Find Bluestacks SD Card Location in Your PC

Q. Whats Bluestacks?
A. Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products revolve around enabling Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh computers and Windows tablets. The company was founded in 2009 by Rosen Sharma, former CTO at McAfee and board member of Cloud.com.
Steps To Find SD Card in your PC
First Download 'Root Explorer' (Included Below) and Install 'Root Explorer' in Bluestacks
Decide on which directory to give access in BlueStacks. You can either choose an entire hard drive, or a particular folder of your choice.
Access the Windows Registry by going to Start >> Run and type in 'regedit' and hit Enter. This opens up the Registry Editor.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ SharedFolder\0.
Right Click on 'Path' and click on 'Modify'.
Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card. (Example C:\SDCard)
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
You can find the folder at '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/'
Note
If u don't wanna change your Registry, You can simply copy and paste the file's that you want in SD Card at 'C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\' and find the files at above location in Root Explorer (ie '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/').

Open Root Explorer and go to one of the following location.
(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/

There is no such folder "User data" in "C/program files/bluestack/".
I want to install game data. What to do?
I have installed root explorer & running latest blue stack. Installed yesterday only.
****************************************************
UPDATE : Let it bro. I change the registry & that solved the problem.
Actually i dont want to do that. But, couldn't wait to play games....

you guys should really read more than write. Just like OP said if you dont want to modify registry then just goto
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\
and paste your file there

Shared Folder problam
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ Shared Folder\0

YEAH! Finally found it again! Thanks mate

Has anyone noticed that this shared folder has limited functionality when trying to transfer files from Bluestacks to the PC? It seems like if I try to copy something larger than ~300 megabytes Bluestacks will freeze up. Titanium backup is also unable to successfully use that shared folder as a backup location (also freezes up). I'm trying to find a good way to sync my app data (or at least transfer the Titanium Backup backups to my PC). Any ideas?

How to copy file from window to Bluestack or Bluestack to window
1) download and intall root explorer on your phone
2) go from your computer
3) My Documents/Downloads and paste there any files
4) now open root explorer n go to this path: sdcard/windows/documents/downloads
5) you will find your file under "Downloads"
so the folder "Downloads" is the only path through which files can be transferred between window(computer) and bluestack..

i cant find the iserdata folder in c:/programefiles/bluestacks

After flashing stock ROM on my Moto G I was not able to use Wi-Fi, it does not turn on. So I tried some other ROMS from various countries and nothing. However when I flashed the Nexus G - beta 4 custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606943) I got it working again.
Can someone please explain what is happening, and help me?

Solved
So, I got it working again. The problem was indeed in the persist folder, it was missing a file named WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin. So I managed to extract it from the persist.img and moved it to persist folder again. After that I edited the bin file and inserted my MAC address. Finally I have flashed my phone to stock ROM again and it worked just fine.
Here's the file:

fixed
Thank you so much this fixed my problem as well

Ok. Let's try but first let me e sure how to do it.
1. Edit persist.img with the .bin file inside.
2. Installl stock rom on my phone.
3. Flash persist.img in fastboot mode.
It's that correct?

First of all check if your persist folder is missing the bin file I have mentioned. If it is, You have to extract that file from persist.img or You can just download the one I uploaded.Then you must edit it and insert your mac address and after that you just have move it to the persist folder using a root explorer.
I could not flash persist.img, bootloader was always returning an access denied message, so i figured a way to explore the persist.img file using LinuxReader and extracted the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin from it.
So basically i ''flashed'' persist manually. Copy, edit, paste.

Thanks
Fixed
I have 2 days searching the solution and try with so many files.
Thanks

Please, could someone explain me exactly (for n00b like me) how to solve this problem?

Solved

I formated /persit folder also, tried install stock rom, but no success with wifi
The problem is: i have no persist folder inside root and when i try to create it, the folder was gone after reboot.

Wi fi problem
Hi guys,
i've a Moto G 16 Gb purchased on Amazon.De, so german phone. I live in italy and when i connect to wi fi no problem. When i go in switzerland and i try to connect to another wi fi net (my girlfriend's line) provided by Swisscom, it doesn't work: well, i insert passoword, but it cant connect ... i called Swisscom, they tried to reset router and so on , but still persist this problem. The person (swiss) that sells me the phone (i bought it as used) said that he has the swiss provider Cablecom and it didn't have any problem. I'm fully stock with 4.4.2 . Anyone has any idea? thank you
ps: with my galaxy s3 i have no problem both in italy and in switzerland

Can anyone help in explaining the above?
....to a relative newbie? I've downgraded from 4.4.2 down to 4.3 and now my wi-fi is not working anymore, the MAC address is lost.
I'd really, really appreciate any help with regards to the procedure in going about fixing the 'Persist Folder' .
Thank you for reading.

Please make any method to solve Persist folder
Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 XT1034 UMTS...

I'm sorry, but can you please elaborate? I'm have this wifi issue and it's really annoying.
You say to extract the file from persist.img, but where exactly do I find that? The file you uploaded is not persist.img.
How would I edit and insert my mac address?
Where is this persist folder? I can't find it anywhere.
If you could respond that'd be great.

The file which he uploaded in post 3 was extracted out of the persist image.

You'll find persist folder at /persist.
You need filemanger with root permission, the you can see this folder.
So copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin to your SD card. Use your filemanger to copy this file to /persist.
Activate wi-fi, the you'll find your mac adress under Settings > About Phone > Status > Wi-fi MAC Adress
Open WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin on your phone with a text editor and type your mac adress inside that file and save it.
I have not tried it because i did not have this issue. But this is the way how i understood it.

simply copied the file in /persist, set permissions and rebooted
No MAC adress to enter
Works fine now

Thanks, very much!
You resolved me
Only its the put the WCNSS in the /persist folder and OK.
(You need to have the firmware with /persist).

[Q] IMEI has gone after wipe

Hello, I have a jiayu G3T ( G3QCT ) with JB Android 4.2.1 installed , but yesterday it occurred to me to look for a custom rom 4.2.2 , I downloaded the rom, and follow the instructions ( wipe data / factory reset wipe cache && && wipe dalvik ) then install the new rom, everything seems to be right , but when the phone rebooted , I noticed that said " INVALID IMEI " and did not detect the SIM card ...
I have no backup of the IMEI ( if I have the sticker underneath the battery)
I reinstalled the rom I had before jiayu , which comes standard rooted ,I have tried uncle tools and the application of jiayu , I entered the engineer mode so I went to connectivity CDS information Radio information, phone 1 & 2 wrote 2 lines (one for each option )
AT + EGMR = 1.7, " IMEI "
AT + EGMR = 1.10 , " IMEI "
but when you click on send command says " command failed to send, even after pressing repeatedly says " command was mSent " but on reboot, nothing has changed, and the IMEI is still not valid .
I tried the mtkdroidtools but says it was all right , the result is the same, nothing changes
I also tested the MAUI META 3G & IMEI and SN WRITER but I have not gotten any results ...
Someone could tell me how to fix it? thanks

I'd suggest you re flash stock rom using SP Tools, then use SN Gen to create a MP0B_001 file. Then place the generated file on your SD card, use root explorer, copy the file you have placed on the SD card and move it to /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/, and set the file's permission to rw-rw----.
Then reboot and enjoy.

stock rom
and where i cant get that stock rom? could you link it to me?

sn_gen

I see that the website is in Spanish, so I may interpret the files incorrectly.
I'm gonna presume that you have already downloaded and installed the required MTK VCOM Drivers, and the device's drivers which are also given on the website. Install both if you haven't already.
I see there is a scatter loading file present under the downloads. Download the scatter loading and the latest ROM. Extract both the ROM files and the Scatter Loading file to a same single folder. Then use SPFlashtool and select the scatter loading file from the extracted folder, and check ALL the boxes.
Then remove the battery from your phone, connect the phone to the PC, and click "Download" on SP Flash Tool. After it finishes, you should see a box with a green circle, which indicates the flashing was successful.
After that, put the MP0B_001 file on your SD card, and follow the steps given by me on post #2.
And don't forget to hit thanks if I have helped. =]

They want to just rip money off you.. All MTK devices have only that one way of restoring device's IEMI which I have listed above., as far as I know.
You can try doing the following (This is just speculation, I have never tried this but it MAY work, as a MP0B_001 file and a backup generated by Mobileuncle MTK tools have the same output when opened via a text editor.)-
After generating an IEMI file, open it using Notepad. Then copy everything written in it, make a new notepad file and paste it there. Save that file as "IEMI.bak" file, and put that in your sd card.
Then install Mobileuncle MTK tools from Play Store, give it root access and go to IEMI backup/restore option. You should find your saved backup there. Hit restore from SD card, and pray that it works.
If it doesn't work, then I'm sorry. Send the phone over to your manufacturer if all else fails.

Nokia 3 build number and serial number lost

Hello,
so I accidentally flashed Nougat through SPF Tools and choose format all + download, so I lost both serial numbers and also Build number..
I searched all over the forums and found multiple threads here and there, but the problem is I don't have original serial number, I've searched in the phone box and found nothing.. I cannot open bootloader nor flashing TWRP through SPFT works..
Any idea how I can retrieve build number back?

NVM, I fixed it. If anyone had this problem you can contact me.

When you open the firmware folder there is another folder in it called extra files. In that there are 2 files named nvram and proinfo. You have to flash those files too.
ibb. * co/y0c5fJs
You have to change android scatter file in the main folder. Open android scatter file and search for nvram Just change file_name : nvram.bin and is_download : true as shown in the image. Then search for proinfo (proinfo.bin) and do the same. Then copy both nvram.bin and proinfo.bin to main folder While flashing, only uncheck preloader and flash everything as Download only .

ibb. * co/VL0wJdk
P.S. : I was having a problem (error :2004). But it was solved after I updated my phone to android pie.
But after the flash my phone was not starting. It was just vibrating after every couple of seconds, and the same error kept showing up when I tried to flash the files again.
turns out that the problem was the Download-Agent. So I changed that and the flashing went perfectly.

How to change MAC address ?

Hello, it turns out that yesterday I was changing ROM's but there came a time where to enter the configuration of one of them I realized that I could no longer turn on the wifi, the first thing I suspected is that it was mac address problem so I went to check and indeed, had a mac 02:00:00:00:00:00, then I thought that flashing again with the stock rom would be fixed but to no avail, what can I do to change to a functional MAC ?

Hint: Replace this thread's absolutely sensless title by How to change MAC address ?

Hi, the error was that the wifi folder (located inside /persist) had been deleted, I simply had to modify the stock rom to repair that folder when flashing, that solved my problem.
