Wow that's incredible! If I could get Waze running, I wouldn't need anything else lol
[Android General] purespin:
Yes, I can have Waze (along with Spotify) show up in the apps list, following jersacct's instruction below.

But both apps failed to start, giving me blank page.

But as soon as I reboot the HU, both apps disappear from the apps list. I think that's what I have done before: I always reboot the HU after copying the apk files. That's why I never saw them in the apps list before. Now a few seconds after I copied the apk file, I can see them show up in the apps list.

Now we need to find a way to make the apps work, and need to keep them in the apps list as well.

As you can see, it disappear after the reboot :(

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

BTW, those disappeared apps are still in the /system/app/ folder. It looks like they are checked and blacklisted during startup. To get them back to the apps list, moving them to /tmp/ folder and move them back to /system/app/ will do the trick.
[Android General] anekin007:
Waze or spotify won't work because the permissions for video/audio isn't set. I have ES file explorer running fine but won't load after reboot. If you hold the icon on the app drawer and save it to the home launcher page after the reboot the icon is still there but when you click on it it says app isn't installed and disappears. If you click the home button that will refresh the home page and icon reappears again but still says app isn't installed.

[Android General] purespin:
I haven't followed the EU thread closely. But is there a home-made app to set permissions for the installed apps? Maybe we can ask there to get some info.
[Android General] jersacct:
Not sure they'd be able to help much unless someone there happens to have a Pilot or same head unit. The protection mechanisms on their systems are different, and apparently much easier to circumvent.

Given the problem of things getting reset on reboot and the inability to specify allowed apps in different car modes, I think it's best to dig into the whitelist mechanism a little more and explore what may be going on during the boot process.
[Android General] anekin007:
Damn. I bricked my unit. It's boot looping the Honda splash animation. Anyone know how to boot into recovery?
[Android General] enyce9:
Ouch, jersacct did the same thing if I remember correctly. He had to bring it into Honda.
[Android General] jersacct:
I tried all sorts of stuff to get it into some sort of recovery state, mostly surrounding the buttons on the touch panel itself. Now that I think about it though, I didn't try holding any buttons on the steering controls.

If all else fails, hope yours is still under warranty!
[Android General] anekin007:
I did so much mods on the audio system I don't think Honda will cover under warranty. Just drop $850 on the 2017 pilot unit. Hope it works with the 2016 screen.
[Android General] enyce9:
Doesn't the unit flash updates from a USB thumb drive? Wonder if it scans for a drive at boot, maybe it might break the loop..... Did anyone try booting with a thumb drive inserted?
[Android General] anekin007:
Flash drive updates are for the Garmin navigation. Small security or bug fixes are done OTA. Had OTA updates already but didn't see any difference. Any other software issues Honda just does a replacement with a refurb or new unit. The headunit is a made by a third party and techs are just trained on Honda software not android. Honda doesn't even have the wiring layout for the screen to the black box so I'm crossing my fingers that it matches or else I have to fork over another 800 for a screen. The part number last digit is different but the press release says the screen of the 2017 was coated to show less fingerprints.

Only way can fix this is boot into recovery but I tried every technique from different manufacture and no luck. Rear and side camera still works tho.
[Android General] enyce9:
Ugh.... That sucks.
[Android General] ericlus15:
Sorry to hear about your display, if you end up getting the 2017 unit can you let us know where you got it and if it works with the 2016 display model and if carplay works. I saw on the honda website the 2017 pilot now includes android auto and apple carplay. Would be nice if we can just swap the 2016 unit for the 2017 and have apple carplay/android auto for about $850. Thanks

Model of TypeA-to-TypeA USB cable

Hello,

No one in this forum gives the precision the type of Type A-to-Type A USB cable should be used. Is it a simple Type A-to-Type A USB cable or a Type A-to-Type A with a bridge.

(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OTPVMY/ref=pd_luc_rh_sspa_dk_huc_pt_sub_0?psc=1)

I have read if you sure a simple type-to-Type A USB cable, you can burn your USB port on either peripheral (computer USB or Honda head unit USB).

Plus confirmed and let us know.

Regards
[Android General] surface13:
I apologize, but it was difficult to understand your post. Why is it you're looking for an A to A USB cable?

You're able to gain root via wifi. And remember, this is for 2016/17 Pilot and Accord

I have already activated the developper mode and activate the usb debugger on my Honda Civic 2016, now i need to Root it and install Honda_Hack.apk so that i can istall any apk and do what ever i want to, even install Google Map with offline maps.

Honda Hack?

Hi all, been following the thread for over a year and finally took the plunge and followed [MENTION=7380757]Living Lejuhnd[/MENTION] excellent guide on my 17' Pilot. Went super smooth and got Waze 4.36.0.9 beta running currently. Even managed to change the voice to Morgan Freeman using Root Explorer and some inspiration from another guide I found on this forum. https://xdaforums.com/xposed/request-waze-module-to-allow-voice-packs-t3649470

I also installed the HondaHack.apk by [MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] from the Civic forum here

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-how-to-enter-developer-mode-2017-t3621582

HondaHack makes it easier to install apps and update the whitelist without having to use OneClick and a laptop everytime. For me the InstallUSB function on the HU didn't always work (possibly whitelist issue) but don't need to bother with that anymore.

Has anyone else installed HondaHack.apk and tried to do the steering wheel button remapping. Mine is all greyed out and I'm wondering what other functions people are using that work on the Pilot since the original app was written for Civic and has been slightly modified to include Pilot and Accord.

Also what other apps are people using?
[Android General] peteve:

[Android General] lexman098:
Did you guys ever get a fix for this? I'm still getting "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]" as well.
[Android General] surface13:
Which part is your issue? [MENTION=8012636]break_thru[/MENTION]'s issue is/was needing java

If you're not getting a signature, you probably have to install or update java on your computer/laptop

If you have already cleaned up your whitelist to where you only have 1 entry per app, you should be able to install via usb
[Android General] Koldern:
Well, I think you are right, I will have to factory reset my HU and try all over again.

But, I can't even find my factory_reset.sh file. I think you've got a Pilot 2017 also. Do you still have your copy of it? And witch version it is? RES, NAV?

Silly question, whats stopping is from flashing 17 software to the 16 head unit so we can have Android auto?
[Android General] lexman098:
It's getting a signature. It shows it in the log after the install failed. I can see the signature in the whitelist as well. I checked to ensure it only had one entry per app. I removed the entry for the app I'm trying to install (MX player) then tried again. Still didn't work. After it added to the whitelist I tried doing an adb install of the apk with the same error message at the end. Not really sure why it isn't working at this point. Is there a manual procedure over ADB I can try?
[Android General] surface13:
Another possibility is that the version you're using isn't compatible with the android version of the HU. Try this one that is for universal architecture, and Android 4.0+

Other than that, not sure why it wouldn't be installing. Unless you don't have enough storage left on the HU

These HUs are ARM architecture and on Android 4.2.2
[Android General] lexman098:
Didn't work, same error.
[Android General] Koldern:
You were right. I reset my HU with the factory reset.sh file you posted and I restarted all over again. And it worked! Now the Honda Hack is installed on my HU! And I didn't take the chance, it's the first app that I installed when using the oneclickinstall.bat. After that, all my apps (waze,vlc,es explorer, google maps) were installed via the honda hack installer with a usb drive.

Thanks you!
[Android General] surface13:
Looks like [MENTION=8387523]Koldern[/MENTION] had a similar issue as you. He pushed the original factory_reset.sh, ran a factory reset, then installed HondaHack first, then install all other apk's using the hondahack app. Might want to try that. What car do you have? There is probably a stock factory_reset.sh file here. I have one for '16 Honda Accord Touring, and for '17 Honda Pilot Touring

Second APK Failure

Hey Everyone,

First i would like to thank everyone on this forum for providing such great info. I was able to root and install waze apk on my 2016 pilot. However when i go to install a second apk for the volume i am getting the

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

error message. I checked my whitelist and it is clean no other apps in there besides waze.

I also tried to install apk via USB however install option is grayed out.

On a positive note i was able to bypass the distracted drive stuff by holding down the waze icon in the apps folder and moving it to the home screen. I can now switch between waze and all other builtin honda apps while driving.

Anyone have any idea why i cannot install second apk since first one went through ok? I have tried a few different types of Volume application apks and they all gave same result.

thanks,

Albee
[Android General] ispofe:
Hi, if the install button is greyed out it means that there is no keystore for the volume app in your whitelist.xml.

This is confirmed by you saying you have only Waze in your whitelist.

Also, make sure the name of the volume apk is simple/short with no space or special characters.

You have to run the oneclickinstall script again and replace Waze.apk with the volume app apk. Make sure the apk is in the same folder.

This should update your whitelist with the necessary keystore code and parameters, then install the app.

One more thing, I used the A-Volume widget app by Serkun, in case you need one that was proved to work.
[Android General] ispofe:
Glad your were able to figure out the missing line in the whitelist and solve the problem.

I had issues with the whitelist.xml at some point too, but I figured out how to edit and push it manually which is the better way to fix errors.
[Android General] albee1012:
yes i agree i rather modify it myself and push it manually ...much easier that way
[Android General] Madkimchi:
i tried to install volume.apk and wave.apk and i am getting INTERNAL FAILURE error at the end. I even tried to put it in USB stick and the "install" button is grayed out. can someone teach me how to push factory reset file to my HU? i have no clue how to do this. thx.
[Android General] albee1012:
i use the following to manually push the whitelist.xml file..the code is the same for the factory reset file im just not sure where directory its located in :

Hi, I need some help. I have a 2016 Pilot that's rooted and Waze installed. However, I must have messed something up afterwards because "adb reboot" doesn't reboot my HU anymore. My attempt to fix this was to push the original factory_reset.sh (2016 ex-l non-nav that I downloaded here). Pushing the file was successful, but my HU freezes/hangs when I try "factory data reset" in the system menu. Luckily the HU still boots when I turn the car on and off.

Actually, I’ve replaced the factory reset file in the past with the 2016 one. I’m not sure if I did it correctly since I tried factory resetting yesterday and my HU didn’t do anything other than just restart.

I re-pushed the my 2017 accord with the 2016 file and factory reset my HU. Didn’t check the settings. Except this morning, when I went to change the settings back, I noticed the settings were incorrectly grouped (nothing under the groups) but they were all listed under general settings. But now, they seemed to have correctly grouped themselves and everything is working.

Very very odd.

Sorry I’m a noob so noob questions incoming.

I have rooted my 2016 Honda Pilot Touring with the OneClickInstall method . I have also successfully downloaded Waze and YouTube, but the primary reason for rooting was to have CarPlay on my HUD and to that end I was trying to download the CarPlayBox API but I keep getting [Install_Failed_Internal_Error].

I intend to clean my whitelist and try it again but if all else fails, I may have to factory reset using the .sh file. Can you please let me know the best way to move ahead? I also have enabled USB debugging but cannot get to the next menu by holding the home button so installing through usb is greed out. I do not have ES Explorer installed on my HUD so editing the whitelist might be a problem.

Is there a step by step on:

1. Editing whitelist when no ES Explorer is not installed

2. Pushing the original factory reset file into the HUD

How Install a Apps Honda HR-V 2016 Europe

I was able to install applications in my Honda HR-V 2016 European version, doing the following procedures:

1) First I did a factory Reset to the CM.

2) Then i installed the applications on the site cmdroid.com ( Very Important do not perform any update to the CM before installing all desire apps from the site )

4) Install the PERMISSIONS 1.1 S_MIKE app, very important to manage to work with the navigation app and other apps when you are driving (follow de tutorial on the site to unlock that function).

3 ) After update the installation of the apps you can update the CM.

Note if anyone update the central and try to install any app that will not work, you have to perform a factory reset to the cm again, and follow the procedure again.

This procedure work fine for me.
