Problems?

If you find any problems comment below or visit official XDA forum. Or visit official site of Bluestacks Tweaker. Unable to Root with Root:Patch::False error? Try BS Tweaker 6 Alpha, https://bstweaker.tk/zip/BSTweaker6/BSTweaker64070.zip

Quick Tip

If you need apps/games run faster in emulator but the performance is not good in your low spec PC, then you can try Android OS instead of emulator. Android OS(s) are OS for PC that can be installed in PC(s) and use them like emulators. The different is that in emulator you can only have some resources left for android while installing Android in PC(s) gives Android full resources. That’s why emulator is slow. There are many Android OS. Some well known are Phoenix OS, Remix OS and Android-x86. You can try any of them in your PC.

    Can you be a little more clear in your instructions? Step #2 has me completely lost. What is “force kill”??? I’ve clicked every single clickable item on the “Main” tab and there is no option fo “force kill”

    hi, I’ve successfully rooted my bluestacks 4 but I’m dealing with a problem miserably, my Last Cloudia JP app doesn’t work and always gets me to a black screen, my app is working fine not until I rooted it for fast rerolling. Is there a way to bypass black screen? Any help is appreciated.

    Does bluestack site also allow me to get other application that is not seen in google play store? How does it work and will it be safe to install this to my phone? Is it safe and free of viruses? I just want to confirm and erase my worries. It seems that this will be very helpful for me, especially if I need some applications that I need for school. I hope someone can enlighten me here. Thanks.

    Ok… So… That very short experience would be exactly what I would refer to as the most NO-FRILLS root of any Android device I’ve experienced to date. And I’ve been rooting with Chainfire since the days of Galaxy S 5’s. Anyway’s… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, and then probably again, and even yet aga,,, ALRIGHT I’ll stop. PLEASE for the love of (your) god, READ the instructions. Word by word, line by line and to the top and over again until you understand what you are doing. Take your time and pay close attention and I promise you that you will figure it out. Most of you anyway.
    @ OP, Very nice job. I literally had it done in 5 minutes start to finish. Thank you very much for keeping it short, sweet and effective. Unlike this post…..

    I click “Start BS” and wait until it loads completely. However, when I go to Root tab, “Patch” button is not click-able.

    Bluestacks won’t open after rooting. It loads up to like 98% and then nothing. I tried restarting computer but still won’t open.

      Only if you have high end PC. Instead of playing PUBG Mobile in emulator, it is better to play PUBG PC Lite. If you want to play PUBG Mobile in a low end PC, install Phoenix OS which is an Android OS.

    It shows AM:Root:Patch True on BS Tweaker…
    But when I open SU on Blustacks it says that BS is not rooted.
