Telstra T-Touch Tab aka Huawei S7 root

Hey guys, just got my hands on one of these suckers, it runs 2.1
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get root?
Im also looking for froyo, however dont expect it soon, manufacturer is working on it.
Sent from my S7 using XDA App

I second davidcampbell! We need froyo here

The root method is the same as the s7.
download z4root from market and root, after wards install busybox by titanium backup and you are set.
The app2sd mod works for this device since it is similar to the sony x10 on 2.1 but is risky because i lost wifi aftewards. So just explore until we get some real developers working on it hopefully cm6.1 port but after huawei realeases the recovery.img and source to mess around with though.
being able to overclock to 1ghz wouldnt hurt either.

S7 Bootloader?
Has anyone figured out how to get into the bootloader for this device?

Havent been able to through any apps \ commands. Just go to a black screen and thats it, and recovery sends you into factory settings for your device
I only know that pressing back key and call\send key when when powering on the device puts it into update mode.

Zomg, nice, thank you alexisprz, it's rooting time
I really wish Android had a better term for rooting, it sounds like I'm either breaking it, or trying to cram my man bits into it some how.
Will this affect my ability to use the manufacturers update to froyo in the future?
UPDATE: z4root worked great, I installed busybox no problemo, very happy forum member here

sir i just bought one telstra touch tab can you plz help me to debrand it and unlock it i also have jtag too

[Q] Error while remount a partition read only

I have a rooted HTC and need to create a custom file in /system/xbin. I execute a mount command (for read-write permission on /system), create the file, remount /system in readonly and after that my file magically disappear. Here are the commands I wrote in a su shell via adb.
Code:
[email protected]:/system/xbin # mount | grep system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p35 /system ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
[email protected]:/system/xbin # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 /system
[email protected]:/system/xbin # cd /system/xbin
[email protected]:/system/xbin # echo test > myfile
[email protected]:/system/xbin # ls
daemonsu
dexdump
dexus
myfile <- 'myfile' is created
nc
su
[email protected]:/system/xbin # cat myfile
test
[email protected]:/system/xbin # mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 /system
[email protected]:/system/xbin # ls
daemonsu
dexdump
dexus
nc
su
PUFF after remounted /system in readonly my file is disappeared. Any idea about this?
NOTE: If I try to re-execute the commands, my HTC restarts itself ... EDIT 2: As you could see in the 'ls' command output, in /system/xbin exist 'su' installed with a root tool. How could this root tool install 'su' permanently?
