Root help: rooting galaxy tab 3 sm-217s

Can someone please give me a step by step description on how to root my tablet. Every video I've watched ends up with it saying my root was unsuccessful a little disheartening. Can anyone help please?? It's also the one for sprint if that makes a difference.
 
You sure did get a whole lot of responses here, didn't you.......

I was hoping to find some answers as I'm trying to do the same thing, but haven't been successful yet.
 
I posted this on another thread awhile back.
