Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 3

[sparker781]

Need some help rooting my Sprint Galaxy Tab 3. A friend of mine gave it to me, it was on Sprint and since I don't have Sprint I wanted to root it and put a custom ROM on it.

Device Name: SM-T217S
Android: 4.4.2
Kernal Version: 3.4.0-1715729
Date of Kernel: Tue Aug 4 19:52:12 KST 2015

Not sure what other info is needed

Thanks for the help

I just did this. [GUIDE] How to root a Sprint Samsung Galaxy … | Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 | XDA Forums

You basically put Odin on your PC. Install Samsung USB drivers-should happen automatically with Windows 7, etc. Put SuperUser on a sd card and put that in your tablet. Once in Odin, you install TWRP recovery via the instructions. You then boot into the TWRP recovery and use that to install Super User. Once that is done you reboot and are rooted.
