the problem is that when you start deleting registry entries for BS and using CCleaner to delete those entries then it becomes very difficult if not impossible to reinstall BS again as it is still registered somewhere in the registry that is still installed. I saw a similar comment from another user, I still don't know if he got it resolved or not. Maybe someone with more deep knowledge on the registry and BS can give you some tips on what you should do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lalo3:
This is my steps.

1- Unnistalled BS from CCleaner

2- Cleaned registry

3- Try to install another version , impossible.

4- Deleted all the files of BS from ProgramData and x86

5- Try again, nothing

6- Then search the log and delete all entries from key reference BS.

7- ATM i don't have any registry keys for BS, and i can't install it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
@codelover, I saw you edited the code to install moded Superuser4BS.apk and su-3.2-x86 using adb shell su -c, and using first /sdcard to copy sux86, ... I just tested and it works all the way. so that is now a good method to install Superuser and update su binary at any time.

Great job!, regards.

If anyone is having trouble installing after uninstalling Bluestacks and has followed the 7 steps above there are 2 more steps to try:

8- Delete "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\BlueStacks

9- download and run the registry file attached to this post - It will remove any leftover registry entries relating to the previous BlueStacks installation

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
Here I am again, trying again the next day! Rocketero, I see your post about codelover's ideas about updating superuser. But I see many more posts too, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed..

I can go ahead and try his method from #668. Or is there another post now that describes the complete process from beginning to end? I mean, something that includes fixing the superuser version issues? Or...with the updates you've done to your root/initrd rar file, does the mohazia procedure (with your rar) work without me having to do codelover's steps?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
One thing no one has mentioned about cleaning old bs registry entries are the entries for RocketBar, I believe.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lalo3:
Already tried also, but lasts versions of bs don't use rocketdock
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mohazia:
Yes, it works.

Just for note, I tried codelover to update my superuser to 3.2, but unfortunately I lost my root :(

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

The superuser4BS.apk, is that the offecial one on superuser site, and also sux86-3.2.

what I integrate in my root.fs was the offecial ones, but even I have root permission inside BS (I.e TB, root explorer, root browser work fine) but excuting adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 root return restarting adb in root, and sure device disconnected.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
Can you upload your setup log? you can find it at %LocalAppData%\Temp\
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
Sorry, Mohazia, I'm not clear about what will work for me. I tried your procedure last night, with both your .rar and with Rocketero's, and I was not rooted. Then all the posts occurred about how to update superuser/su. Have you now changed something in your .rar which would make your procedure work for me without having to do any extra superuser steps?

I apologize for not "getting this" right away. I've been looking at this thread for a long time after trying some initial stuff in June. I decided to wait until there seemed to be something very "clean and easy". Your FIRST METHOD seemed to fit that, so I decided to take the plunge. But so far, no luck for me. So...are there are changes to your .rar, since last night, that might make it all work for me now?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
Sorry if my method did not work for you.

Superuser4BS.apk is modded from the official apk to allow it to work best with Bluestacks, and probably only for Bluestacks. In fact the original one works too but only you may see some red warning message under the Superuser info page, and Superuser4BS.apk was repacked to resolve the issue, nothing more.

---------- Post added at 04:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

May i know what is your problem? FYI Superuser 3.1-3.2 settings is at top right. BS menu button does not work.

Try run the following command to uninstall previously installed version:

Msiexec /x {384FA0C0-BB19-4CA0-8DB4-5FD4E938277F}

If failed, try to reinstall the specific version back with the following command, then do a clean uninstall again.

Don't delete registry keys directly, simply use Windows 'Uninstall a program' is enough, reboot if neccessary.

Msiexec /i {384FA0C0-BB19-4CA0-8DB4-5FD4E938277F}
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
Codelover, I did finally figure out how to see the settings for superuser....different for 3.0.7 and 3.1.3. See my post #666 where I discussed this.

My problem is that I followed mohazia's first method, once with the .rar from Rocketero, and I do not have root. Then I tried the one mohazia's post referred to originally, and I got the same bad result...no root. So then there are all these posts about superuser/su and how to get root. But the question is why didn't I get root by following the procedure?

If I can't get it with the procedure, I may need to try the suggestions about su x86, data/data/com.noshufou....., etc., but I can't create that folder path at all. I'm not allowed to create any path under data, maybe because I'm not rooted.

So...rather than trying to figure that last stuff out about superuser, I'd rather just understand why mohazia's procedure does not get me rooted. I have followed those steps precisely, several times, but I'm not rooted.

Thanks for any help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lalo3:
Nothing, says something about a .msi installer but nothing..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
I see, one question, before you get the Root.fs replaced did you already have Superuser installed?

If you don't have root there is no way to fix problem, @Rocketero images supposed to work fine, just make sure you run HD-Quit before you replace the files.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mohazia:
I was update it, and it works as a charm.

I tried codelover codes to verify method, to site it in the conclusion threat, but I lost the root permission, then I restore root.fs from the one I upload it later. Now, I have root + google working smoothly.

I also have data.fs and sdcard.fs. and my BS working without any prob, (except adb root). But inside BS, no prob.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
So let's make it clear, you tried to install BlueStacks 0.7.2.751 but setup found a later version with the following product code:

{384FA0C0-BB19-4CA0-8DB4-5FD4E938277F}

So you will not be able to install any version unless the above mentioned program get uninstalled.

To find out where the installer for {384FA0C0-BB19-4CA0-8DB4-5FD4E938277F}, you can use msiinv.exe

Extract & run the above program in msdos prompt:

msiinv.exe > proglist.txt

Now open proglist.txt and search for {384FA0C0-BB19-4CA0-8DB4-5FD4E938277F}, under 'Local package:' you will find the setup location that you need to run in order to uninstall the program which your BlueStacks 0.7.2.751 setup think it should not exist if you want to install it.

If above doesn't work, please try to this SmartMSIzap

Run the following command in msdos prompt:

SmartMSIzap.exe /p {384FA0C0-BB19-4CA0-8DB4-5FD4E938277F}

Try to install after applied above to see it work or not.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
Thanks, codelover. When I read about mohazio's first step, I decided to tackle this. I deleted a Bluestacks install from June, and I'm pretty sure all of it was completely gone. Then I followed mohazia's first step. So there may have been some version of superuser there already? But his instructions don't say anything about uninstalling any version of superuser, so I doubt that there was one there.

I think I have to start from scratch again. i.e. uninstall Bluestacks completely and start over. I can't predict what will happen, but if I follow the Mohazio procedure again, with Rocketero's .rar, I don't see why it will get any better for me! But I'll try anyway. Again, thanks for your help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mohazia:
I updated superuser 3.2 via aptoide, and now I have it working smooth.

The mod you apply regarding sutool? What I have to change?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
codelover, I did do HD-Quit on prior attempts, and I'll continue to do that in subsequent times that I retry this procedure. But out of curiosity, why can't we quit Bluestacks just by right-clicking on the icon in the tray and select 'quit'? Are these actually two completely different ways of quitting Bluestacks?

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

mohazia, are you addressing this to me? When you say "the mod you apply regarding sutool", I haven't applied anything yet....because I'm still very confused about why I don't have root after doing your first step. So maybe you mean to be asking someone else this question? Sorry, I have probably gotten everyone a bit confused with all my posts. Basically, I just want to run your first step and become rooted WITHOUT any other procedure for "fixing" superuser or su! As I told codelover above, I may start over and see if anything improves But I'd sure like to know what I've done wrong!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mohazia:
Sorry, it was for codelover,

after you apply the 1st method, you don't have root permission???? if so, that means superuser.apk (i.e com.nosh.android.su.apk) is linked from /data. if it so, to do it. plz confirm
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
If i remember correctly starting 0.7.4 there is no 'Quit' in the tray icon, replaced with 'Stop', yes they are supposed to do the same thing but we just want to make sure everything related to BS is not running, and instead of asking ppl to do right click on system tray, the sentense run HD-Quit just seems to be shorter.

And one thing, when you say your BS is not rooted which one are you referring? su or Superuser?

FYI, Inside BS if you don't have working Superuser you might not been able to grant root, with the exception the apps uid has already been added to Superuser database,

mind you older Superuser save authorized app in a completely different database format. If you already have Superuser installed that could be a conflict a format mismatch.

Now to confirm you have working su, try run 'su' in Terminal Emulator as well as well as using adb, when you use run 'su' with adb the database is taken into account.

Also ----------

FMF have a new version update yesterday (9.0) that blocks Bluestacks emulator shows This App Doesn't Run on Emulators.

Some people tested it with YouWave, and works good without anyproblem but Youwave isn't good like Bluestacks atm, anyone can do a bypass for this ****ty app?

Thanks you for helping me there, and sorry for my english cuz i'm spanish :P

Thanks you very much codelovers <3
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
codelover, my tray dropdown box definitely shows 'Quit" at the bottom, not "Stop". If I hover over the icon in the tray, it definitely says I'm on 0.7.7.813. So again, very confusing as to what's going on with me.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

mohazia, I guess I just am not explaining myself well. From the very beginning (last night), I've been saying that I have run your FIRST METHOD, with Rocketero's .rar (and then other versions when that didn't work), but I don't get rooted. That's what I'm trying to understand....why don't I have root after doing what others seem to do with such ease! So I'm not sure what you meant about com..... being linked from /data. Were you asking me to give you more information?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
Yes, just swapped sutools arm version with x86, so both are x86 version.

So if one want to remove the red color warning in Superuser info page, they can use Superuser4BS.apk.

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

Glad to here that.

Yes 'Notification Center' is actually BlueStacks installer, they have replaced the main installer with ThinInstaller which is a wrapper for the MSI.

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 AM ----------

I believe you have your previous version of BS cached, please run the following commands:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe /delete "C:\Program Files\BlueStacks\HD-Agent.exe"
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe /delete "C:\Program Files\BlueStacks\HD-Frontend.exe"

EDIT: Forgot to mention you will need to run cmd as Administrator

Please update the above commands to your actual .NET v2 path, the version number could be different if you have service pack installed.

Also you may need to change Program Files to Program Files (x86) if you are using x64 version OS.

And that could also be the reason why you are not able to grant root access while it supposed to working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, so I do need to use Program Files (x86). The NET v2 path you showed does exist, so I'm assuming I can use it.

I tried running these 2 commands in a command prompt window, and it says I need administrative privileges. Then I tried each with win-r, and the command window flashed very quickly, and I can't see what it was displaying. How should I run these 2 command?

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

Sorry, I saw your edit after I already posted that. And I apologize for being such a novice. Can I open a command prompt window, telling it I am an administrator?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
Type 'cmd' in Search program & files, then right click cmd, Run as Administrator.

Goto C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ to find your correct version for v2, or any version that has working ngen.exe installed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
Thanks for that method. I googled and found something that said to do ctrl+shift+enter after entering 'cmd', and then it asked me to answer yes or no. Your method is nicer. Anyway, both of those commands seemed to execute properly. However, when I bring up Bluestacks, I still have 'Quit" when I right click on its tray icon. I guess I'll reboot to see if that helps. Again, thanks for all your help.

Is there something in the registry that could be "remembering" this old version? The version of Bluestacks that displays is the new one though, so it isn't making sense to me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
-Content Removed-
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
After you executed above command did you close BS completely? like run HD-Quit.exe? Nop the version is embeded in the program itself not registry.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
I did do the HD-Quit. But with it still showing 'Quit' instead of 'Stop', I've decided to start over. I'm trying to clean everything up, as much as I can find.

About those commands you had me do to delete stuff from the framework....once I reinstall, won't those show up in there again? I mean, did the fact that the 2 commands "worked" indicate that I really did have something installed improperly?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
No, it's not related. They are cached for performance but sometimes could cause trouble, which is rare.

But usually i clean all my cache with /delete *
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mohazia:
aha, I found it now, superuser.apk v 3.2 is the missing, because it was in my data.fs, so, now I just add an attachement of official superuser, just install it by double click.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
WOW, I'm rooted!

mohazia, codelover, Rocketero, thank you so much for all your help! I don't know if it's that I had "remnants" of the prior install around (thank you, codelover), or whether mohazia's latest instructions from about an hour ago helped, or whether more registry cleanup after uninstalling and starting over made the difference. It would be nice to know what it was, just because I'm a curious cat and always want to get to the bottom of things. But at least I spent many hours investigating (and asking all of you many questions!), so I've become much more familiar with the whole system.

So.....when will I ever need to do the steps about superuser and su updating? Will it be every time a new version of Bluestacks is released? I certainly don't want to go through the entire FIRST STEP again every time.

Again, I really appreciate your help and patience!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mohazia:
hahahahahahaha, sorry to say, yes :crying:

1 week before I just knocked a door to make a trial of this, now I'm in. just 2 week, u'll be perfect lunix and android dev :p

Question to all of our leaders, mammadkhata, merrickville, codelover, and rocketero

I extract official Superuser from Superuser-3.2-RC2-x86-signed.zip and place it into /system/app

and remove /data/app/com.noshufou.android.su.apk and /data/data/com.noshufou.android.su

but when I launch BS, superuser application not appear and even no root permission. I found it that you have to install the same apk manually

why?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
When you say 'remove' did you mean you removed them directly from inside BS? Nop you can't. You have to go through the processes so that existing data get cleaned. If you never install Superuser before or uninstalled it properly then it would works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
Various apps do seem to say I'm rooted. However, I can't get ES File Explorer to show me more than mnt/sdcard, e.g. / or /system or /data. I try to check "Root settings" - "Root Explorer" and after a few seconds, it says that it cannot run this feature on my phone. Then I tried other apps, like File Manager or Astro, and I can't seem to get them to work either. Thanks for any ideas.

Another problem. In terminal emulator, 'ls' command says the following. I googled but didn't see anything that helped me.

sh: /system/bin/ls: not executable: magic 7F45
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
Not sure other FM but if i remember correctly there was some users reported ES FE does not work with su/superuser in BS, try Root Explorer.

Which Root.fs image are you using? did you run some root related apps that install or 'upgrade' busybox?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
Root Explorer is $3.99, so I'm not ready to buy that right now. I'll keep looking and see if any others work.

I'm using Rocketero's root.fs, only because it sounded like there were some changes to it that might be useful. Should I use another one?

As far as root-related apps, I tried that "root explorer" feature in ES FE, but it failed. I didn't do anything with busybox. I tried those other file explorers mentioned before, but they shouldn't have caused any problem. Oh, I did run Tit. Bkup, just the first screen where it tries to see if you're rooted...I didn't perform any of its functions. I haven't not done the "lucky" patch that goes with it that Rocketero mentioned last night.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LfcFan1977:
I'm sure it is available free via !BS app Search" or "1Mobile Market" if they are in these newer versions of BS (I'm still on 0.7.5.2700)

Edit

Yep, got it from "1Mobile Market"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sga999:
Thanks, LFCFan! For some reason, Root Explorer would download from 1mobilemarket but not install. I got Antek File Explorer from there instead, and it does let me look at the root.

However, just like when I had problems with this right after I started trying to install last night, I cannot look at /data. It tells me that I don't have permission. I can look at /system, /system/bin, and many others in the root. So I think I'm still not quite there at getting this installed properly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mohazia:
Now I have root.fs & data.fs.

I mount both in lunix,

delete /data/app/com.nosh*.apk,

then delete /data/data/com.nosh* folder

remove /system/app/superuser.apk.

as I have no prob with su, I'll keep it.

I guess, now my /system & /data will not have any superuser apk & it's files. & it will be like a fresh images.

Then I put official superuser.apk in /system/app

but when I umount,

run bs,

no superuser application in app drawer & also no root permission

I have to reinstall superuser manually by just simple double click to let superuser apear again in app drawer & I have root permission.
