Root for Galaxy Tab 2 for Sprint SPH-P500. - Galaxy Tab 2 General

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.

How is this solution working for you?

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?

Cydia Impactor worked like a charm for me also.

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

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!

If you downloaded root but it didnt actually root your phone, this may be your prob

My problem was that I would download SuperOneClick and it would not give me actual root. The SuperUser icon was in my app drawer but if I tried to use any apps that required root access they wouldnt let me. When I opened Super Manager and clicked "Enable Root Access" a popup would come up and it would say something like "Your ROOT image will not work" or something like that.
The problem was this:
I found out that I had downloaded the most recent version of SuperOneClick. This version will not give root if you had the official 2.2. update. You needed to download the 1.5.5 version.
I hope this will help anyone who made the same mistake as me.
anybody? im freaking out since no one else has had this problem.
Try enable USB debugging
Settings > Applications > USB Debugging > Enable.
You should repost the OP with the solution in case someone else has the problem, if not people will search in vain.

good idea. Ill do it now.
Thanks alecjake, I am on ka6 and have heard there were issues with the latest SuperOneClick. Odd that an older version can root froyo but the newer version can't. Very helpful advice.

One thing you also want to do, is after using superoneclick is to reboot. That way root actually works.

I also have problems with rooting my andriod, I ran Titanium Backup but it required root access to work, so I downloaded z4root and universal root apk, it says that my phone is rooted but still Titanium Backup cant detect any root access.
Also my Link2sd App(app2sd alike) also requires root, I think I rooted my phone but still doesn't work. A noob like me really need your help guys.. thanks in advance..
BTW i am running 1.6 andriod firmware.
Easiest way I've found is to use AIO Vibrant Toolbox. I'm on my phone so I can't link it but just go to the development section and look for the post with the program name in the thread title. It's super easy to root with it. Just follow the included directions!

1.6? do you have a t959 vibrant? if you do, you need to get to stock 2.1 JFD, then you can follow these instructions:

or go with the AIO toolbox which is more user friendly

Lost Root after New ROM install

Ok, so... I'm not new to rooting, but i AM new to rooting a nexus 7.
I had it all rooted and installed Baked's new ROM, and it gave me superuser permission when I booted into the OS the first time.. but then I restarted the nexus and bam. root was gone, superuser no longer worked... had to reload my backup of my original rom, root is back again.
I'm running CWM touch as recovery (latest update) had OTA voodoo rootkeeper (which won't help though because its a fresh install right?)
Can anyone tell me what is going on? I'm a bit lost... usually when you root. You are rooted. period. This is a new game to me.
Use this program to root it again mate:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
On the top left corner, it lets you choose your model and ROM.
Just choose custom ROM for any non official ROM's.

thanks! just downloaded it ... any suggestions on a great ROM? i've tried a few, but there are so many. lol!
update youre superuser or supersu app. i suggest you get the supersu app from the market since superuser is a bit buggy on jelly bean. open the supersu app, itll ask to update the binaries, do it. no need wasting your time "rerooting".
No worries, glad I could help Unfortunately, I've not ventured into the different ROM's yet. Should really....... So I can't recommend any. Sorry Though I do like the look of the ones that have the real tablet UI, might try one of them in a few days.....
Though you know what your doing, if you do need any help, you know where I am
If you could press the thanks button mate, I would really appreciate it Cheers

after you do it(supersu), with a root file explorer like root explorer go to /system/app/ and delete the superuser.apk and reboot.

if you ever read that you have to reroot, think twice about it. rerooting is what people that dont know better say. as in this case, it was only a bad app.

that's what i was thinking.. I've rooted so many times before and once you're rooted. you're rooted unless an ota takes the root away, but... i was just installing roms... so weird... superuser just doesn't work well with Jelly?

yup. it works, but with minor issues. supersu is working flawlessly. another thing to do is update your busybox, stericsons busybox updater in the play market works well, and is free.

with any nexus device, there really isnt a "rooting". from scratch all you need to do is fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), fastboot flash a custom recovery, and either flash the su binaries or a custom rom in your recovery. no root toolkits needed. thats whats awesome about any nexus.

Thanks to xBeerdroiDx - leave a thanks for his effort.
The Ax says Good luck and good day!
If there is no backup/restore option than you are in stock recovery and won't be able to flash anything anyways. Please visit the I337 guide in my signature for the next steps after obtaining root. Cheers
We really should get you and Ax's guides/how to's stickied. They are great. If guide has no post for a day or two they get pushed down list. And folks may not see them as not everyone searches well.
I know Ax wasn't interested, but maybe we can get him to change his mind
How about it Kenny--
Without hi-jacking this gentleman's thread...sorry OP.
The reason I do not want a sticky, is if you are on a cell phone and doing xda, you have to physically use the stickies button, and there went half the traffic, that is having to use an extra step for non-readers, an extra step is disastrous. You know, to much work.
Now if you have a solution, I am all for it!
The Ax's opinion only!

Sounds to me you don't have root. If you don't have SU in the apps, your not rooted, and if it is asking you to install SU, you are not rooted...the way I use to check root is terminal emulator from the market, run that, and at the prompt type SU, if it says command not found, you are not rooted.
You want a little advice...you need to flash a TW rom first, get used to whats going on, then go for the complicated roms.
The Ax says....again my suggestion only!

Not right off, I open XDA app go to my Favorites, this Forum obviously, open General Section and Stickies are a choice at top along with Topics and Announce. I just don't see the issue vs having your great Guides/How To's available. I think most folks on the app or tapatalk are experienced and know for the most part what they are doing. But, the noobies will be on the pc and see the Threads quicker if Stickied. IMHO Sir

Ematic EGQ780-BU Android 4.4 tablet root?

Looking to root this thing so I can uninstall some bloat and install Xposed. I realize that it's not the best tablet but it was cheap and I wanted a tablet. I've installed roms and rooted various devices in the past but that's about as far as my knowledge pertaining to this sort of thing goes. I have no idea if this is the proper place to post for this but if it's not then please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help.

@andi1235 - We can successfully root our Ematic Android devices using the Kingo ROOT application for Windows. I learned about this tool from a post I found on Google+. Hope this tool will work for you, as it worked for me thus far.

Still waiting for SM-G360V root......

I'm beginning to get frustrated with this one. Need help!!!!!
oh please ,you can download kingroot(not kingoroot) , on my g360f it works fine
Well it didn't work on my g360v.
Rooting sm-g360v
Yes you can root this phone i just bought one and rooted it with KINGOROOT but use the pc version it has shown to have more success and you may have to try a few times as the program i think trys different methods.......although i am going to warn you if like to customize your phone and flash roms through twrp and you got the phone from Verizon (which i think the sm-g360v is correct me if i am wrong) the bootloaders are locked so rooting it would be pointless bc as far as i know nobodys been able to find a way to unlock the bootloaders....which is why i quickly got rid the phone and went back to my old one.

Try King Root 4.9.6. (search kingroot xda in your search engine choose newest build) xda dev gatesjunior has an app on the playstore called SuperSuMe if kingroot bothers isn't your cup of tea
I got it rooted with 4.5.2 kingroot but it was partial so I had to unroot it now it just restarts and doesn't hold root.
