps searching network and then displays the error "Cannot configure service. Please try again later", even if spotify and other radio apps are finding the network connection and are working just fine... it may be an issue with waze, maybe they have decommissioned this old version that we are using?

[Security Discussion] pescatarian2021:
Hello Latinofreaks

All over this week i have been getting informations in papers, pdf and others to get the most complete informations for read the possible upgrade from RC4/RC5 to RC6 and RC6.1.

I promissed to try reboot first and some other simple resets and uninstal all Honda apps from my Honda unit to try again s.mike permitions before othe "radical solution".

I have a document that show the upgrade stages to RC6 and after to RC6.1 that i found in internet and o show you attacked here in this post.

My question is if to upgrade to RC6 this is the right docu and we must do that almost 61 stages for maked that upgrade?

Thsi is a long process that we will need 3 USB pendrives to be reserve with some data before instalation and all manual show us a long stage process to final upgrade.

I have now the RC6 and RC6.1 file but if i understand that file it will the software that it will be used to operation.

But we can't escape to read the all 61 stages of this denominated "Service Bulletin".

Am i right Latinofreaks?
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
Well, I used the cmdroid iso/zip file. It contains the Rc6 firmware. Transfered the zip file to my USB. Plugged it in the car. Pressed power+screen brightness button. It all booted and installed itself. I didn't unpack/unzip anything.

Concerning the "three pendrives". I can't see why we would need three pendrives?!. Maybe they just needed more usbs because of the "Fat 32" system filesize restrictions that is max "4gb". Or maybe they needed separate usbs for navigation maps updates etc... Or my last thought is that It could been used to save personal info phone/radio/photos just for the customer satisfaction. It would have sucked to leave your car for service at Honda, and then loose all your personal information and preferences. My fantasy just goes wild.

The thing is, I didn't need it. I just copied the zip file in one USB-pendrive. (you can actually se three files in the zip) don't unzip them. Just transfer the zip file in to the USB.

The Honda connect installed automatically, so it should mean that they have some form of installprogram that detects the file and filepaths.

So my answer is. Its Your choice. I tried it on my crv and it worked. If we have the same Honda connect version 1. With no "service maintainance schedule" built in, It should work for you to. This should just affect the "android radio". Not the entire car.

So if you want to go for it, do it.... If you don't feel safe enough for it.. Don't do it. It's your choice. Good luck!

Here's a video showing the process:
[Security Discussion] pescatarian2021:
You are the best my friend.

That video show's exactly my problem with permitions instalation...The option " instalation" can't activate it.

So the video shows that to solve the problem the upgrade was the solution!

Tell me...the file RC6 ISO for downgrade is the same than The RC6 ISO for upgrade?

Right?

Hi,

short anwser: I don't think it's ready to be released.

long answer: the app mostly works but there are some features that are still not available due to Honda Connect customization. For example, microphone (so google assistant), steering wheel buttons, phone call... these don't work. What works quite well is the android auto protocol, so you can use the apps that need only touch screen and audio (maps, youtube music, spotify...).

The experience overall on what work is good but it will never be like the offical app (or other porting) because of the Honda connect android version (4.0.4 is veeeeery old). There is some lag from the input and the response on screen. On top of this there are still many bugs to fix.
