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.

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.

Please note, I have a Note 915G.
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?

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...

We can't. No Kernel source has been released, and Android M needs a new bootloader which is unique for each model.

I was going to but after reading thru the threads, I'm gonna hold off for official release (which should be soon for European S6) becasues apparently the battery drains from an unofficial upgrade path is pretty serious. And some people are getting force closes. I really really want to tho, so I may. I mean KNOX isnt important to me. Still debating.
Hello, not new to rooting at all. Just got an S6 build G920VVRU4BOK7 and apparently I can't find a way to root this device without tripping KNOX.
Can anyone point me to a thread or something where this has been discussed? (yes I searched and nothing came up)
I'm running 5.1.1
Thank you,
Cody

What phone currently available for Verizon network IS rootable?
Any of the Note variants?
Any Nexus model?
I don't mean it has to be purchased at Verizon just capable of running on the network.

The title and OP in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/root-list-root-apps-t3106204 - reads as if rooting the phone is possible.
That said it doesn't detail how to root and none of the other threads seem to indicate it either. Last I checked rooting the S6 was not readily possible, especially if you care about not tripping Knox.

Yes, firmware versions OE2 and below can be rooted. The OP is talking about version G920VVRU4BOK7 which cannot be rooted. There is currently no rooting method available whether it trips KNOX or not.
