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).
