Any love for the Samsung Galaxy Amp 2?

I got it free for transferring my service and I use an unlocked ZTE Zmax Pro as my daily. It seems neither phone hasn't progressed far into rooting and recovery. This is just a feeler, better yet a nerd troll for any others who are interested in obtaining root for this device. Having obtained the device yesterday all I've accomplished thus far is getting Odin and a recovery image. I don't trust click root apps so I tend to venture down the ADB path first. I have a dual boot Linux/Windows setup and a expendable device. Any others game?
