I'm pretty sure bootloader is locked up pretty tight, so rooting it will be like rooting AT&T note 4 no root as of yet.
I too will be eagerly waiting for root. I can live without changing ROMs/kernels but until I got the Edge I never really knew how much I needed root for everyday things.
Yes, Please I am also looking for a root to the AT&T Note Edge N915A.
Also I hear the new OS lollipop is coming to the Note 4 & edge around the first of 2015.
I'm looking for a root for the AT&T note edge as well.
+1 hell I'll throw down some money to the person/persons that get us root.

It may be worth pledging for root (just note that it has to work for ATT note edge in your comment) in this thread. I assume if it worked for the note 4 it will work for us
It says Verizon in the title but the thread is for both ATT and Verizon variants.
(If there is an ATT specific thread for bounty please link it)

I'm willing to put in $100 towards getting this rooted.
.I bought mine as an AT&T and not even knew it it said T Mobile in the ad it takes my tmobile Sims but its the AT&T version so its locked up I guess but hasn't it been unlocked to put T Mobile on it that's what I don't understand. anyways I still have my note 3 and its rude if I love it I use everyday I spent $800 on the edge and I want it rooted bad I'll put $100 towards getting it rooted if we can figure out a way
Does anybody know how to get a pledge going let's get up let's going for the AT&T note edge please I need root I can't grow without roots
I'm really suprised that no one has made a root for this version of the note edge.
They already have root for the note 4 and edge for AT&T and Verizon. It's supposed to be released soon. Go look in the note 4 thread

SM-N915A Android is Upgrading
Sorry to change the subject, im all for root as well. Just need some advice. At&t variant seems to be the only one without any support for the firmware, Im going through hell trying to get mine out of a boot loop! It says android is upgrading, optimizing apps, and only goes to 102 sometimes. it says 267 apps and shuts off at 30, 40 50 and 102 is the closest it got. It keeps re booting and staying in the same cycle. Ive searched high and low through every site and forum for a fix. The down side is I am not a At&t account holder so they wont help with any support. I bought it off of craigslist to use it with straight talk and it worked great for about a month and then this update for lollipop and now stuck!!! Can anyone advise?
where is an official rom
where is an officil rom of sm-n915a and how can i unlock the wifi to see others wifi but at t?

The issue is AT&T says we will buy it if you lock it to us so we can keep our customers and make it more of a chore to leave our company. Samsung says ok because we want the sales and that's why it's done... Samsung can care less once they sell you the phone what you do with it and they already built ways to know what you did to the phone for warranty returns. (So they can deny the claims that are caused by you not listening.)
If you want to get mad at anyone get mad at AT&T just like verizon they play every trick in the book.
That's why if you buy a phone full price you always go international version

I have heard of that happening from people that buy online but I don't know much about them I believe someone in one of the threads (that was an at&t or samsung source) said they were at&t branded internationals (meaning they were to be sold through at&t for corporate or maybe coverage outside the US?, though I don't know much more because I only stay up to date on the US versions
If you just bought it you might want to check your buying source (example amazon will give you a new phone if you buy the international that's meant to be used with several carriers), if you have owned it for awhile then you're in the same boat as the rest of us.
I don't think the bootloader will ever be unlocked unless..
A law requires them too...
Someone finally finds a exploit (which because less likely as more people switch to newer phones)
They have a security leak like Sony where the key is discovered.

Or at the very least stop the store worker from updating it when you first activate it. When I bought mine she took it out of the box, turned it on and immediately accepted the update notification and installed it after it downloaded when she put the screen protector on..

You should have made her give you different one. I do not and will not allow a store clerk to setup or mess with a phone I'm buying. :good:

I would have had I known that AT&T locked their bootloaders. This is the first phone that I have owned that had one, and until I tried to mess around with it I had no idea that one could lock a bootloader.
Sadly, I won't be able to get the Lollipop update unless I want my phone locked down forever because I am one of the few people that is still on the MDL firmware which can use the LOKI bootloader bypass to boot custom ROMs.

Sorry, guys I originally had a Verizon S6 Edge but I switched to ATT and got an S6 Edge+ when they came out and Verizon said they might not support Samsung Pay. I'll make sure to switch forums.
With today's announcement of Samsung Pay's impending release in the US, I was wondering how one might get involved in the beta testing. According to The Verge, " 'select US users' will be able to take part in a beta test beginning on August 25th." Any way to sign up to be one of those "select users" or will they hand it out semi-randomly?
Sorry. I'm guessing this should be in Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hear ya. I've resisted doing a full root (did pingpong) to see how this would turn out. When I upgraded in April it was this feature that made me go for the S6 instead of the Note 4. I'm hoping someday someone somewhere will find away to have both root and Samsung Pay. For now, I'm just keeping my options open until I can decide if it's worth it.

The Sprint S6 just received a firmware update today that specifies that the update includes a new feature named 'Samsung Pay'. Once the update completes I'll check out the Samsung Plus app to see if I can join the beta.
Update: Samsung Pay app available, but it's just an advertisement saying Welcome and that it is coming soon. I found nothing in the Samsung Plus app for signing up for the Samsung Pay beta either. Tick tock...

Whats the difference between samsung pay and google wallet?
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA Free mobile app
Samsung pay supports both NFC and MST. Google wallet, Android Pay, and Apple pay only support NFC. Samsung has the only phones that supports MST. Basicly, it means you can use your phone to pay even when the store has old outdated terminals.

Thank you for contacting the Verizon Wireless Chat Team. One of our skilled Chat Representatives will be with you in a moment.
Your Chat
Hello, my name is Kat. I’m happy to assist you with your question regarding your device.
How can I help you today?
kelliepito: Hi my name is Juan I have the galaxy S6 and would like to know if its going support Samsung Pay?
Kat: Hi great question. I can surely check for you. Allow me one moment please to see if there is any information regarding that feature.
Kat: Thank you so much for your patience.
Kat: Samsung
kelliepito: ok
Kat: Here is what I have found according to Samsung site. the s6 is one that does show that it has the nfc detection area on the device. we actually have a special sim card that inserts into that phone to allow the nfc to work
kelliepito: so will Verizon support it?
Kat: I've checked the system on my end, I'm not getting anything about this showing that our device does not support it. We do have all of the requirements for the NFC currently enabled in the device. I'm checking a co-worker phone right now to see if this is something that shows can be downloaded in the play store as I do not see it on the phone
kelliepito: ok thanks
Kat: You are welcome. allow me just another few moments please
Kat: Thank you so much for all of your patience. seems that this is not something that we will support at launch. I've checked the play store to see if there was an application for it and i'm not finding either as well.
Kat: according to the Samsung site right now, ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, and US Cellular are supporting this at launch
kelliepito: NOT GOOD
Kat: The device does have currently the technology inside of it to allow the important piece of the program to work. I would wait to check back on Samsung site as it nears the date to be sure that our phone will support it in full
Kat: Samsung Pay
kelliepito: WHY ONLY VERIZON NOT SUPPORTING IT?
Kat: I really wish that it was something that I could truly tell you. As of right now not every one supports this. It could be some type of incompatibility issue with the network. I'm not all that sure since the program has not yet launched. in my system there are not any information on the samsung pay. You are more than welcome to contact Samsung to see if they have more information on it. but its not to say that we will not support it, as of right now, we do not support it
IIRC, Verizon never got around to supporting Google Wallet and other payment methods for a good long time. Don't they have a proprietary "wallet" app? If it smells like a fish...

they (verizon) have soft card
Android Pay is upcoming with Marshmallow but then again its VZW. SoftCard was bought by Google.
It could be technically the Radios/Modems in the VZW variant that has some incompatibilities but that is doubtful since Sprint uses the same chipset.
my 2 cents
I talked with Verizon again and they really don't have a clue. I've got my rooted S6 on swappa and Samsung Pay was a pretty big selling point for me so I'm kinda happy I lowered the price this am

Your phone is rooted so Samsung Pay won't work on it. Regardless of the carrier. That is one of Samsung's rule on using Samsung Pay. It checks to see if your device is rooted.
Losing root was always a possible side effect of using Samsung Pay. The whole point is now we might have it delayed or not have it all together.

That would require you to make a couple of edits and/or bypass the root validation. If you modified the apk you likely compromised a very important security function as they are tied together. I'm not going into detail as I don't want to be responsible for someone leaked financial information. Don't do it unless you know what you are doing

That would require you to make a couple of edits and/or bypass the root validation. If you modified the apk you likely compromised a very important security function as they are tied together. I'm not going into detail as I don't want to be responsible for someone leaked financial information. Don't do it unless you know what you are doing

If I Odin back to stock, I am no longer rooted. I could then take the OTAs to get to OG5. Once Samsung Pay is released I would be good to go. Shouldn't need to modify any apks.
What sense does that make you just searched out a phone you could root .

Ok, you've officially lost me. What are you talking about? If I searched out a phone I knew I would be able to root, I sure as heck wouldn't have gotten the S6 on launch day. Just so happened a root method became available shortly after. If Samsung Pay becomes available on the Verizon S6 (assuming I haven't sold the phone) I will unroot it in order to use Samsung Pay.

I talked with Verizon again and they really don't have a clue. I've got my rooted S6 on swappa and Samsung Pay was a pretty big selling point for me so I'm kinda happy I lowered the price this am

You intentionally purchased a rooted phone. Samsung pay will not work on a rooted phone. Don't confuse other members that may buy a rooted phone thinking it works with Samsung pay

I did not purchase a rooted phone. Maybe you misread my post. I purchased it on launch day. I then rooted it with ping pong root which does not trip knox. Returning to completely stock is as easy as flashing a tar file in Odin...at that point you are no longer rooted. From there you can take OTAs and when Samsung Pay hits, you'd be able to use it without any problems. Does that clear it up for you?
I never once said anything about being rooted AND using Samsung Pay. I DID say it was easy to unroot so you could use Samsung Pay.
I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.

Here's a download link for the Samsung Pay .apk file I found on the Korean link. It lets me install it on my Samsung S6 Edge+ running android 5.1.1.

You're correct about it requiring 5.1.1. I don't know if it also checks the version of Knox associated with the latest firmware version but it does check the Android version at least. Until we get root on 5.1.1 for Verizon there will be no way to cloak root for apps that check it.
