Hello, and welcome to my YouTube channel! I'm Rob, and in today's tutorial,
I'll be showing you a quick and painless method to obtain root access
using Kitsune Mask, also known as Magisk Delta,
on the latest version of BlueStacks. This is the 2024 edition, and I'm thrilled
to demonstrate that this method works seamlessly, whether your PC is cluttered
or a fresh build. It's important to note that this guide is specifically
for non-Hyper-V installations. While I haven't developed a guide
for Hyper-V yet, the steps are similar, and you might find helpful resources
on platforms like XDA or GitHub. Additionally, I want to address the recent trend of one-click scripts
that claim to do the same job. I'm a bit old-school;
as stated on my page, no external scripts
or tools are necessary for this process. Right now, you can see I am showing you
my README hosted on my GitHub page. Check out the description below for links
to more information and resources. Alright, let’s dive in. First, we’ll download the Kitsune
Mask, aka. Magisk Delta APK file. The stable version should do the trick. Next, head over to the links
below and download BlueStacks 5. If you’re a bit cautious, feel free to search Google
for an alternative download link. Proceed with the BlueStacks installation
by accepting the default values. I'll make sure the default installation location matches the one I'll reference
throughout this guide. If you follow the steps as I describe,
you shouldn’t encounter any problems. By default, the installation includes
three applications: ‘BlueStacks X’, a cloud-based emulator, ‘BlueStacks Services’,
and the ‘BlueStacks App Player’. During installation, I recommend
uninstalling the two formers as soon as they appear;
these are just unneeded bloatware. I sort the list of installed programs
by date installed, so when I hit refresh,
it should appear in the list. Uninstall them both,
but leave the App Player. After installation finishes, a ‘Pie64’
instance will automatically start. From here, you can get to
the Multi-Instance Manager via the toolbar on the right. Or just search it from the Windows
Start Menu. Either way, stop the ‘Pie64’ instance
once the manager opens. In the Multi-Instance Manager,
create a new Android 11 master instance. You will need to set up a few things;
follow along with my choices, or if you have some of your own, do it. Do not run the instance
after it downloads. There is no need,
and it would just be a waste of time. However, once the download is done, close the Multi-Instance Manager,
and let's get down to rooting this thing! Navigate
to the ‘C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks_nxt’ directory
to find the ‘bluestacks.conf’ file. If you don’t see the
‘ProgramData’ folder on your C drive, you'll need to enable the option
to show hidden files in your OS settings. Right-click on the ‘bluestacks.conf’ file,
and you'll have the option to edit it with Notepad or,
if installed, Notepad Plus Plus. I'll be using the latter. Here, you’ll need to change two settings. You can do this manually or via
the replace all function in Notepad. Change 'bst.feature.rooting="0"' to 'bst.feature.rooting="1"' Change 'bst.instance.Rvc64.enable_root_access="0"'
to 'bst.instance.Rvc64.enable_root_access="1"' Save your changes and then
head to the 'C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks_nxt\Engine\Rvc64' directory. You must edit two different
files: ‘Android.bstk.in’ and 'Rvc64.bstk'. In each of the files, there are two values
for two different keys that must be changed:
'fastboot.vdi' and 'root.vhd'. So, at the top,
you should see those two keys, or you could use the replace
all function again. Either way, make sure you change the values
in both files from 'Readonly' to 'Normal'. Save your changes
and open the Multi-Instance Manager. Start up the Android 11 instance. Drag the downloaded Kitsune Mask APK file
we downloaded earlier onto the emulator or use the 'Install APK' option
from the sidebar to sideload it. Once Magisk is open, click on Install at the top right. In the new pane that follows, click next on the right
and select the bottom radio button for 'Direct Install to System Partition.’ Followed by Let's Go on the right. If successful,
you'll see the success confirmation log. If it fails or you do not see the option
to install directly to the system partition, close the Kitsune android
app, reopen it, at try again. This time it will be there. Afterwards, close the instance
because we have one more thing to do. Head back to the 'bluestacks.conf' file and change the settings we set
earlier. Specifically, change 'bst.instance.Rvc64.enable_root_access=”1”' back to ‘0’. I will show you how to confirm this worked
by running the instance again, and you will see the Super User
and Modules, as well as the setting for root,
are enabled. Happy Hacking. If you found this guide helpful, don't forget to subscribe,
