BlueStacks Beta 4/3 ROOTED & Play Store Guide
- Thread starter AndroidFileHost
- Start date
Hi guys!
After doing all the previous steps, and applying the BlueRegistryMOD.reg, my blustacks gets stuck at the starting screen.
I have the 0.7.2.751 version. I cannot install the 0.6.xx version because it gives me an error about some sidebar I do not have...
Is there any way to get root access on the latest version?
Getting the correct "system.img" file for my version will make it work? Extracted the system.img from root.fs original file and still stuck at loading screen.
Cheers!

It seems, that the new version has Google play store integrated already.
After installing ADW-Launcher, you can see the icon on the home screen.:good:
So I only changed the "hosts" file, because of the crappy, annoying ads.
EDIT: This was already mentioned before, but I can confirm it now.

After installing BlueStacks open up Registry Editor. Browse to -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\BlueStacks and Select it in the node tree on the left. Your GUID is under one of the key names listed in the listview on the right.

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.

App history
Hi,
In order to gain some game offers I need to unistall/install bluestacks several times.
Installing/ unsitalling the game app is not enough. It seems that bluestacks keeps some apps record somewhere...
Do you know a way to remove the app (or the history) without the need to unistall the bluestacks?
Or there is any software that can save an image of a fresh install? That way I can always revert the instalation.
Thanks!!

3. Copy them to /data/bst
4. Give them these Permissions
(rwxr-xr-x) or through adb:

5. Reboot Bluestacks

Changes that need to be made to the registry are contained in BlueRegistryMOD.reg
FILE: BlueRegistryMOD.reg
***WARNING***
YOU MUST ENTER YOUR SPECIFIC USER ID BEFORE RUNNING BlueRegistryMOD.reg !!!
Where the registry key says ENTER-YOUR-GUID-HERE you need to enter the number (with dashes) found here:
FIND YOUR SPECIFIC GUID HERE!!!
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BlueStacks]
“USER_GUID”=”SOME-NUMBERS-HERE”
Example of a GUID:
“USER_GUID”=”8dfcb602-4b7d-11e1-9dc9-f3dea6cb4293”
Example of a modified “BootParameters” with correct GUID and changes made to mount /system:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android]
"BootParameters"="root=/dev/sda1 SRC=/android DATA=/dev/sdc1 SDCARD=/dev/sdd1 GUID=8dfcb602-4b7d-11e1-9dc9-f3dea6cb4293 armApps=true GlMode=1 OEM=BlueStacks "
***ENTER-YOUR-GUID-HERE must be changed in 2(two) places in BlueRegistryMOD.reg***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS THE PROCESS:
***Make sure to exit BlueStacks before proceeding***
1. Paying attention to the guidelines above, place the following files in their correct location – this includes initrd-betahack.img, ramdisk.img, and system.img.
2. After finding your GUID and making the appropriate changes to BlueRegistryMOD.reg in 2(two) places, run the registry file.
3. Start/restart BlueStacks – go to the Start menu>type Start Bluestacks
4. Start adb on your computer
a. Connect to bluestacks - #adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555
b. Ensure you have root access - #adb root
i. You should get message: “adbd is already running as root”
c. Mount system as read/write - #adb remount
d. Remove ‘dummy’ superuser - #adb shell rm /system/xbin/su
e. Push x86 superuser to BlueStacks - #adb push su.x86 /system/xbin/su
i. su.x86 must be in the same Windows directory you are running in the console
f. Correct the permissions for superuser - #adb shell chmod 6711 /system/xbin/su
g. Remount system read only - #adb shell mount -o ro,remount t-ext4 /dev/sdb1 /system
h. Exit adb by closing the console window
5. Restart BlueStacks – go to the Start menu>type Start BlueStacks
6. At this point you should have root and read/write access.
a. Verify root using a tool like Root Check. I suggest Root Check Pro because it will point you to what the problem is if you do NOT have root.
b. Verify read/write access using a tool like Root Explorer.
7. Enjoy.
***This is a sure-fire way to get root and read/write access. However, I find that there are still issues with GAPPS (gmail, calendar specifically)

Extended system.img
http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Misc/Bluestack/Extended system.img/18Lost, Confused, Cant get the Market to run with the instructions above?
Alternative Way-UPDATED 4/2/2012 :
I have uploaded a modified root.fs to my site for you to download
I added the the market per the instructions in the tutorial on the blog.
Steps:
Download the root.fs and overwrite the current root.fs on your computer.
Location:
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Android
Make sure to stop all instances of BlueStacks before overwriting the file. Also Please Please make a backup of your original root.fs before overwriting the file with the modified one.
Once you have copied over the new root.fs start Bluestacks and wait for it to load up.
Congrats you have the newest Market running on BlueStacks.
You might need to install ADW Launcher inorder to see the Play Store/Market. It doesnt show up in the bluestacks launcher
