not only do you need to be rooted, but you are going to need an unlocked bootloader.. so depending what phone you have, you could be out of luck for now.

I was able to get rooted w/ TWRP using Odin 3.09.
I followed these instructions, but i did not use the android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip, i used a different one I had on my sdcard already. I dont think it matters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514821
the first time i attempted it failed and replaced TWRP with the stock recovery because i forgot to un-check the automatic reboot box.
My second attempt i *unchecked automatic reboot,* unplugged the tablet from my computer *before* rebooting it into recovery, worked just fine!
Got TWRP installed just fine, but when I open SuperSU, it says there are no binaries installed.

Its either Note 4 or Note Edge.
It can't be both.
But Googling your Model #, you have the Note Edge.
First time I've heard of a SM-N915W8 variant.

There is no root currently for the AT&T SM-N915A Galaxy Note Edge. Some are working on it with the Note 4 and its thought that when the Note 4 does eventually get root, then the process can be applied to the Note Edge.
Here is the thread for the Root Progress

Wait, - correct me if Im wrong, but you only flashed TWRP and Supersu from stock?? .....and that alone gave you root without CF-Autoroot?
Is that possible?

Yep...
A lot of people have tried and found it works,not just me...
If you plan to root your phone try my way first,as long as bootloaders AREN'T locked then try CF-Autoroot if it doesn't work...
It doesn't do anything that you weren't going to do yourself(Knox will be triggered), except miss out on flashing cf-autoroot, getting an error message and having a heart attack before pulling out the battery and essentially doing what I suggested...

The bootloader is locked and at this time, we do not have root. There are people working on getting root accomplished on the Note 4 (AT&T and VZW variants), that will work on the Note edge.

If it is the root method using the exploits that they are currently working on it should work as our device is vulnerable as well. However, if it is a different vulnerability that is exploited, it isn't guaranteed that the root method would work on the Edge.
Already answered question...
I gotta look at my "Repeated Quotes" more often....
As above... These 12 hour shifts are starting to take their toll...

You can pretty much give up on xposed for N. Maybe all together. The dev is just more focused on real life and google keeps closing the security holes that things like xposed uses. Also he would already be working with the android O code

This is my first Samsung device since the S4 I knew this bootloader is locked, my question is once there's an exploit for root and we are able to flash ROMs through flashfire is it an easy method? I always used twrp, and if I wanted to go back to stock or something messed up how would I restore everything? Please and thank you

Root My Hell !!!!!

So I have a galaxy s6 original from att, I could never get it to root. I just switched over to tmobile, I have unlocked the phone and installed the newest update. Still will not root. What am I missing? What the hell is going on, there is no way I have the only unrootable s6. Side note spell check does not like "unrootable". Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.
