It will not detect any other data card like (my datacard) Macromax MMX 353g 3g datacard. Could you please crack the kernel version which should supports all data cards…that would be the great help for all us indian….Please take this has challenge..Keep me updates on this blogs..

I have successfully rooted using script here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
I have also sent mail to Datawind to release kernel sources. Once I receive them, development will be started.
I won't be developing here on XDA, I'm MADTeam moderator and will post there. Don't ask about ETA. I'll start developing after this March.

Great.
Now time for custom ROM.
But before that we need kernel sources.
Email datawind tech support. Call them. Make pressure. Ask them to release it immediately as they're violating GNU GPL license.
Do let me know if we got anything.
Edit: Whoa! Interesting thing I came to know:
I was preparing up to build CWM, I did searched for recovery partition. But it was pretty hard, as there's no mtd in /proc
I contacted a Recognized Developer psyke83, he did some checks and we concluded that Datawind most probably stolen codes from a Chinese company Allwinner.
Allwinner's tab partition / build is 99% similar to Ubislate. This all happen (I pretend), as Allwinner gave license to manufacture around 10,000 model of their tab.
And datawind used their code to build Ubislate series (Even hardware specs is similar too).
TL;DR
This means datawind might not easily release kernel sources. Threaten them. We need to get kernel sources, as they might have modified a few things.
This will also reveal their secret.
Edit 2: Tab is Skytex Skypad Alpha 2. Don't flash anything from that tab, now.

I used a CWM recovery which is meant for Allwinner tab and it worked in Ubislate 7ci . I have attached it here Please use it at your discretion, No guarentees that it will work in your device.WARNINGAfter this recovery I flashed an incompatible CWM touch recovery which softbricked my 7ci
Ubislate 7ci in bootloop

Great.
Now, please sign this https://www.change.org/en-IN/petitions/datawind-release-kernel-source-code-for-ubislate-devices-2 petition, so that we can get kernel sources.
Everyone, please sign this petition. We'll get custom ROMs after kernel source code release.

Yes. You can download adb.exe and supporting DLLs from the multiple avenues available and use it. You probably would need the Google driver from android SDK for your device to be recognized by adb. I have attached the copy of my drivers.

How do i install it?

Do you want a small or detailed guide?
Here are the steps I followed to root my device. You could follow all the steps or drivers part by using the drivers from my last post.
