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.

If the booader isn't locked then flash TWRP then Latest SuperSU. This got me root.

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....

The method is the EXACT same as it was on KitKat for both Sprint AND T-Mobile (as well as the Verizon Dev Edition). About a million guides were posted before. A quick search will bring them up.

I know that beta just came out and people are joining. Aside from 920F I want to know if they are going to beta test other models or not and if Root is still possible.
Now that the new official MM is coming, who has been brave enough to try it and see if root works or not?
I buy samsung for the root if not...i have to go with nexus and motorolla...i think i will go with droid turbo 2 at least i will not worry about droping it on the ground who cares as long as samsung makes type this devices that cannot support Roms...they will Fail soon just like nokia failed...imagine if samsung makes unrootable device just like knox stuff....LOL shut down the factory !
Now that the official update is out, has anybody confirmed systemless root via SuperSU? My Knox isn't tripped and want to keep it that way.

I am not sure, I was on the latest MM update from Verizon.
My phone got wet a few months back and my NFC has not been able to turn on since. Also, I was also having issues adding fingerprints though I could use fingerprints that were in there before. I thought maybe doing an ODIN flash may help atleast verify it isnt software related.

You always bootloop when downgrading a major version. Have to factory reset in recovery and then you'll be fine.
