Answer 1

That's how I solved this issue with a different device.

• Download the drivers, unzip in a folder https://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top
• With your tablet plugged, go to System -> Device admin -> Android Device -> Properties -> Details -> Hardware ID
• You'll find something like USB/VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY, we will need those XXXX and YYYY later.
• Go to the folder you put your drivers and edit the file android_winusb.inf manually.

• Add this:

  ;MY PHONE
  %SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY
  %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY&MI_01

• Save the file

• Go back to device manager and try to update the driver with this one. (Driver -> Update driver -> Search in my computer -> Choose from a list -> Use disk).

That worked for me on a Quechua Phone.
