Hello everybody I just wanted to let you know that I finally rooted my Galaxy Tab 2 from sprint. I used Kingo Android Root to root this bad boy. I installed Titanium Backup and it worked like a charm. Now I am going to install the xposed programs as well wish me luck.
i would suggest using something a little less malwarey to root. kingoroot and vroot have been shown to install backdoor libs on your device. i would recommend cdyia impactor.

actually if youd like to help out, seeing as you are now rooted i could help make recovery and a firmware restore package for this device so everyone could have root no matter what updates come yalls way.

I am looking to root a stock Sprint Galaxy Tab 2.

Are there any step by step guides or one click options?

I did look on the Kingo website but did not see the device listed.

Thanks

I also have an SPH-P500 that was just rooted today with Cydia Impactor. Bootloader you say? Any way I can help?

I was able to root (Thanks!), I am trying to now find my MSL. I tried getmymsl, MSL reader, and getprop ril.MSL with none of them working. Sprint has not given after two phone calls. ANY app or suggestions on reading the MSL for the Galaxy Tab 2 ?

Thanks

impactor also worked for me

Cydia Impactor worked like a charm for me also.
Impactor also worked for me for those who havent done this yet search cydia impactor, first site open it download for which ever os your using, download run program, super su should show in the window all you do is hit start and it loads su into your root assuming you have tablet connectedd to your computer with usb debugging on and vuala!
