Rooting Bluestacks – tutorial (Bluestacks 2)

We all want our Android emulators to be rooted. In some cases, that can be done in one click (Nox), and in other we need to write tutorials about rooting (we won’t name it 🙂 ). Rooting Bluestacks can be complicated, because there is more than one version that is in use. This method will work on newest Bluestacks 2.
Before we start with tutorial on how to root Bluestacks, let’s say something about this tool.
As we can see on Filehippo.com,

“BlueStacks App Player is a great tool for allowing you to run your favorite mobile apps/games in full screen in your browser using a PC or Mac.

We already wrote about it, when we try to make Cheat Engine work on Bluestacks [LINK]. But in this article, we will see how rooting Bluestacks can be done.

Rooting Bluestacks

No, we won’t root it with Kingroot, because it does’t work like it should.
Instead, you will only need to install BS Helper [LINK].

• After you have extracted it on you computer, drag&drop superuser_X_PRO_vX-48.apk in Bluestacks.
  It will recognize it as app, and install it.
• For the next step, start BSHelper.exe, and click on Patch for Superuser X.
• After a while, app will start inside Bluestacks emulator, and the popup will show that rooting Bluestacks is finished successfully.
• Now, just reboot it, and the job is done.
• Enjoy in your rooted device.
