Hi there, could you please try executing "/data/local/tmp/rootme/su" before executing nefarious.sh? I am not sure if I did this step.
[Android General] levi-ch:
while i trying to conect head unit,my pc show install drivers failed!!! anyone has same problem?
[Android General] codeage:
I figured it out finally.

Firstly, try this link: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html. If there are still problems, try these steps:

1. Open your Home folder, generally it should be C:\Users\YourName.

2. Open the hidden folder ".android" (create if not exists).

3. Ope the folder ".android" and open file adb_usb.ini (create if not exists).

4. Add this line to adb_usb.ini and save it. BTW, I found the ID of Mitsubishi here: https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/

0x06d3

5. Restart Windows.

I guess this can't be good. Got the unit to root. Went to install an app. Rebooted the unit. Came up to this. Tried reboots and clearing cache even factory reset. Nothing. Damnit!

Wait until reboot approx 30 mins or disconnect the battery.

Some case the service reminder would show and need to get Honda to reset. Just tell them we disconnect the battery.

[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION]

Thanks for the enhancements.

I was trying to understand the new tool to determine if I needed to run it, I have already done all the manual steps using the previous scripts, and even done parking / usb access ... through other documented methods.

Do you recommend to still run the HondaHack? and if so, what would be the benefit, and what should be the proper path? Need to restore to factory settings? (would hate to lose all the customizations that I have already done to my HU)

Like others who have already suggested, I wouldn't want an App named HondaHack blatantly visible on my HU.

I would like to support you by purchasing / donating, but would rather do things manually.

I prefer learning / understanding the steps involved and the effects (your original scripts are awesome for that) this way I can get myself out of trouble if / when anything goes wrong.

For users who donate/support you, would you answer questions (privately of course) and provide manual step details of the Android changes that you don't publicly disclose for features that are not scripted?

Lastly, can you see the comments in the attached screenshot if I got anything wrong?

Thanks

To those who rooted the Unit: Apps like Googlemaps, Waze and so on needs an internet connection to work. When installing those Apps, how do you get the internet connection? USB, WLAN, Bluetooth? Does a normal bluetooth connection between Unit and smartphone allow the apps on the unit to get internet or is a bluetooth tethering needed?

[Android General] kwalsh24:
So I've been looking at the 2017 civic and won't lie, the radio is one of the reasons that I'm looking at it to be my next car. Normally the first thing to go in my car is a after market Android radio. So the question is, how good is the factory Android radio now with all the modifications that can be done to it?

Also been looking but haven't been able to find out, what are the radio specs? Cpu speed, ram, internal storage for apps \ files (if any)

Thanks!
[Android General] egodriver07:
It's slow AF. Especially once you start doing modifications such as this. That's all you need to know.
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Ah that sucks! I really only use online audio streaming and gps software (igo mainly) on my current setup.

What's others people take on the mods? Anyone have a demo video of what the unit can do once it has been modded to show performance? As what one feels is slow might be adequate for others.

So it's all flash and nothing else? Like would be a pita to replace seeing how the HVAC controls and a bunch of other things run thru the ujit

Waze Audio Volume

Hi - having rooted and installed Apps (which is cool - great work and I immediately updated to Pro) the only major problem I have is the sound for Waze is too quiet and cannot be increased.

The main driver (no pun intended) for me to root was to install Waze natively on the HU. It works great and I have enabled the option to play through the phone speaker so the sound comes out without interrupting whatever source (usually DAB radio) that I am playing. However the volume of Waze is just tooooo quiet. I have tried everything I can think of to improve the situation including making sure the volume in the app is at 100%, installing volume boosters, taking control of the volume faders etc etc - but with no success. If I try and increase the volume using the steering wheel or HU controls when Waze is talking nothing happens at all, if I do it when the radio is playing then it only increases the radio volume and Waze becomes even less audible as its volume stays low and is now completely drowned out by the radio.

Long story short - has anybody found a way of overcoming this issues - any way to significant boost or alter the Waze volume whilst still being able to here the radio at an good volume. Naturally if I turn the radio down to about five I can hear Waze OK - but almost no point in having the radio on (or any other source such as MP3s etc).

If there any fix for this? Or way around it! Otherwise, it would be spot on!
[Android General] philipcs:
connect your phone to the car handfree, call your phone from another phone and answer with Car handfree, now you can adjust the volume of the handfree speaker.
[Android General] workshop:
Have tried this but no luck. I think that fix is for when you have Waze on your phone or using Android auto. I have Waze installed on the head unit via the hack in the OP.

Hope somebody has some ideas....?

Unless I have missed something?

[Android General] justinjsp:
I don't seem to be able to get this to work on my mac. I downloaded the tools you indicated, but still nada. I also downloaded android-platform-tools and android studio, but nothing seems to work. It's not showing up on my mac. I am using a usb-c to usb-a cable. Not sure if the cable is a dud or something, but wondering if you have any insight.

UPDATE: The cable was definitely bad, so I bought a data transfer cable (which was useless, because it had some on-board software built-in to it), so I bought a USB-C to USB-A sync cable and I still have no luck. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my computer, as I'm able to see my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 in "adb devices", but I have no such luck when I plug into the HU. It just absolutely does not show up on my computer, either in Mac or Windows (not even as an unrecognized device).

I have the HU set to Device Mode and the USB Debugging turned on, but I'm at a loss. I've ordered a regular male-male USB-A cable from Amazon, which should be delivered on Sunday, but I'm not entirely convinced that that will solve the problem.

When I'm in HOST mode, the HU recognizes my computer and shows my computer's VendorID on-screen. As soon as I change it to device, there seems to be no connection. Now, it MIGHT be that the cable has firmware in it that prevents the reversing of data (it's essentially a phone charge & sync cable), but I doubt that would be it.

here's my setup:

MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2016)

Insignia USB-C to USB-A Charge & Sync Cable

2017 Honda Civic Sport Touring with the early 2017 build. (I think January 2017 is when it was signed, based on Device Information)

Could the hatchbacks have a block? Has anyone succeeded at rooting the display on a hatchback? I know that the HU software update at my dealer explicitly said that it was not for the hatchback.

Finally, if I get this all figured out, is there a way to enable the swipe-to-mute function on the steering wheel? That's disabled (who knows why?) on the hatchbacks. Likewise, does anyone know how to get HondaHack Pro?

Thanks and sorry for the excessively long post.

If you have access, use Windows. I couldn’t get the root process to work on my Mac either. I used my Windows VM on my Mac and worked fine using just platform tools.
[Android General] justinjsp:
Yeah, that didn’t work for me. I think my HU is a dud anyway. I didn’t change anything on it and it is now completely dead. I’ve had problems from Day 1 with it. I feel like I’m the only one who gets a bricked HU without having actually tried to root it.

I use VMWare Fusion and it didn’t recognize it in Windows through VM Fusion either.

Any idea how to get to recovery? A couple of days after I got the car, it froze up and then after I rebooted it with the power button, it was in the Android Recovery Mode. But I don’t know how to get in there again. I think I have some corrupt system files.

Dealer was already replacing the whole HU before it bricked, because of other issues, but now nothing works. The thing might have just completely died, but I now have to wait months because my HU is on backorder.

I made the mistake of buying the car shortly after it was released last year. It has a different build than the 2016 and late 2017s.

Hi,

Could you please give me some detailed information on how to make the DSP flat?
[Android General] cttw1980:
Hi codeage, the following are the steps on making the DSP flat.

Step 1 - Go tot he diagnostics menu by holding Brightness, Power, and menu for a few seconds.

Step 2 - Tap Detail Information and Setting

Step 3 - Hold Menu to bring up the third menu

Step 4 - Hold menu again until a menu saying Factory Diag shows up

Step 5 - Select Syscom Free Mode

Step 6 - Use the onscreen buttons to navigate to the Fix-EQ option

Step 7 - Change the option to EQ OFF (FLAT)

Manually it will reset to default when everytime we start the car. Please help to see if there is anyway to make it an option in the Honda hack app.

Thanks alot.

Hi Codeage and all honda civic 2017 Hu root friend,

I installed one click root on my civic 2017 hu. It works well so far for a week. Yesterday i made a big mistake i stop the engine while the hu was rebooting. When i restarted the engine again, the hu was not completed boot. Now the symptons are :_

1. there is no menu, it stucks with the H logo

2. When make a reverse, back camera video shows no mark line.

3. If i randomly touch the screen ie. Presumly, touch an app icon, it still works, even the app Honda Hack!

4.i can touch menu in any app and it partly works ie. if i touch uninstall an app in the Honda hack it shows the installed applications list in the hu. When i select the app to uninstall, it keeps silent, no more work further.

5. All connection is still working well, i can make a bluetooth phone call, and a Wifi connection.

So i ask you a favour if you can help in case i get my car to dealer to get the radio exchange, i need to...

1. Uninstall all apps i made with the Honda hack. So that the dealer will not compromise my Hu.

2. If possible there is a way to do a factory data reset. (I cannot randomly touch, the menu is too deep.) Via a wifi or usb connection.

Or any guy experienced like this please suggest.

Thank you

Here is the Tasker method I found playing with LogCat.

View attachment 4416058

This takes you directly to the part where you have to navigate through Func buttons onscreen, I installed RepetiTouch Pro and recorded the next sequence once Syscom Free Mode was up.

Func2 -> Func3 -> Func2 and then Back button and done.

Having done this countless time I can tell the following:

Once done, you can restart the HU and it will remain, so I guess that setting is stored temporary elsewhere.

2017 honda civil hatchback my car .. I activated the developer options in the information system and installed the superSu program. System failed during SuperSU version upgrade.loading was stopped by 25%. information system.

This is my friend's fault. he withdrew his information system insurance. The information system is no longer working. Damn it. The software update says 25% and freezes. warning message

"there was a problem reading the USB Device. please switch off the vehicle then restart to retry."

another message appears after a while:

"copying snap shot to USB device...."

I try to connect to the information system again from the computer but I can not see the usb port.Probably because our energy was turned off during the installation of the information system. we switched off the options of the usb connection point developers.

no keys on the screen are working. How do I activate the USB port? I want to restore the system to software completion or factory settings?

I apologize if I write wrong division. He asked for help from Servisten, but he is unaware of me. the authorized service agent could not help me. because they do not know the system and there is no technical intervention or information.

I looked at the forum a little but I could not find it. what are the steps I need to take? can you tell me how to do it? I am not very good in software. nothing in the information system is working. back view camera, climate settings, music, radio nothing. please urgent assistance. I'm sorry for my bad english.

1. As Codeage suggested me to adb and have a factory data reset, it can be connected by a wifi adb tcpip:5000 but it said device offline. If i can make it online it may be recoverable. Thanks Codeage.

2. I installed the app "com.autolauncher.motorcar.free" before the HU cracked and found later that the app has a system control menu which is the same as you found in setting, including a menu "Factory Data Reset" but the confirm delete is not functioning.
