SmartQ T7 Root

Hi all

Recently I bought SmartQ T7 and want to tweak it, root it, etc. This page will help you with the device. First if you have bought SmartQ T7, and when you plug into Windows (me is Windows 7), you will notice that Windows is unable to detect the device and only shows Android Eclair in device manager. To start making your device SmartQ T7 recognized by Windows, download this :

Plugin SmartQ T7 to your computer, then right click My Computer, Properties, Device Manager, on the portable Devices right click and click Update Driver, then extract the downloaded file, and click Browse my Computer for driver and point it to the directory you extract. Then it will recognize your SmartQ T7 device.

Next you will need to download Android tools, go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then download the android-sdk_r09-windows.zip (current version, later may be different) extract the file and run SDK Manager.exe and then select all packages and click Install it takes a while (1 GB size), then click Available Packages and install all again, take 1 GB size again (total around 2). Now with this installed, you will have ADB tools which is a software that enable you to connect to your android device to do anything you will like to your device!

to make sure that ADB working correctly, go to command prompt and type : CD "\android-sdk_r09-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools"
(you may replace the path to reflect the place you extract the zip file)
Then run : ADB devices

You will see a serial number of your SmartQ T7 device, which means that ADB successfully connect to your SmartQ T7. Now its up to your creativity to begin exploring android and tweak your SmartQ device. I will post anything I found later in this website, please rate this articles!
