If you used the Starq7 0.13 mer firmware - you should try to install with the firmware named to SmartQ5 (have both "SmartQ5 and SmartQ7" on)
If the chinese writings ends with a

you should reset and try again (rename firmware?) the chinese should end with

I am having a similar problem. Except I flashed Mer ok but now it seems I'm stuck with it.
When I try to go back to the original firmware it hangs with the chinese writing. But when I give it up and reboot I still have Mer.
Tried the sd update tool with no joy.

I'm following in your footsteps.
Bezeen's post above helped me reinstall the Chinese firmware but I'm still working on the language issue.
I did not have success trying to follow the procedures here: http://www.jiongtang.com/fourm/viewt...&t=630&start=0
Eletroworld provides the link for its English language pack here: http://www.eletroworld.cn/nb/download/language-en.rar.
I have the unpacked the Eletroworld RAR file (language-pack-en-base.deb and language-pack-en.deb) to the SmartQ 7 Chinese desktop but I'm gun shy about going further.
I do have a request in to e World for help but Alex has not uploaded his guide because of problems with his netbook.
Were you able to reinstall the English language pack?
If so, would you mind posting your steps?
If anyone else knows, please reply, too.
Thanks.

before picture 3 you have a hidden text - but just go to /etc/default open as root (pic 1) edit locale as in pic 3 -> zh_CN to en_US - save, reboot

I'm in /etc/default and tried to open /etc/default/locale as root and I get an error message--"Failed to run pcmanfm --no-desktop '/etc/default' as user root." Then, text in Chinese with the English word Xauthorization and a Cancel button.
It would help if I knew Linux, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
If I just tap once on the file, locale, it opens in Leafpad and I get what is shown in Pic 3 on the above site.
Do I edit it and save as:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="zh_CN:zh:en_US:en"
Let me know and thanks for your help.
