Sometimes the entire bluestacks freezes,

Here a screencast of the error:

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chakkas:
Id love to know why that happens too... Chrome for android, Nova Launcher, and Apex all make that happen to Bluestcaks and it has to be restarted, the Bluestacks staff ignored my q wheen i asked them about it, could it be because of an ARM translation bug?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nephatiu:
Hasn't happened to me yet, though... Does everybody have this problem?

I made clean installation 3 times and still no luck making my BS root. ofc after unistall i reboot my pc

1. downloaded newest file from post no1

2. installed bs from official website

3. placed the 2 files on programdata/bluestacks/android/ and i replace the old file

4. im 100% that BS wasnt running even on the icon area

5. su binary still not working...

Dunno what else to do...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nephatiu:
Just out of curiosity,... Normally you can read (but not write) /system without root, so could you open a Terminal window in BlueStacks and go to /system/xbin, then type: 'ls -l' (LS -L in lowercase ;p) and check if the file 'su' is there and if it's user and group are 'root' and 'system'?

Then,...

You could maybe try the second 7zip I added a few days ago a bit lower in the first post. It contains everything but the SDcard, so it should undo anything set in dalvik cache or data-data. If even that doesn't work, I'm going to assume the problem lies with a setting or software in your OS somewhere as there would be nothing in your BS that differs from mine. Virusscanners, firewalls, Windows Defender, any other usual suspect,...

I can't check, since I'm against virusscanners, so I don't have any, same goes for Windows Defender, and my firewall is not on this pc... ;p

Grtz,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] manthos1978:
Sorry i will post screenie cause this looks a bit chinese to me :P

If i need to choose a diffirent path to press the command u told me, please guide me :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nephatiu:
First type: cd /system/xbin

Then do the 'ls -l' again and scroll the 'su' file in view. ;)

Grtz,

~ Nephatiu
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manthos1978:
So... what now? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nephatiu:
Well, you see that 'su' file in that list. It's the only one modified on the 7th of December and has the right owner (root) and the right group (yeah I know, it was 'shell', not 'system'. ;p). It's also clearly bootable and suid'ed (the S in RWS stands for: run with root permissions for all users). Even the filesize is right, so I can confirm that this 'su' file you see there is the SuperSU v1.80 su-binarie and that is the right place it should be.

I was actually hoping on any of these things to be incorrect to see where the error lies, but apparently to no avail. :(

Here's a screenshot of my /system/xbin dir in BS, btw, showing the exact same thing (if you don't count the colored terminal. ;p)

So I'm still puzzled by this mindboggling situation,...

Grtz,

~ Nephatiu
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manthos1978:
Clearly chinese what you said :P Kinda n00b android user and honestly dont understand nothing from what you answered to me.

Anyways, thx for the answers. Is anything else i can do or just w8 for a next patch or release.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nephatiu:
Like I said before, you could try downloading the second 7zip a bit lower in the 1st post where it says: "Download the BlueStacks Androdebian Project" and unzipping that 7zip to your programdata\BlueStacks\Android directory, replacing all your own files. Note that this will reset all your apps and settings. If after doing that BlueStacks still isn't rooted, the problem probably lies somewhere else, and not inside BlueStacks. :/

Grtz,

~ Nephatiu
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manthos1978:
Im afraid same problem :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nephatiu:
Well, I'm out of solutions, then. :/ Since the su binaries are in place (seeing in your screenshot), have the right permissions and owner:group assignement, data isn't corrupted either, and I think about every file in your BlueStacks is the same as mine, I'm assuming that the culprit is outside of the BlueStacks software. Something keeping you from having write access to the Root.fs maybe.

Did you try running BlueStacks as Administrator (it's an option in the shortcut's right click menu ('Run as Administrator') and a setting in the shortcut's properties to make it stick if you don't want to right click every time.)?

Wrong Windows owner and/or permissions over the Root.fs file could also prevent you from writing to it, but that's very improbable since you just copied the files there yourself... You could of course always check by right clicking on Root.fs, selecting Properties, clicking the 'Security' tab and checking in the 'Advanced' if owner is somebody on the system (and not some random numbers) and that somebody has full access, but I doubt that would be the problem as you shouldn't be able to move or copy those files to the programdata folder if they were set wrongly here, and you did, so... :/

Other than that, I really don't know what else could be the problem... Maybe UAC (User Account Control (the popup boxes when opening apps that can change system files (like installers,...))), but in theory that should also be fixed when running BlueStacks as Administrator,...

I'll give it some more thought, though... In the mean while, if you happen to find a solution to your problem by yourself, please let me know as I'm curious now too. :p And it could only be helpfull to anyone else having the same problem. ;)

Grtz,

~ Nephatiu
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manthos1978:
Well the only thing i can think that its going wrong, cause i allready and other ways to root it, is the SU binaries. IF there is a way to re-install em manually, i would be happy to test it. Im out of ideas too :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nephatiu:
There is a way of reinstalling them, but since your files look exactly the same as mine (to the byte), I doubt that will change anything.

On x86-systems you just need to run Portable Ubuntu and do a

sudo su [I](pwd: 123456)[/I]
mkdir /n
mkdir /n/rootfs
mkdir /n/img
mount -o loop "/media/cofs2/ProgramData/BlueStacks/Android/Root.fs" /n/rootfs [I](if this folder is not on your C-drive, check post #1 for instructions getting your windows drive on 'cofs3')[/I]
chown root:root /n/rootfs/android/system.img
mount -o loop /n/rootfs/android/system.img /n/img

From this point you now have everything loaded again as you would have in the explanation in Post #1, where you could then overwrite the su binaries (downloads also in Post #1) yourself and do anything you want differently.

Just don't forget to finish up like on Post #1 too (chmodding and chowning everything to Android's usersystem while closing up).

On (the imho depricated) x64-systems however, you will need a linuxbox to work on or (easiest) a linux virtual machine with shared folders. You will have to replace /media/cofs2/...' with the right directory structure then, of course.

Grtz,

Many thanks to Nephatiu, root works great! I found out that yes, you need to install an app, like gmail, in bluestacks before getting root to get access to the google play store. I was also having the issue with apps closing and throwing me to the desktop. The only fix I found was to use the previous beta, 0.8.2.3018. It works perfectly with the files from Nephatiu.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Finally cancelled my account with Sprint, got a Nexus 5 and hopped on the $30 T-Mobile prepaid plan and I could not be happier. With that said, I'd like to turn my S3 into a media player since my N5 only has 16GB of storage. Plus having a separate device for media would save battery on my Nexus.

I would like to disable EVERY app that I do not need (Phone, Messaging, etc...) but I was wondering if the device would function like this, or would I be met with endless FC popups? I plan on using an AOSP/CM ROM since they're a hell of a lot smoother than TW and if the device isn't being used as a phone, I really see no reason to use TouchWiz.

Basically I'm just looking to see if there's anyone out there who have already done this, or if anyone is aware if I will encounter a lot of issues when attempting this.

If anyone has any advice or feedback, I'd greatly appreciate it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
If it's still rooted then just use titanium backup to freeze one app at a time and see how it runs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
What you should do, maybe, is try to port/build a ROM and run it as a tablet. That would disable the messaging, phone, mobile data setting and would limit you to NFC, Bluetooth and WiFi if done correctly. Which would leave the device as a strict media only set up

Due to unfortunate circumstances, a Chinese phone I have has bricked, and it seems like no matter how hard I search for it on the internet, I just can't find a ROM for it.

The device in question is a Sunup Vip111 (MTK6515 or MTK6517 processor, can't say for sure which source is right).

I could really, really use this phone at the moment, so I'd greatly appreciate any and all help here.

Hello everyone,

i was facing a big problem the last couple of days, my phone wont turn on, and recovery and download modes doesn't work

(it just happened after phone battery died)

PS :

i was using Cyanogenmod (am not sure what version exactly)

anyway,

after looking here and there, i managed to get the download mode working, so i followed these steps to get back on stock rom :

IMPORTANT!!

i wanted to follow the steps on the thread of the xda galaxyS forum,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818556

but the link that must lead to the file " I9000XXJVQ_by_Virnik.rar " doesn't work :(

it keeps downloading "iLividSetup-r484-n-bc"

what's wrong with that ?

anyway,

after follow the other instructions, i get the green "PASS" and the phone try to reboot but it get stuck on the samsung galaxy home screen, it just stay there for ever, and there is no "Reboot" in the Odin Log

i tried this instructions too :

what is the difference between : "i9000 JVU ROM with i9000 JVU CF ROOT Kernel" and " i9000 Rescue kit" ???

thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
the JVU ROM, has a JVU kernel but it does not have CWM or Root, flashing the CF root kernel gives you root and most of all CWM recovery , which is needed in order to upgrade to ICS or Jelly Bean or Kit Kat.

i9000 rescue kit may contain just stock ROM and kernel, the version will depend on the kit, its more or less the stock ROM

If you've used some custom ROM with different system partitions, you have to flash the PIT file together with the stock ROM and your i9000 will work again.

Check my thread, whole unbricking is described step by step there and all download links are still active. It should revive your i9000. If it helps, post in the thread that it helped.

Your post looks very informative and i will defenetly follow through, but there is 1 problem, which i think is a big problem, i can't tell my phone version; all i know that i have Galaxy S I9000, i cannot know the IMEI number because the one who gave me the phone has removed the "paper" on the back :

and the battery doesn't have anything useful on it, so maybe the whole problem is that i was using the wrong stock firmware ??

thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
yup, this would be an issue, that needs sorting out first, so use ADB, hope you have some knowledge about it, if not go here

than use ADB to pull the Build prop, after which open it with a notepad to see what model is your phone

the command would be adb pull /system/build.prop C:\ to pull it from your phone to your PC hard drive

you can also check if it has a backup file called build.prop.bak , pull that too

once you know for sure, than it would be better and easier to resolve.

it really sucks man :p i have been fighting this problem for days now and nothing worked, and what is really annoying is that there is no hardware issue, when WindowsXp doesn't find that small boot.ini file it's very easy to quickly repaired with Xp cd or just re-install the system again, but in my case here, instead of doing that, i guess i'll have to buy a new phone ?? why :p ?

you need to get into recovery mode to flash a custom ROM, so here is what you can do flash a semaphore kernel as before , untick "reboot" in Odin3 when flashing, after that pull out battery, reinsert and use combo keys for CWM recovery mode

In CWM you can flash the CM ICS ROM, as mentioned in that guide to get your phone booting :fingers-crossed:

Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries ​
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaslipknot:
alright just to make sure that am doing it the right way :

-i downloaded the first file in this page (Semaphore_2.7.4.tar) :

-open Odin, select that kernel for PDA, untick reboot,press start result :

-i pulled the battery out, reinsert and use combo keys for CWM (V+,Home,Power) and nothing happened, the phone turn on and like always stays for ever in the boot screen
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
the correct combo is Volume up + Home + Power buttons pressed together for recovery mode

so try again

EDIT: try this too Remove the battery and press all three button during this process insert the battery, wait for vibration and leave after 2 or 3 seconds from vibration.

not necessarily, the branded phones. like telstra, at&t, T mobile, although having same combo keys will not work with i9000 ROMS when they are locked also Sc02B meant for Japan, These combo keys can also be changed when flashing custom ROM's like on i9000M and i9000B I am not sure what are their combo keys but i9000 ROM's will not boot on them.

From the image of your phone I am sure its not an M110S , meant for Korea . My guess is its an i9000B, meant for Brazil and latin America...BTW what is your location and how did you come by it.might narrow down the search.

strangely he has removed the label, which is rather strange and not easily peeled off, For European models the JVU ROM will be perfect in every detail, unfortunately it not booting

The final option when nothing works would be to use JTAG to flash the ROM and fix it, which means you need to visit a mobile technician. The problem here ADB, is not detecting your phone, IF by chance it did, there are many recovery tools that can be used too in My Android collections
