I had this problem too, i think it is because you have installed the limited version of BS. Use the thin-installer to see if you get this message.

I am not a complete idiot, however i can't figure this out.

I am trying to replace the root.fs but it doesn't exist...

I am in C:\Program Files\BlueStacks

C:\ProgramData does not exist on my computer (i am using win xp on parallels.)

any suggestions?

I really want to get this working rooted

0.7.0.725 - No dice either

Figured I'd chime in, since I have just spent the last 2 hours uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. bluestacks, when I realized the version on the server listed at the beginning of this thread is 0.6.3.068, and my version (downloaded straight from bluestacks' site) was 0.7.0.725. I have been unable to get this to work with 0.7.0.725 - same issue as a couple of other people have mentioned (the toolbar hovers at the top of the screen, it shows a loading screen which disappears, and that's it. No apps load, etc.) Adb does not want to get root with this version.

I'm about to try it again with the 0.6.3.068 and keep my fingers crossed. However, anyone else having the above issue, make sure you're using the version hosted at the link at the beginning of this thread.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Yep, that was the issue. Simple solution, just not something I thought of earlier. Simply follow the instructions and you'll all do fine. However, I was unable to locate ADW/ADW EX on Google Play since it said my device wouldn't support it, so I had to copy the apk from another device in order to install it.

Otherwise, smooth as silk - many thanks to those who take the time to do all of this stuff for nothing but the experience and mad props from everyone :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Scorpius666:
This method only works with BlueStacks 0.6.3.0686 and the link is provided in the first post.

Now, is there a way to get root in BlueStacks 0.7? I have downloaded from their website 0.7.2.751 and this version is way nicer and cleaner, and also the SIM is simulated better (for example you can register with Whatsapp with this one, but it fails miserably with 0.6.3.0686).

It would be really nice to get BlueStacks 0.7.2.751 rooted...

help needed

i iinstalled this several times following instructions to the letter downloaded all but it still hangs on loading screen in windows 7. can anyone who has it working download the fully working version by copying their bluestacks folders data etc from their machine and post a link where we can download it and then wed just have to change the registry tweak change uid just a suggestion dont know if it would work but id be willing to try it. as i think this would be easier for everyone to get it working right.

thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Scorpius666:
maddoc1007 it only works with BlueStacks 0.6.3.0686 and the link is provided in the first post (click on the very first link of the first post and then go to "BlueStacks installer" and get the file with the .msi extension).

I'm pretty sure you downloaded BlueStacks from their website so you got a BlueStacks >= 0.7 and that's why it doesn't work for you.

And I hope everybody else reads this post because it seems a lot of people is making the same mistake over and over.

Can i install clockworkmod recovery on it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LfcFan1977:
@xRepinsSporx

Personally, I don't think it is clear (in the post #3) which file to use as the installer.

I tried the BlueStacks-ThinInstaller_0.6.3.0686.exe a couple of times before using BlueStacks_HD_AppPlayerPro_setup_0.6.3.0686_REL.msi to get it successfully installed on Windows 7.

The rest of the instructions are very good, thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] maddoc1007:
i installed version from first post was working till i followed other steps for rooting
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Scorpius666:
You just need to install the .msi file from the first post and then follow the third post exactly. It works, I just re-did it all over again.

Anyway if you guys have tried a 0.7 beta, you'd realize is WAY nicer. We do need a rooting method for >= 0.7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RomWiz:
After rooting adb can't find it :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LfcFan1977:
Try "adb connect emulator-5554" or "adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RomWiz:
Will try.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaizer216:
I did the step 1 to step 4 correctly but everytime I connect to 127.0.0.1:5555 and entering adb root, it either says error:device offline or error:more than one device or emulator. I tried to restart my pc and the command adb kill-server and adb start-server and still, these problems persist. Any suggestion?

I now got it to work. But I can't seem to inject the su.x86. It is in the same directory of the cmd C:\Users\Name.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RomWiz:
It should be in the same directory as adb
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaizer216:
So it should be on android-sdk/platform-tools right? Is it normal that everytime I enter the command adb push su.x86, the adb shows a long list of all the commands it can do?

I get it now. I got a problem starting the adb. -_- since it's my first time using adb. Thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RomWiz:
Yes

I think it is because you don't have the file there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kilcrop:
New version?

Thanks for your guide it worked perfectly.

However im face with limitation of this version.

Is it possible to root version 0.7.2.751 ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darks1der:

So I'm looking at the instructions and it says to put files in the /bst/data (or was it /data/bst which ever) folder. Now I've looked but I cannot find that file path anywhere. Do I have to create that path or cand someone provide the full file path please? Thank you.

***EDIT*** Disregard last message. Found a set of instructions that were more clear. Also when I try to do this command: adb shell rm /system/xbin/su it comes back as file or directory not found

Hi guys!

After doing all the previous steps, and applying the BlueRegistryMOD.reg, my blustacks gets stuck at the starting screen.

I have the 0.7.2.751 version. I cannot install the 0.6.xx version because it gives me an error about some sidebar I do not have...

Is there any way to get root access on the latest version?

Getting the correct "system.img" file for my version will make it work? Extracted the system.img from root.fs original file and still stuck at loading screen.

Cheers!

It seems, that the new version has Google play store integrated already.

After installing ADW-Launcher, you can see the icon on the home screen.:good:

So I only changed the "hosts" file, because of the crappy, annoying ads.

After installing BlueStacks open up Registry Editor. Browse to -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\BlueStacks and Select it in the node tree on the left. Your GUID is under one of the key names listed in the listview on the right.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RockyAJ:
i followed your steps to the point,and now the application keeps "loading...."

what can i do to fix it other than uninstall and reinstall?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GuerillaMaab:
Ok so i knew exactly NOTHING from the begin. Now i managed to work out everything... So i thought after re-try for about 7 times.

First i didn't have a clue what to do.

Was stuck with downloading the files needed. Then i started downloading vending and google framwork none of them worked since i have to be rooted first.

I go back to uninstall all and re try.

I start with getting stuck at guid. find out after 2 hours what guid is.

Then i was stuck with sdk tools and adb.

Worst thing ever for me was ADB oooh the headaches..

I tried starting adb several times through adb.exe.

Then i googled adb and found out you gotta use cmd.

I get stuck at cmd.

I know no commands on cmd. finally found help on google once again.

Now i'm stuck at adb connect. Why? Because it doesn't work that's why.

I know i have done nothing wrong. So it must have something to do with the NEW VERSION of bluestacks. If not please guide me.

The tutorial is nothing but trouble for beginners like me.

I had to go through alot of crap and text from google.

Please explain more proper so EVERYONE can do this.

Thanks.

P.S I still need help to root. I'm stuck at adb connect..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] carapauzinho:
I think the problem is the Bluestacks version. I could not root it either and got stuck on loading screen and therefore I cannot connect through adb.

I tried to extract the system.img file from root.fs from the newest version and still not working...

I would appreciate some help on this, since I cannot install an older version of Bluestacks.

Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RockyAJ:
adb devices starts adb but i think its the version of bluestacks cuz i followed the steps to the point and didn't work for me.so an update would be nice
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
adb start-server = start adb daemon

adb kill-server = stop adb daemon

adb remount = remount system rw

You can also open a command prompt where adb resides and type - adb /help

to get a complete list of command line options.

Easiest way to do the above::

1) go to folder where adb resides.

2) create a .bat file with the following

@echo off

cmd.exe

3) save it. Then click to open.

This will open a command prompt in the path where adb resides. You can then do as I suggested at the beginning of this post.

App history

Hi,

In order to gain some game offers I need to unistall/install bluestacks several times.

Installing/ unsitalling the game app is not enough. It seems that bluestacks keeps some apps record somewhere...

Do you know a way to remove the app (or the history) without the need to unistall the bluestacks?

Or there is any software that can save an image of a fresh install? That way I can always revert the instalation.

Thanks!!

Hello, I wish to root BlueStacks but am a bit confused when it comes to the version I should be using. I just downloaded the latest build (apparently) from bluestacksdotcom. If this build is not compatible with the guide can anybody please link the correct build I should be using ? Also, I don't think I really need google play (what are the advantages anyway ?), so if there is just an easy straightforward way to root the latest version of BlueStacks that would be great.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 6xSnake6x:
Ok, I understand that. What I wish to know is, which version can I root, and how ? I don't care for any google play app or whatnot. I just wish to have root access, or have BlueStacks rooted, or whatever you want to call it. How can I achieve that ? And if there is any way someone can just share a pre-rooted version of BlueStacks that would be great ! Thanks !

EDIT: I managed to get an earlyer beta version rooted. I found that one was provided in fact (version 0.6.3.0686). But after that, whenever I try to run an .apk in order to install an app, it gives me INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE. I haven't tried installing an app from a store because I was too annoyed and uninstalled everything. Does this problem not result from the fact that the registry key provided blocks the sd card ? I tried removing that entry from the registry editor and it would start installing but to no end. It would just keep on loading forever. Does this even work for anybody ? Or am I the only one getting this ?
