Yes it works well. By the way Honda issued a service bulletin specifically showing dealers how to look for HondaHack ( with screenshot). It tells them, if they find it, to have service managers come talk to you about how you're risking costly repairs that won't be covered by warranty... [MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] is famous. I can't attach the PDF here but search for 'A18050b' on Google and about half way down there a link to it on a civicx forum.

I haven't hidden mine in the past but will going forward.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Do you need codeage to restore after hiding?

And does it restore home screen app icons also?
[Android General] transmico:
Are you sure about that number “A18050b”. I searched on google but can’t find anything. I searched “Honda A18050b“ and “Honda Service bulletin A18050b“.

Thanks.

[Android General] transmico:
Thank you. It’s a good thing I uninstalled it before going to dealer.
[Android General] tdiman:
I would just hide it vs uninstall, it works well and it's designed for exactly this. Imo Risk in general is extremely low, especially if you are just side loading a few apks they codeage recommends. The more you muck around with the system with other root apps the more likely you are to screw things up.

This is a direct result of people getting head units replaced under warranty for something they did to it, either by not following instructions or getting deeper into the system itself.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Totally agree. As long as you stick to installing known apps discussed here its totally harmless.
[Android General] max8176:
So it will be recommended to hide the apps before going to dealer for servicing? I haven't try to use that function yet but have anyone tried it? I think someone mention there is a code you have to write down in order to retrieve the hide app on a website, correct? Anyone know how it works?
[Android General] Ludeape:
click hide apps, it gives you a link and a code to use to restore..

when your ready put the link in a browser, and input code when asked.. then it restores

thats it.. try it
[Android General] max8176:
Kind of scared will messed up. LOL

understand.. but there is no issues here.. its pretty safe.

I managed to install a few apps with the Updated 2018.01.14, One Click Root method with the HondaHack.zip file. Now, the unit is stuck at this "AUDIO APPS" screen and I can't get back to the homepage. I've tried resetting a few times with no luck. Any advice?
[Android General] Koldern:
Finaly manage to install Sygic on my pilot, but unable to make it read maps from the USB stick. Did you find a solution?
[Android General] tdiman:
You need to change the USB host mode back to device. This is the setting you changed in the head unit to start the whole process.
[Android General] poo1009:
It is can work with Honda Accord 2016?

I've tried, but I cannot go to the menu that change USB Role of head unit from Host to Device by holding "Home" button. It's nothing when press and hold Home in Developer Diagnosis Top menu in Honda Accord. Does anyone can help?
[Android General] Ludeape:
think people are talking about 2 different methods here.. The wireless method is much safer
[Android General] codeage:
I’ve found a method to enable write access to the USB drive on Accord & Pilot . You need to install Honda Hack pro version first. Please check out the tutorials here: http://www.autohack.org/enable-write-access-to-external-usb-storage-on-accord-pilot/
[Android General] codeage:
I’ve made the web based root method available for Accord & Pilot recently. Please check it out: http://www.autohack.org/

When is the 10th Gen Accord getting some love from you?

Thanks
[Android General] broly10000:
One more question, in these head units, is there a way to modify the audio profiles? I'm interested in removing the factory equalization, specially the one that changes whith the volume, so it stays flat no matter what the volume is.

Thanks
[Android General] seandop:
I think I've found that setting on the 10th gen Accord.
[Android General] broly10000:
Where?
[Android General] seandop:
Under Detail Information & Setting, press and hold Hone until the Developer Diagnosis Top menu appears. Under Audio setting, there is a PS toggle. I'm not positive, but I think this is what you're after.

I am unable to change my steering wheel controls using Basic version for 2017 crv.
[Android General] gcherian:
Hi - new to posting but long time lurker. Got a 2018 CRV - EXL, no nav.

Purchased the pro version to support codage - thank you.

Now I have some basic questions that I feel like an idiot asking - but here they are

1. How do I add USB memory to the HU - where do I plug in and how to enable it?

2. I want to download sygic maps to this USB drive

3. I have installed honda hack and also sygic but struggling with maps to USB.

All help would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Android General] equlizer:
you don't add memory, you add storage to the right usb. Enable wifi in your car if you are close to a hotspot or make one on your phone. Download maps to storage device or to your car (there is enough space for it)
[Android General] gcherian:
Thank you, I meant storage only not memory. Will try plugging in the right usb and trying. Will report back. TYVM.

Bad USB drive was culprit for the confusion ? all good now.
[Android General] krispin:
I have problem. Installed DSP flat, busybox and V4A. After installing V4A driver I lost sound from every source except radio. After uninstalling V4A driver sound got back to normal
[Android General] dreadlk:
I wish codage would include some automatic method of installing the needed files and options to use DSP flat in Hondahack. I would pay more for the upgrade.
[Android General] thieu90:
Did you reboot your HU after installation ?

If it still doesn't work, you can try to change the mode from normal mode to compatible mode (or the opposite). You can do this in menu, FX Compatible Mode set to Compatible Mode.
[Android General] Zerocool187:
Hi @ll,

everything's fine so far- I've rooted my HU and installed Honda Hack App (Pro) plus the installer. Ran several apps.

I once ran the "Repair" feature and since then I've got an issue where my HU randomly restarts(!) and loads to a bootloader which is unable to handle my request, can't choose another audio-source and stuff. - This restarts happens randomly, can't tell what causes them.

Plus, the garmin navigation app doesn't work, it simply shows a blank (black) screen and eventually the process is killed.

Any help, any suggestions?

It's a Civix Type-S
[Android General] krispin:
Thanks for advice, will try and let you know.
[Android General] jkchr1s:
Can anyone with a rooted unit on 1.F1A1.25 adb pull the settings apk? I'd rather not root my unit, but want to try to get the developer options password... maybe they were dumb enough to hard code it in there? :)

Or better yet, can anyone adb pull the entire filesystem from 1.F1A1.25 and upload it somewhere? :)
[Android General] dreadlk:
I wish we had a repository of the different backups of each version. It would be a great way of learning more about what files are used for each version and maybe even creating our own mixed interface..
[Android General] kotarou:
Just a Tip if any of you are having problems with the one click root.

On the latest windows 10 (With all updates) it's necessary to disable the windows defender via gpedit.msc

If possible disable the smart screen for applications on the control panel and restart.

I was having issues , because the application wasn't running or opening. Doing the procedure above solved the issue. You can undo this later after the root.

What is passcord for version 4.2.2 build 1.F.1A1.25? Honda 2017
[Android General] dreadlk:
There is only one passcode that works and you do not need it if your using the wireless hondahack. The code is listed in the first post of this thread.
[Android General] Victel:
I press 1,4,2,3 and nothing happens. I got my vehicle at the end of 2017. Is there another way or am I doing something wrong? What is the web based installation?
[Android General] mattj949:
Newer passcord!

I know what the "passcord" is to the newer builds: (tested and works on 2018 CR-V Touring (March 2018 build))

First, hit "Build number" the 7 times it takes to ask for the "passcord". No more than that!

Then, hit these buttons in the following sequence:

1. Kernel version

2. Model Number

3. Build number (Again!)

4. Status (Top item on the page)

Done. Enjoy!

Is there a way to reset my settings? I enabled overlay resolutions in my developer options and I can no longer use my screen at all and I can't disable them because I can't use my screen
[Android General] codeage:
Can you enter the diagnostics mode? If you can, you should try clearing user backup data there.
[Android General] Victel:
I can enter diagnostics but I can't tap anything. I have a small sliver of screen I can tap above the overlays and that's it.
[Android General] mattj949:
Crap. I'll see if I can get you some info on how to do a complete reset. You'll have to go get into the diag menu (which should work still and let you see it) and then clear all settings. Be careful in the developer settings.

Did you enable USB debugging by chance before you locked out the screen? It may be needed to reset.

Others here more familiar with this may have other ideas.
[Android General] Victel:
I can get into diagnostics but tapping anything on the screen doesn't work. Yes debugging is on
[Android General] codeage:
Connect your head unit with a laptop and execute the following command:

adb reboot recovery

Then wipe data & cache in the recovery.
[Android General] Victel:
Can you be more specific? Run that line in a command prompt? How do I wipe the cache?
[Android General] btonetbone:
Install this on the laptop, and you'll be able to run those ADB commands. And yes, the commands are done through a command prompt. Those instructions should take you to the Android Recovery on the head unit, where the reset options should exist.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Alternatively, try plugging a USB keyboard and/or mouse into your car's USB port. Maybe you can control things that way and correct the settings.
[Android General] Victel:
I installed ADB 1.3. Where do I access this command prompt to begin reseting my car?
[Android General] btonetbone:
You'll need to open the command prompt and get to the folder where ADB is installed. You can either simply open Command Prompt from your start menu and navigate inside using DOS commands. Or you can follow these instructions: https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-open-windows-command-prompt-any-folder.htm
[Android General] sheryip:

Adb server is out of date... killing

Is the message I'm getting when trying to recover my honda. I'm not sure if I'm accessing the command prompt wrong but there isn't an option to open with command prompt when I right click the adb application file so I've been opening with the regular command prompt and typing in the adb command. I also tried attaching a mouse and it doesn't work

No fix for "ALL:DEFAULT"?

I've been searching for days, bought the pro auto hack version. Yes, I'm happy with it, but no where can I find out how to get flat dsp for those of us who do not see EQ: ALL:eek:N. We only see ALL:DEFAULT and we cant change the setting to on or off. developer options unlocked, auto hack up and running. I'm at a loss. Also, I come from a 9th gen civic where I could just pop in my windows display adapter into HDMI port, open up VLC on my phone and cast my videos to it and it worked flawlessly. Trying to play videos off a USB stick is a nightmare. Calling it laggy would be a compliment. Do I need a newer USB drive(mine 128 GB, top of the line at the time, years ago). is it the file type? Frame rate too high? aspect ratio too high? Trying to find this information on this mega thread with the limited free time I have is painful is rough(60+ hour weeks, new baby in the family). Sorry if I'm coming across like a whiney new comer. I'm honestly grateful for codeage and his autohack, but if I could just nail these last couple of issues down I'd be living a dream.

Thank you in advance for anyone who tries to help, and honestly, to everyone who has helped other people struggling like me!
[Android General] tdiman:
Same issue, 5th gen CRV. I only get default also.
[Android General] mattj949:
You will need:

1. The latest "Minimal ADB and Fastboot": https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 (I used this one for mine)

2. The latest USB drivers (assuming Windows) from Google: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

3. A USB A to A cable like the one here: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Transfer-Enclosures-Printers-Cameras/dp/B00P0E394U (I used a similar one).

Note: If you are on Win10, you may have to disable Windows Defender while doing any of this.

Once you have those, the rest is semi-easy and just about anyone here can help.

However, If you want to install the Honda Hack, the web method described many times in this post is better.

I only posted the "passcord" for those that want to get into the developer options for other reasons.

I'll try to help you as much as I can if I'm around.

Cheers!

The EQ DSP flat is something I'm after as well. I'm about to put aftermarket amps in my CR-V and unfortunately, I have the "premium" sound system which has the separate amp. Not only is a ***** to get to, it obviously has some sort of audio curve that is not "flat" applied to it. I can possibly correct it with my (AudioControl DSP) DM-810 but the flatter the audio going in, the better it will sound.

I've dumped the entire ROM from mine and am going to try to figure out where that is being set so it can be changed permanently. I'd also like to permanently "unhide" the Browser app as well.
[Android General] Victel:
Technically I'm using a USB C to A cord since I only have my windows tablet. I wasn't sure if I wanted to root my Honda or not. Is that the only way to install apps onto it? Also the web browser described in the hidden menu isn't displayed for me, where others click to enable it, it's simply not there for me. I'll try your method
[Android General] mattj949:
I don't know about using a Windows Tablet. I've only used a full laptop, but as long as it is not an "RT" version tablet, it should work.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Browser unhide for newer builds/units:

To get into the menus, etc. on the newer head units: (ones with the physical volume/power button)

Hold PHONE + Physical Power button + Brightness all at once to get to the "Detail Information & Setting" screen (bottom option of 2).

Once there, choose "Detail Information & Setting"

Once you press that you'll have a whole screen full of large buttons.

Next hit the "PHONE" button for 5 seconds until another screen with a bunch of scrollable text options appears.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OPTIONAL: To set the USB mode to "Device" for ADB connections:

While at the scrollable text options screen, press and hold "HOME" (top option on mine) for 5 seconds

until the USB port configuration comes up, and set USB port 1 (The one where the Carplay/Android auto

plugs in) to "DEVICE" mode. You will want to leave this up while connecting via ADB.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Enabling web browser continued...)

While at the scrollable text options screen, scroll down with your fingers to get to "Special function setting" and then tap on that.

The next screen there should be a button that says "Cancel Android Restriction". Tap that once and then hit return all the way back to the normal screen.

Go into the Apps screen and you should now have a browser in the app list. Of course, you need to tether the head unit off of Wi-Fi (I use my phone hotspot) to get it to be of any use. If you reset the vehicle, the browser will disappear again until you do the procedure over again.

Then you go to the autohack website from Codeage and follow the instructions there.

Important note: AFter installing the "Honda Hack" it asks you to reboot. The button sequence it gives for the reboot is not correct on this model.

To reboot: Hold the "PHONE" button + the physical power button for 5 seconds until it prompts you to reboot or not.

*IF* you get the dreaded "Software Update" page, turn the car off, walk away and leave it for 1-2 hours and when you come back it will be OK. This has been my experience.

I can make a video of any or all of this if need be and get it to you.

I have 2 Civics running hondahack. Upon receiving the upgrade notice several weeks ago, I allowed the first Civic to download and install the upgrade. It worked perfectly. I didn't have time to try upgrading the other car (currently running 3.6.1) until this weekend and when I try upgrading it, it briefly shows the file transfer dialog box, but then fails almost immediately with the following error dialog:

The wifi works fine, but to be sure I tried connecting through 2 other different wifi networks and I keep getting the same error.

How can I get this upgrade to go through?

Has anyone had any luck downloading spotify songs/playlists to a usb and having it stay? I have a limited data plan on mobile and would like to download the "extreme" quality. It works fine when I download them to usb while on my home wifi but once I restart the car everything is lost and i have to do it all over again. I have the pro auto hack version. I've been hesitant to mess around too much with the deeper settings as I'm not *super* tech savvy. Write access is enabled also. My usb has more than enough room to hold my play lists. Any help greatly appreciated!

Edit: if it matters, I do have all of the extreme quality tracks saved on my phone's SD card(s7 edge). Not sure if that's relevant or not(my phone obviously has the current version of spotify.)

Edit 2: so sometimes it will keep songs if I download the whole Playlist. It seems the write to external source option resets once in a while and ruins everything.

[Android General] ElusiveJones:
Have you had any luck finding this setting? I've been scouring the file explorer that comes with AutoHack and I feel like I've gotten close to the right locations, but I do not know enough to do confidently start editing code. It seems like there's separate commands for each type of audio input and no "master" audio folder/file that will allow me to remove the "all:default" setting from syscom, which allow me to flatten the DSP manually and also allow DSP Flat apk to function. For now, at least, I'll remain content that at least using Spotify on the HU has better sound.

Okay I got my car fixed. I have developer options enabled and usb debugging. I have access to the web browser as well. Now I want to add youtube, vlc player, google maps and other apps.

If I do choose to use the web browser method on the car for root, how do I know if i have the right Honda version and that the root won't mess it up?

Also as a warning, NEVER enable 'disable hw overlays' under developer options. It is what broke my display and made it unresponsive.
