I tried to root the Galaxy Tab 3 Kids US model #SM-T2105 via the directions listed here (this thread lead me to believe this would be possible).
Now it is stuck in a recovery loop. I have tried switching back and forth from TWRP and CWM without any luck. I noticed I only have adb access in CWM (not in TWRP).
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Downloaded stock from http://pc.cd/fbp and flashed it with ODIN.
thanks to all who replied!

It is possible that you can boot your Tab into Download mode ?
Than flash the Stockfirmware by Odin, but before make an fullwipe with the recovery,
When you are back at stock, flash the CWM and the root .zip from gr8nole s thread SM-T210 / R
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
I am able to get into Download mode, but I am unable to locate the stock firmware for my device.

How do I do that with Odin? It does not have .zip files as selectable when you browse for files.

THANK YOU!!!
Super big thank you to all in this thread. I also have a T2105 Kids that has been stuck in recovery for 2 weeks after a botched rooting -- during summer vacation, no less. This fixed it right up!!! (P.S. I flashed it over the back-up and so far it looks like we're near 100% of what my kid had before)
THANK YOU from a desperate Momma!!
blessings to you and this forum

This should work for the OP fine, this is the method i used. Remember to give the device a few minutes at the samsung logo after your flash completes, can appear its not doing anything, just leave it to do it's thing. If still stuck after 5 mins flash again.
thnx

You can indeed use the old firmware you already have, but the latest one would be better, since you're already gonna flash something, flash the latest one, yes which is AMD6. Make sure you have the same device model as in the firmware name before flashing with Odin though.

Have you problem with the new SuperSU?
I have read this: "Be careful with that version of SuperSU. It is not yet stable (on the N4 at least). There is an issue where for some reason (and we haven't figured it out yet), you lose root, and the daemonsu process starts eating up ~70%+ of your CPU time. Battery dies pretty quick. "

could you make a small guide with the steps you followed for flashing?

I've had already CWM installed, I'm assuming you also have it:

Adb sideload worked fine and I didn't lose any data.

IMO, Use a One Click exe file in Wilco's post then you have to add a custom recovery to flash roms. There are also videos on youtube, look for QBKing IMO his are the best.
All custom roms have hotspot working, but if this is a phone for someone else, you should pick something close to stock TW. A lot of the AOSP roms have little things that dont work that keep it from perfect. Unless you want a calls all the time asking why something doesnt work, stick w/ a TW rom

Answered your questions via PM, you'll also need the Hotspot Mod here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879140 (use the GB27)
Sorry for the intrusion..
Simply visit this thread for the Odin one click. There are four types. Of the four, two preserve data and two reset data. And in the two groups there are Stock and Rooted versions. Personally, I prefer the reset data stock root. (2nd Option/Link). Nice and clean afterwards . Also good to use because your device could by some twist of fate be on an older firmware. Unless you prefer that. This is the latest GB27. Oh yea, QBking root video is on the thread as well.

Then you can download this file I bundled up. It is 37MB and includes:

2. Mobile Odin Lite 3.85 - Tested & Works amazingly. (Also cracked MJ7 on the S4. Woo!)
(Pick your poison!)
(ONLY FLASH THIS IF YOU HAVE A ROM READY TO BE FLASHED RIGHT AFTER! CAUSES BOOTLOOP. RECOVERY ACCESSIBLE ONLY)
3. StockCWM-EL26.tar.tar (It has tar written twice and I forgot to edit it before the upload & NO. Do not extract it. -_-) Flash with Mobile Odin.
(Agat is safe to flash and boot back into your stock rooted device. BUT! Some ROM's require you use EL26 and flash directly to their ROM after install.)

As for the tethering app. Just hit the Play Store with a "android tether" (without quotes) search.
Hi guys,
recently bought this A5 at reasonable price( 50$). It goes fast as any other 4-core brand named device i have seen. But it came with much bloatware such as a search service that somehow i cant stop. I must disable it once a day and then again tsoup! it is on again...Anyway that's why my first thought was rooting the device.
Sometime ago i rooted and old samsung with just a click. But this blackview seems to be solving the circle square. No support, google says little only some russians i can not understand.
So, to end this story i need help to root this device. Flash a modded preinstalled rooted version maybe?
Thanks in advance...
Edit: Managed to root it finally. just flash supersu via twrp(3.03 custom recovery image from needrom site)...8 hours piece of cake ^-^. Thank god for the last beta version 2.79 SR3 201xxx of supersu. All the other version had me to bootloop.
Hi there, please tell me how you did it. Some links to the correct files would be great.
Kind regards, Skyfire

I flashed the recovery.img with sp flash but when I enter recovery mode, twrp doesn't show up...
Instead, the stock recovery mode boots up.
sp flash says that the flash was successfull but it doesn't work out for me...
btw I only flashed the recovery.img. I didn't flash any boot.img or anything else.
any ideas what went wrong?

That's hell of a problem...did u select the scatter file in sp tools? maybe your firmware is different version? if i remember correct there are 3 versions of blackview A5. I have the A5_C1_Blackview_SD_Q20160709. If different then u must find a twrp for your version..Sorry mate
There is a thread over at 4pda with different versions of twrp but the links are all down. Maybe if you find somebody that speaks russian ore use google translate you can get it there.
Today my new A5 arrived and of course I wanted to root it.
But I have a new Build number = A5_C1-Blackview_SD_Q20161010
Also the drivers are not working.
Does anybody ca help me out ?
thx in advance
My build = A5_C1_Blackview_VO.X_20160420
Would this be a good idea...? Or a bad idea...?
If I go into: Settings -> About phone -> Wireless update
There are no OTA updates available... But there is an option to install "Local updates". I can select the "SuperSU" zip but I get warnings about bricking the phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, would this produce desired results? Or brick the phone?
While I'm here, what about installing custom ROMs, eg one of the 6.0.1 ROMs from needrom.com?
helo, i want to root my blackview 5, i already downloaded all files that should be used to preparing the root. but the problem here is all this files and procedures are odd for me. can you screen shoot how to root start at the beginning? tq
