Root lost after restarting Bluestacks 2 about libsuperuser HOT 5 CLOSED

This has nothing to do with this library, this is for app developers looking to utlize root access.
You should post your issue in an appropriate SuperSU thread on XDA.

This come a bit late. And I agree that this is out of topic. But just in case anyone ends up here I will leave a few comments based on my experience.

After rebooting effectively the su binary is either corrupted or just not accessible neither by SuperSU or any other app. The solution is to remove the su binary installed by SuperSU. You can do that with Bluestacks legacy su (commonly in /system/xbin/bstk/su).

Execute this on Terminal Emulator

# This get a root shell
/system/xbin/bstk/su
# mount /system partition on read-write mode
mount -o rw,remount /system
# remove the corrupted su
rm /system/xbin/su

After this you can use SuperSU to install the su binary again and it will work until reboot. I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the infomation but i can't just do that. Kingroot does not act like that. the root was permanently. Rooting with SuperSU gives temporary root until reboot.

And i did not know that this is out of topic because i thought it was an open source of the app.

@evildog1 Actually having a temporary root has its advantages, for example running apps and games that don't run if detect a rooted device. I have created a simple app that automates the process of fixing the su binary. You can check out the code here https://github.com/lordscales91/bluestacks_su_fix

I'm not playing any games that detects root. i wanted to install SuperSU because Kingroot has annoying portait rotation bug and the annoying game booster pop-up that disturb me, ruins the gameplay, and make me lose the game
