Hello xdadevelopers I decided to make a video on how to root Bluestacks 0.9.13.5006

This works wonderfully and yes sometimes on certain versions of bluestacks it does make it unstable but works wonderfully!

Compatible Operating Systems:

Windows XP

Windows Vista

Windows 7

Windows 8

Windows 8.1

Windows 10

I update the videos everytime there is a new version of bluestacks and if there is any problems with the rooting process simply leave a comment on one of my videos!

My Youtube Channel:

https://www.youtube.com/user/TopPCGuidesOfficial

Here is the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB9G-RtzolU

If you want to increase the storage on Bluestacks than follow this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdBBgjAOwHc

Or if you want to increase the amount of RAM watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTalVojQD1c

The tool provided works for all version of bluestacks meaning...... it is universal

It tool me a long time to find this program and no I did not make it but it would be great if you donate to the developer of this wonderful software!

If you want to donate to the developer his link for donating is on the software!

Hey there, to update ADB through the console, go to the tools folder, its on the same level as platform-tools, run a command prompt from there, by shift-right clicking and hitting open command window here, then type;

android update adb

after that it should tell you to restart the server, and you should be good.

Good Luck!

There's no exploit example, but maybe there's a new hope for getting root on the Fire TV Stick and newer Fire TVs. Can anyone confirm the Fire TV has the vulnerable code?

Not to discount any other dev, but rbox seems to be the guy that would know if its poossible. He seems to be the man when it comes to the Fire TV. Why not just ask rbox? He can probably give you a straight foward answer and you wouldn't have to speculate anymore. Just ask rbox, cause I am pretty sure he would know if it would work.

its still not going to fix the efuse. amazon really lost my support when that happened.. fireTV is a bedroom box now and i've moved to the 100$ M8 amlogic box running openelec.. if you want something for pure XBMC this is a much better option and fully supports different refresh rates.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kip_dynamite:
Right it won't fix the efuse but I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one still using the old firmware without efuse and hoping for software root...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
I do not want his attention at all. I was simply informing people that if they wanna a quick reliable answer that rbox would probably be the one to ask. I have said several times that I could care less about rooting my Fire TV. I just know how these threads pan out, they usually end up in arguements over wheather or not its possible, so I was trying to give them a quick solution to their question. If they wanna now if its possible they could probably get an answer from rbox and there would be no more speculation and nobody would have to eventually get mad when someone says it won't work. He is a reliable source so why wouldn't they wanna ask him? If I mention him it means I mentioned him period. Yes I mentiond him, cause without a doubt he is probably considered the top dev for the Fire TV. No harm in mentioning him or trying to point people in the right direction to ge an answer. If they ask him today and he responds with a definative answer today, they have their answer and there will be no more wondering.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
From what I read, this alone isn't enough to gain root. You need to combine this with other exploit(s) to get it. I've read that there is a forthcoming proof of concept that uses it. So we just have to wait and see. But... hope is not lost totally for people with the fire tv with the fuse blown. Before I had the unlock working, I was working on safestrap for the fire tv. Safestrap allows you to boot to recovery with a locked bootloader. So if this results in root for the newer firetvs with the blown fuse, making a safestrap package is a possibility. No promises on when or if it would actually happen. As for that happening with the stick... highly unlikely (from me) because it's a completely different architecture from the Fire TV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E--Man:
RBox, thanks for chiming in. Many of us are hoping for a FireTV Stick root. I guess we'll have to wait and see like you said. Hopefully we'll hear something soon! Any particular forum we can keep an eye on besides this one?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
Just because you buy a device does not mean that you deserve to be able to do something that the makers of it never intended it to do. Its like someone goin out and buying an RX7 and saying it deserves to go faster than a Lambo. Any mildly intelligent person would have never bought the Mazda if they wanted it to outrun a Lambo, cause they would know ahead of time its not made to outrun a Lambo. I can understand why people wanna root. I even have rooted devices, but to get mad because you cannot root a device makes zero sense. You knew Amazon did not want you to root it before you bought it, so why complain now? You deserve many things in life simply by being human, but a rooted Fire TV is not on the list of things that anyone deserves. Look at it like this, if root never comes too the newer firmwares, you will forget about when you buy your next device. I must admit I was kinda irked when I read that some Fire TVs cannot be rooted, but i took my chances and bought it anyway, and now I have a nonrootable device, and its absoluely not a big deal. I knew ahead of time what I was getting into and if I get root one day that will be fine, but if I don't I am still fine wiith that too. My Fire TV does everything I need it to do without root so its really not a big deal. I have noticed after I got a little older that the alure of cool apps and cool mods have worn away. I no longer care how cool my Android devices look or what cool tweaks I can use, I simply just want a device that does what its supposed to do. I have done so much "cool stuff" on Android devices that I am actually burnt out. I don't even carry my cell anymore. I have a Galaxy Note that has never been outside except for when UPS dropped it off. Trust me, not having root for your Android device is not gonna have any negative effects on your life if it does not happen.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer765:
That is a terrible example. Since we buy the devices we should be able to do what we want with them, similar with cars. We buy cars and since we bought them, we can customize them as we wish. Last I checked, there was nothing in place from stopping me from popping the hood open and doing what I wish with the engine or interior.

Your poor example is akin to saying I bought a cheap outdated phone like an Alcatel and saying it deserves to be faster than an HTC One M8. Learn to troll better.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E--Man:
Hey man I don't know wtf you are talking about but I think you need to quit while you're ahead because you are embarrassing yourself. The example you stated is absolutely horrible and has no merit, but to amuse you, let's "run with it". Lets say I bought an "RX7", and its motor has the potential of producing up to 300HP (hypothetically speaking of course) at the crankshaft, but the manufacturer installed an HP limiter that only allows me to produce up to 180HP because they feel it is what they want me to be able to do with the physical, tangible item I have purchased. Lets take this even further, this same vehicle also has the potential of being able to achieve maximum speeds of up to 180MPH, but the manufacturer also installed a speed limiter of 70MPH again because they feel it is what the want me to be able to do; I mean, theoretically the maximum speed I should be driving is 70MPH since that is the maximum speed limit found on any roads nationally (hypothetically speaking again). If you don't think this would infuriate people and you don't see my point by now, then you are simply a lost cause.

Perhaps what you should really be thinking about by being open-minded, is how would you and others would feel if Amazon one day decides to restrict the installation of any external application (such as XBMC) that is not "Amazon-approved" and disables USB debugging altogether? Please do not reply to this, I do not wish to continue this idiotic conversation and that was a rhetorical question. FYI, this is a very likely possibility since most people would simply take everything for free rather than paying Amazon ridiculous amounts of money to watch a minuscule episode of a TV show.

To put all of this into perspective for you, the HP limiter in my better example above relates to rooting whereas the installation of any external applications relates to the speed limiter.

Lastly, your statement that says that "not having root for your Android device is not gonna have any negative effects" sounds like a virgin who does not know what he is missing out on. You say you have experimented with rooted devices but perhaps you didn't dive deep enough to reap the benefits of rooting or else you would not be saying this. This is my opinion.

Clearly your opinion is significantly different than others' opinion regarding this topic here. Again, I do not wish to continue this idiotic topic, so I will cease to reply from this point and I would ask that you do as well as it is off topic. Please do not take my silence as some sort of victory as I disagree and stand by what I am saying....

This poster was active in the Note forums as well. I don't get what their deal is. Quite often it comes across like they are talking down to others or downright aggressive. Probably best to just ignore their walls of rambling text. Thank goodness there is an ignore button.

The FireTV community is one of the friendliest I have seen in any forum. No point in letting one bad egg ruin that.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
I was not being unfriendly at all. I even said I understood the guy, but simply stated that just because you buy a product does not give you special priledges to modify that product. If you buy an ar15 rifle, it does not give you the privilege to modify it to full auto. When you buy anything, you buy it as is, and I was simply stating that it should not be a problem if root never comes to newer firmwares. The problem with some people on here is that they forget a forum is a place for opinion, but they cannot handle when someone has a differing opinion. So if you wanna be mad, then be mad, cause I said absolutely nothing wrong. The guy said we deserve to have root, and I said nobody deserves root. Its cool to get root, but deserving to have root is a different story. You deserve food, air, water and breath, but deserving root is comical.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ractar28:
There is a difference though, as much as I hate to admit it. I believe that the hardware the Fire TV runs on is underpriced for what it is. That underpricing comes from the expected future sales of content. If you have root on the Fire TV, those sales are thwarted considerably. On a phone or other device that sells based upon just the hardware, I don't see that same argument as being reasonable, but in the specific case of the Fire TV, I think that argument has some merit. Of course, the "fix" is for Amazon to "sell" root access.

A "bad" company would allow you to root your own device by clicking a few checkboxes that say you are waiving the warranty by requesting root access... then a few months later, send an update that bricks rooted devices... "sorry, no warranty".

Rooting. For me. It's a hobby. And for everyone else here I'm sure it's super fun and they enjoy modifying their boxes.

No one here was upset that root isn't possible yet. Stop trying to be a party pooper homie.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmpm:
It should be possible to have a discussion on whether or not people have the "right" to root their devices with out it becoming personal. So far the discussion has been pretty clean, but please try to avoid denigrating anybody's opinion in this matter, because really it is mostly a matter of opinion. Like whether pizza is better than hamburgers...(probably a bad analogy :D)

Where I live it is not illegal to root or unlock your device, so you do actually have the legal "right" to do so. However, I am not aware of anything that requires the OEMs or carriers to provide a path to root. So really this discussion is about issues that are highly topical in the android ecosystem and in an area where the laws (at least where I live) haven't kept pace with technology.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcsephoenix:
How exactly does having root on the FireTV thwart content sales on the FireTVt? I can thwart them just as easily without root access.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xm41907:
I agree with Porkenhimer. Buying anything expecting it to perform beyond the manufacturer's intended use is generally not a wise decision. Yes, some things, such as cars are inherently designed for upgrade ability, but that is also by manufacturer's design. How many cars have supped up parts available through the dealer? An electronic device such as the FTV doesn't fall into this category and it is the manufacturer's right to allow root or not. The phrase "Buyer Beware" applies here. If you are someone into custom roms, mods, etc..., then it's a fair bet you've done your research on what is available on the device you intend to purchase. Buying a device that is known to be unrootable and then throwing a hissy fit when you can't root it just show's ignorance. On the other hand, Amazon or any other manufacturer deciding to block root via an update does suck, but again, it is their right to do so. It is our right to hack that device as well. Just don't blame a manufacturer for your inability to modify a device they created. I have both a rooted FTV and a unrootable FS. I'm very happy with both. Sure, having the stick rooted would be awesome, but I bought it for the functionality it has. out of the box. Anything more is an added bonus.

Agree or not this was a thread about a potential root possibility for the device. A perfectly appropriate conversation for, you know, an android DEVELOPMENT website.
