Hi.

Not to sound too much like an a$$ but I wouldn't mind a mention on your site for rooting BlueStacks. The tutorial was also written by myself (with some formatting by Repin thanks) Repin did a ton with Google Play and moderating this thread. Others did some excellent testing...

Anyhow, sorry if I sound like I'm complaining.

Gonna try your upload of system.img, thanks for the contribution :)

why dont u download the full version, this is the first beta they posted, after that thety had 2 more but this is working for me:

www.softpedia.com/progDownload/BlueStacks-Download-198386.html

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

yes, titanium backup also says I have only 1.36MB Free

how is that possible they created a partition that small ? (total size: 162 MBj)

If we need to include some binary's on /system/bin or /bin we are done, not space at all.

​

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

please can you correct this line in the instructions:

_g.	Remount system read only - #adb shell mount -o ro,remount t-ext4 /dev/sdb1 /system

should read:

_g.	Remount system read only - #adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /system

For anyone not familiar with Linux mount command they don't know why the command terminate with just telling how the mount options should be.

Also I have a comment on the Adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555

When you issue that command, and after that you issue the command: Adb devices, it will show two devices, one called 'emulator-5554' and the second called: '127.0.0.1:555' so when one keeps through the tutorial and issue another Adb command it won't execute and instead it will tell you that you have more than one device, and in order to proceed I had to used for instance: Adb -s 127.0.0.1:55 shell ls to list the directories/files in that device.

So instead of using that adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555 I just used adb devices and then did all the commands normally (like adb shell).

Don't know if this is clear or not, but it may help someone else to go through.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] magnethart:
I found this too. I did notice on your second issue though that once I ran the regedits in the tutorial that it no longer showed two devices (emulator and 127.0.0.1:5555) as separate devices, it only showed one. ADB worked without any issues or having to direct it to the correct device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
hmm, but that's the way it should be done, you run the blueregistrymod file first, I did it just after the first installation. adb commands are toward the middle of the process. if you just run first

Adb kill-server

and then

Adb devices

you should see the emulator-5554 device. this one is connected to the Adb's server default port of 5037. If you connect this other device to port 5555 then now you have 2 connected devices to the same machine (virtual in this case).

But if you just issue that command (adb connect IP:port) and don't see the first device I mentioned, then it's OK to proceed with the rest of the Adb commands.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chrkad:
Awesome guide!

However, I think there is a typo in the "ADB" steps, namely step G.

It should be:

adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /system

Other than that, there was no problems following the guide and gaining root!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] J94w:
@rocketero

I did download the pro, then it stops halfway though the installation and tells me that they have to install the limited version because my graphics cant support there system.

-----

And im still having trouble with adb, it finds the emulator with out no problem, but keeps saying that its offline, and going back to BlueStacks, its always frozen at the boot screen
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tenet421:
Fixed Step 4. _g.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful feedback.

I updated my original tutorial in Post #57 with the needed fix to Step 4._g. However, I cannot change the lines in the repost by xRepinsSporsx.

Change:

4.

_g. Remount system read only - #adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /system

***Anyone interested in extending the size of system.img and has access to Linux\Ubuntu shoot me a pm.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] friedsonjm:
Nothing there anymore to download?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tenet421:
I need feedback please!!!

IMPORTANT:

I think using system.img instead of Root.fs is breaking the ARM emulation in BlueStacks. (I could be wrong...)

If you have root AND system r/w AND Angry Birds Space (ONLY!) working please let me know via a post here, pm, email, etc.

Thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] J94w:
Well if that is true, than is that the reason why my Bluestacks wont work after the mod?? Because it just sits there, trying to load itself.

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

EDIT:

Playing around trying to get Root, I noticed that the emulation does not freeze until I add the Registry Mod, is this supposed to happen? or am i doing something wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tenet421:
After I figure out why it is not working in the full edition (if I can) I will pull my graphics card and try to get it working on a non-accelerated BlueStacks installation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] J94w:
Well thanks man (or woman)!! I'm guessing that must be why mine wont work right because I am stuck with the limited version, unless there is some way to edit the installation files to accept my computer and get the full version.

I guess they think integrated Intel graphics aren't good enough for them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ajil:
I followed this thread and rooted my bluestacks a few weeks ago, and I can access the playstore just fine. I haven't tried to download any apps for a couple of weeks, and now when I try I get the error message "authentication is required. You need to sign into your google account." The default email address in settings is bluestacksrooted@gmail.com and I can't use it as I don't know the pw. So I added another account, but it doesn't seem to recognize that it exists. What exactly do I need to do?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
There are two things you can try on:

1) Click [Settings] icon on bottom right corner, then [Manage Accounts], then click on the old gmail account, then [Remove account]

2) Go to [Applications] -> [Manage applications] under Android "Settings", switch to [All] tab and find the following, enter and click on [Clear data] button:

- Google Play Store

- Google Services Framework
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ajil:
Thanks for the suggestions.

when I try to remove the bluestacksrooted gmail, I get a message saying this account is required by some applications. you can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults.

I did the other things you mentioned, and now when I try to open the play store it says error retrieving information from the server. [rh-01].

I think when I had it working I had correctly guessed the password for the bluestacksrooted gmail, (it was something simple like bluestacks or rooted) but I guess it has been changed now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ybdiel:
Hi all!

I installed BlueStacks last night and yes i read the older posts that play store identify it as T-Mobile Samsung GT-I9100 cause

of the build.prop backups that was included in BS.(after i freaked out and starting changing passswds and thought i got remote accessed somehow ROFL :laugh:)

My Question is why it also auto installed a Terminal Emulator (( Terminal Emulator ZTA Technologies, Inc )) and where is the need of it?

Sorry if the question is to silly but what ever i am new to this.

Thanks!!

I attempted to increase the size of the SDCard.sparsefs using BDT. BDT now believes the size is what I want, but BlueStacks still thinks the size is the smaller size. Do I now have to reformat the card in BlueStacks?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XtraartX:
You must create new Data.sparsefs to make bluestacks detect new size of SDCard, backup important application first with titanium backup, right now that the solution not effective enough but at least you can keep SDCard content.
