[ROOT]ROOT BLUESTACKS BETA-1 0.7.2.751

HEY GUYZ,HERE IS A VERY EASY WAY TO ROOT BLUESTACKS BETA -1 ON, BUT THE ONLY DISADVANTAGE IS THAT IT WORKS FOR ONLY VERSION 0.7.2.751…..

I HAVE TESTED THIS METHOD OF ROOTING AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR ME AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU.


THINGS THAT YOU ARE GONNA NEED


1. FILE SPLITTER/JOINER SOFTWARE- DOWNLOAD IT FROM HERE AND INSTALL IT.


2. THREE ROOT FILES THAT YOU HAVE TO JOIN LATER USING THE ABOVE SOFTWARE.DOWNLOAD THESE THREE. Remember that all the below three files should be in one folder.

ROOT.001 

ROOT.002

ROOT.003

The password for the above files is : erbil. 

METHOD OF ROOTING

1. Open File Splitter/Joiner Software and select the tab “JOINING” and click on the adjacent button showing “1”.

2. Here you need to select the file Root.0.7.2.751.001 i.e. the first file you have downloaded and then click on join button and wait for it to complete.

3. After the completion of the above process, you will find a new Root.0.7.2.751.7z file in the same directory as the part files.

4. Open this and extract the Root.fs and README.txt file.

5. Stop all the BlueStacks processes form the TASK MANAGER

6. Copy the ROOT.FS file to (Windows 7) C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Android. OR in (Windows XP) and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BlueStacks\Android replcing the previous one AND REMEMBER TO SAVE A BACKUP COPY OF THE PREVIOUS ONE IN CASE OF ANY FAILURE LIKE NOT STARTING…

7. After this RESTART BlueStacks and you will have the root access.
