Bluestacks is a popular Android emulator that allows users to run Android apps and games on their computers. While Bluestacks allows you to enjoy the Android experience on a larger screen, some users may want to have root access to unlock more advanced features and customize their virtual Android device. In this article, we will guide you on how to easily root Bluestacks emulator without the need for any additional applications.
Step 1: Checking Root Access
Before we begin the rooting process, we need to check if the system in Bluestacks emulator has root access or not. There are various root checker applications available on the Play Store, but for this method, we will be using the Root Checker Basic application. Install the Root Checker Basic app from the Play Store and open it. If the app shows that root access is not available, we can proceed to root Bluestacks emulator.
Step 2: Locate Bluestacks File
Firstly, we need to navigate to the folder where the Bluestacks emulator is installed on our computer. By default, the Bluestacks file is usually saved in the Local Disk C. Open the Local Disk C and select the Program Data folder. To ensure that all hidden files and folders are visible, make sure the “View Hidden Items” option is checked in the folder settings.
Step 3: Opening Configuration File
Once inside the Program Data folder, select the “Bluestacks_NXT” folder. Inside this folder, we need to locate the “Bluestacks.com” file. Right-click on the file and select “Open With”. Choose the Windows built-in Notepad to open the file.
Step 4: Editing Configuration File
When the file opens in Notepad, make sure that the text is not elongated by selecting the “Word Wrap” option in the “Format” section. This will ensure that the text is displayed in a readable format. Now, press Ctrl + F to open the search box within Notepad. Type “root” in the search box and locate the “bst.future.rooting” line.
Step 5: Enabling Root Access
In the “bst.future.rooting” line, change the value from 0 to 1. This will activate the root system on the Bluestacks emulator. Similarly, in the “enable_root_access” section, change the value from 0 to 1. This step is crucial if you have multiple Bluestacks emulators and want to root each system separately. Save the changes by pressing Ctrl + S.
Step 6: Verifying Root Access
To check if the rooting process was successful, run Bluestacks emulator again. If you have installed the 32-bit or 64-bit Android Nougat version, you will see the “Root Access” checkbox in the device section of the settings. To confirm root access, open the Root Checker Basic application and check if it shows that root access is now available on both Android systems in Bluestacks emulator.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully rooted the Bluestacks emulator without the need for any additional applications. With root access, you can now enjoy advanced features, customize your virtual Android device, and take full control of your Bluestacks experience. Remember to exercise caution while using root access and only make changes that you are confident and knowledgeable about. Enjoy exploring the possibilities of rooted Bluestacks emulator!
