Intel X86 emulator accelerator (HAXM installer) VT/NX not enabled

Question

I`m asking how to enable my VT/NX for my MacBook, when I try to use X86 emulator, it appears to me that VT/NX NOT ENABLED, it had never seem this when I used 10.9 system, after I update my MacBook to Yosemite, it appears to me.

When I try to start my x86 emulator, it tells me:

Starting emulator for AVD 'X86'
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX is not installed on this machine (/dev/HAX is missing).

But the AVD shows me that I had installed HAXM.

When I try to install by myself again, installer prints VT/NX NOT ENABLED.

I can not post any images…

to mindex's answer:

I tried running all versions of Intel HAXM I could get:

IntelHAXM_1.0.8.dmg     
IntelHAXM_1.1.0_for_10.10.dmg     
IntelHAXM_1.1.0_below_10.10.dmg      

But it did not work.

Solution 1

From the Intel Instructions

"The SDK Manager will download the installer to the "extras" directory, under the main SDK directory. Even though the SDK manager says "Installed" it actually means that the Intel HAXM executable was downloaded. You will still need to run the installer from the "extras" directory to finish installation.

Extract the installer inside the "extras" directory and follow the installation instructions for your platform."

Solution 2

Go to the SDK manager in your IDE and install the latest "Intel HAXM" and start the emulator.

If it is throwing the error as:

Starting emulator for AVD 'X86'
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX is not installed on this machine (/dev/HAX is missing).

It means that some hardware graphical features are to be assigned.So to overcome this problem just go to the path where you have your Android SDK installed.

Windows

C:\Android\SDK\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

There you can find the file intelhaxm-android.exe.

Mac OS X

On macOS there is a IntelHAXM_X.X.X.dmg file, mount it and you'll find an mpkg-file.

Install the file and restart all the applications using android emulator such as android studio, cmd, etc.

Now try to open the emulator it will work fine

Solution 3

You might be running an older version of Intel HAXM (or haven't installed it at all). Go to https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager and download/install the latest Intel HAXM package for MAC OS X.

EDIT: according to https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/506790 you should also make sure that Virtual PC/Parallel/VMWare is not running.

Solution 4

Version 1.1.1 is the correct version for Yosemite. You need to download this directly from intel's site: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager.

The one downloaded by SDK Manager is the older version (1.1.0). If you still want to run with version 1.1.0 - refer to the solution here - http://www.csell.net/2014/09/03/VTNX_Not_Enabled/

Solution 5

1.To install the virtualization driver:

Start the Android SDK Manager, select Extras and then select Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager. After the download completes, execute /extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/IntelHAXM.exe. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation.

2.If it show any problem restart your computer and inter in BIOS an enable Virtualization Technology ...

user3847306's answer is the way to go.

Why can't you accept the answer ? :(

Run ./sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/HA‌​XM\ installation and enter password admin result: Silent installation Pass!, works for me.

[silvermouse]

The problem persists even after executing HAXM installer. All this happened after upgrading to Yosemite.

[Martin Marconcini]

If you had HAX before yosemite and you upgraded, you will need to install it again (both the SDK and the Intel DMG, what will tell you that you already have it and it will be re-installed). That made it work for me.

1.1.1 is now available in the Android SDK.

You @user4683987 are the man (or woman)! works great. thanks!

For the lazy (android-sdk installed with homebrew): cd /usr/local/Cellar/24.4.1/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_E‌​xecution_Manager && open IntelHAXM_6.0.1.dmg. You may have to update your commands based on your install method and software versions.

[Paul Rad]

After download your need to run : sudo /usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/24.4.1/extras/intel/Hardware_A‌​ccelerated_Execution‌​_Manager/silent_inst‌​all.sh

[Nick Brady]

If you want to run the .dmg through finder, you can unhide the Library folder from your user directory with this command: chflags nohidden ~/Library

Paul Rad's comment worked a treat for me on OSX 10.11.4 with android-sdk/24.4.1_1/...

[Chucky]

I had to use the dmg, the sh files didn't work for me.

[RBT]

True! Android SDK manager was deceiving in this case. I had to rerun the installer intelhaxm-android.exe present at location C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\H‌​ardware_Accelerated_‌​Execution_Manager to get past the issue.

[Ashish Singh Rawat]

Path will be C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras
