3Q QPadThere are a few different methods to hacking the system internals on the QPad by 3Q. The one we prefer to use is the Root Genius method. If you want to root 3Q QPad running Ice Cream Sandwich and install root-only apps from Google Play you can do that easily by following the guide below.

REQUIREMENTS

  • You should have the software version set to Android 4.0. This tablet likely won’t see an official Android 5.0 Lollipop software update. Therefore, this rooting method should work fine for your device.
