I have downloaded Genymotion Android Emulator for personal use. I searched over internet to root this device, forums says that via adb shell its already rooted -"agreed". 

Sumits-MacBook-Pro:sdk eSumit$ adb -s 192.168.57.102:5555 shell
root@vbox86p:/ # 
root@vbox86p:/ # whoami
root

Found Genymotion configure apk, it will help to root access, if checkbox get clicked - "always allow su access", I did that as well, and then it get stuck like here. (see below)

If I restart by myself, it shows that no root access ?

May I know what I am missing here ?

Here are the pictures sequence :

I have also followed various tutorials e.g. Youtube - how to root genymotion emulator Android 7.0 but no solution yet

Apparently, there is some problem with the su binary. You can re-install it by downloading SuperSU zip archive and dropping it onto the device window. Restart will be needed.

Please note that the current version (2.79) does not seem to work due to missing /etc/fstab file on Genymotion systems. It works fine with 2.46.

Make sure you have already installed Genymotion ARM Translation.If already, Drag UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip to Genymotion Emulator(not sure other versions of SuperSU zips), and drop on it.It will confirm to flash zip file to emulator, click OK .After waiting for a while, you will get successfully message.Then, restart your emulator and check it with any Root Check App.Here is Tools file if you haven't it.I tested it on Google Nexus 5,Android 6.0 Emulator.I hope this will help for you.

Maybe it uses Iso file mounting system like Bluestacks that's why I guess it can't be rooted and also if it says its rooted then you can use UltraISO to modify root files only if it uses ISO file system.

  • Since I am very new on these keywords e.g. what this means : "UltraISO" – Sumit Arora Mar 29 '17 at 11:08
  • @SumitArora UltraISO is a application which have the ability to mount and modify a ISO file with udf header, you can use it to Modify files of the emulator if it only uses Iso file systems. – PRince4 Mar 30 '17 at 07:24
