hi all

i'm currently using the bluestacks rooted version that erbil gazette recently put up. pretty much i just started using bluestacks and then found out there was a rooted version as well. i have some questions if someone had the time to answer them

Can multiple instances of bluestacks be run on 1 computer?

How do I get an application like "PDROID" to work on Bluestacks.

Does anyone know an alternative application that does what PROID does but works on Bluestacks?

What does Bluestacks use as an IP Address? Would it be necessary to use a proxy android program on Bluestacks?

Are there any tips to make Bluestacks run faster?

anyway hopefully someone can help and thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] .oOOo.:
I don't think you can install multiple instances of BlueStacks. It digs itself pretty deep into the Windows system.

You might want to look into a completely different solution. You can run an Intel based Android (Android-x86) inside VirtualBox. This page describes how you can set this up. You can multiple VirtualBox virtual machines on the same computer.Try that and see if it works for you. I don't think you will be able to install PDROID on Android-x86 though.

Root your BlueStacks up to v. 0.7.8.829

I have uploaded to my Dropbox the Root. and Initrd.img files, these files will root your BS up to v. 0.7.8.829

Info:

/system partition is 500MB, there is around 340 MB free space on this partition.

superuser.apk and su are version 3.2

busybox is version 1.20.0

su and busybox are in /system/xbin and /system/bin

/system is ReadWrite, (Run Root Explorer and change it from RO to RW).

Here is the zip file, it's 78.90MB in size and the MD5 is: 4263878D9220C577CA331739903A2BDE

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ii6c570x2o2lne/Root.fs+Initrd.img-bs078829.zip

Procedure:

1. Go to C:\Program Files\Bluestacks (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Bluestacks if you have x64bit), and dobleclick on HD-Quit.exe, this will close BS.

2. Rename Initrd.img and Root.fs to something else. they are located in C:\ProgramData\Bluestacks\Android

3. Extract the files from the zip, and copy Root.fs and Initrd.img from it to C:\ProgramData\Bluestacks\Android

Re-launch Bluestacks. Enjoy your rooted BS.!

new android version?

Another noob question from a windows guy.

I know that one of the primary reasons people root there phones is so they can install the latest & greatest versions of android on them.

my question is, can BS be upgraded to say ICS or jellybean?

or is the emulator looking for a specific version?

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
nope, it can not, unless the company itself upgrade the beta-1 to ICS. but the v.2.3.4 right now is working great, most apps that work with ICS work also on this version. except for the Gameloft games that I haven't been able to make them run.

How exactly do I find my GUID? I know it says HKEY-CURRENT_USER (which I assume to be the user on my computer) then \Software\BlueStacks

But, how do I open that? Is it a directory? Do I type it in my start menu? All I need is my GUID and then i can run the blueregistrymod.reg file...

So, my question is: how EXACTLY do I find my GUID? I'm sorry if I missed an obvious direction... I'm looking closely but I cannot figure it out...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bcwebb73:
+1 to this... I would also like to know how to get PDroid on there. I am trying to block a specific app from accessing my Android_ID. I have tried privacy blocker, but it fails when recompiling the APK for this app. I have created the PDroid patch using a Deodexed N7000 Gingerbread rom, but I do not know how to flash it onto Bluestacks since there is no recovery mode like on a phone. Anyone have any idea on how to successfully get Pdroid running on bluestacks? Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jsilvermist:
Well to start off with, that is a bit old, it's not HKEY-CURRENT_USER anymore, but HKEY-LOCAL_MACHINE, and you can access it by going to the start menu and typing regedit in windows.

That being said, I tried this method before and even after adding the GUID to both spots in the registrymod file, it still wouldn't start up afterwards, so unless you know how to backup BlueStacks and the registry quite well, I would have to recommend not trying this.

PS: Even after changing the Data file and SD file paths to the current files, it would still not boot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] perry59:
Had root, now its gone?

A couple weeks ago, I followed the instructions for rooting BS (manual method) and it went without a hitch. Was pretty happy with it considering I've never touched linux/android 'till then! Rootcheck said I had root, everything worked. Since then I ended up doing a full re-install of windows (for other reasons). Re-installed BS and went through the root process just like before (only takes me about 5 minutes now!) but rootcheck now says I don't have root. When looking through the system I see "su" is in /bin and /xbin with current dates, so that seems ok. Superuser is in /apps with the current date. They all show rw permissions and the system is mounted rw so I'm kinda stumped. (tried executing superuser from the /app dir and got an error that the package could not be parsed) I started thinking I had a bogus superuser.apk ( I had used Superuser-3.2-RC3-x86-signed.zip) so then I tried a couple others (Superuser-3.1.3-x86-signed.zip and Superuser-3.1.2-x86-signed.zip) Still no root so I must have done something wrong but I'm stumped. I'm sure I did exactly as I had done before when I did get root.

When I mounted system_sfs I did get a warning that it was mounted RO, but I believe I got the same warning when my rooting worked previously. By the way, I'm using an Ubuntu live cd to boot into ubuntu in order to do the rooting process, then copying root.fs back to my windows partition.

So can any of you linux/android guru's give me some pointers on what might be happening?

Thanks

PS.

there are seveal terminal emulators in the stores, do you guys have a preference for which one to use in BS?

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] perry59:
Well, I tried to just push superuser into BS and had problems with that as well. Im sure I followed the instructions, so whats the problem?

the first command I issued in ADB was this:

adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell su -c "rm /*uperuser.apk"

that gave me an error saying the system was RO, even though root explorer says its RW. So I tried to remount and did this:

mount -o rw,remount /system

that gave my a syntax error, so I tried this:

mount -ro remount,rw /system

(I am seeing differing forms of syntax here)

then I tried:

chmod 777 /system

which gave no error, but I still dont have RW access

Needless to say I did not get very far, I would like to get my root back, but I'm just pulling out my hair!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
It's really hard to tell because we have no idea what exactly you did or even a small typo could change the outcome.

The key to have system rw very much depends on modification on initrd & having system.img in Root.fs if you are using @mohaiza manual root method.

Why don't you just use the pre-rooted files provided? The rooted files for latest version of BS is available too.

If you still prefer manual rooting, do check on:

- Does Root Explorer shows/can be changed to rw on /system (Not on /)

- Does Root.fs having the correct file/folder structures (Eg: /android/ramdisk.img, /android/system.img)

- Does Initrd.img has been successfully modified to have rw support on system.img.

For terminal emulator app you can use Android Terminal Emulator, you can also download the latest version here.

I looked OSX version and noticed that Root is also sparsefs. Root.fs modifying isn't working...

The information on first page is outdated, there are lots of easier methods to get BS rooted.

You can try rooted files provided by @rocketero or @FalcionX or @erbil gazette.

Basically all you need to do is replace the files mentioned in their post you are done.

Thank you very much kind sir , there is absolutely no caution that the outdated one only works on an old version only , and that it is even outdated at all >.< , I very much appreciate your help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] perry59:
I prefer to use the "manual" method so that I can become adept at rooting any version of BS and not rely on others to do it for me.

Yes, root explorer shows /system as RW and my root.fs has the proper structure (at least it does now after I reinstalled/re-modded, but I have'nt tried ADB yet). I have included a screen shot from rootcheck pro. Its funny that superuser is in /bin and /xbin but is NOT an installed app. I thought that modding root.fs actually installed it. Clicking on on the superuser.apk in /bin just gets me an error (cant parse, or something like that), but if I double click the .apk file OUTSIDE of BS (say on my C or D drive) then BS installs it and I get root.

So, I got root but not the way I expected to.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
Well, i think you got the wrong idea about the apk & the binaries. To make Superuser works, you will need to have both the binary and the apk. The binary is named 'su' or sometimes we refer to 'su-x86', which must be installed in /bin/ or /xbin/. You will not be able to run superuser.apk in /bin because it's just a zip file and not a binary program.

The apk must be installed in */app/ folder and run by dalvik vm then only it become an useful application. Perhaps you have forgotten to put superuser.apk in /system/app/, but of cause you can still install it manually afterward, just it will not be part of the 'pre-rooted' Root.fs.

I downloaded the latest Bluestacks from the official website, and tried rooting it with the third post method.

D'uh, the versions were different, hence the new version didn't boot.

So I uninstalled the official latest version with revo uninstaller pro, cleaning up leftover files.

Try installing an older version, but failed to install.

After scouring the internet for hours and deletng countless other files, I still can't manage to install the older versions.

I tried everything, including the steps mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1970577

I don't have either bluestacks, or that Notification Center app installed. Checked it with CCleaner too.

With this procedure I Got Bluestacks Beta Rooted, thank you very much.

Unfortunately I am gonna have to find a solution to the pop up saying that Internal SD storage is full and with this rooting the pop up now is in every restart not as before that was once in a while. So I don't know if it's because the 10GB SDcard that i'm working with or for other reason.

Also I don't know if it was corrected in the the instructions almost at the bottom it says: #adb shell mount -o ro,remount t-ext4 /dev/sdb1 /system

it should be -t ext4

Anyways back to zero for me, I'll see what can be done to fix this pop up but I don't know much so would this mean I'll have to use the stock beta1 sdcard ?

I have Google Play Store Working

Gmail working

Youtube (Adobe Flash Player) working.

One app that is not working is Superuser, it doesn't find for some reason the location of su, witch is in /system/xbin/ ... I created a link (ln -s) of su to /system/bin/ but still superuser app does not want to update the binary. So for apps like ES File Explorer, and others that should get access to root through superuser they cannot get it.

But terminal Emulator gets the # at the su command.

So I'm happy that after re installing the whole Bluestacks and creating another 8GB empty SDcard finally is seems like it's holding and at least for now it not showing that pop up message about internal SD space being full.

ah and did I say I am also rooted.. thanks for the hard work guys, highly appreciated. running my Bluestacks at 1450x1050 resolution.
