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..
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!
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
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.
