Note 4 owners over in the Verizon section are putting together a fair effort to investigate rooting themselves. We AT&T users should have a similar thread.
The Verizon thread, for reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/talk-root-t2908919
T-Mobile and Sprint have CF-Autoroot but not yet for AT&T and Verizon. So (I think) a new root should work for either, all the more reason to work together.
In the Verizon thread the general process was posted:

I have no vested interest in this (other than seeing vzw get screwed over) but someone needs to get the ball rolling here:
1. Grab the Odin tar then boot.img to get kallsyms
2. Post partition info
3. Grab kernel source and confirm latest Linux kernel cves are patched/not patched
4. Find PoC for Linux exploits for 2014 Linux kernel cves and port them to android and test
If you have to ask what any of the above are/do Google is your friend.

Feel free to read through the other thread for info on CVEs and stuff.
The Verizon owners have to wait for kernel source but I guess our's is already posted (N910A):
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=Sm-n910
SHA1 and SHA256 for the kernel source zip that I downloaded, for reference:
99e00529ce613548664f3c986cd7df886b54caa0 SM-N910A_NA_KK_Opensource.zip
9a5dfcbcd1b77367507b9374afd4f1e1afd505255ff48b4d3779b235974650c0 SM-N910A_NA_KK_Opensource.zip
This might not be necessary as someone like Chainfire may already be working on a rooting method, but we might make it slightly easier.
Any contributions by more knowledgeable people are greatly appreciated.
Anyone want to post their kallsyms, boot, or full image of an AT&T phone?
I'll try to post myself if I can figure out of I'm supposed to use Odin or if the way the Verizon owners got their's was with some Verizon-only tool.
We have firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/stock-to-stock-odin-flashable-tested-t2915915
The kernel source is here:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=Sm-n910a
That should get us started.

Nice! Yeah the kallsyms should definitely be in there.
Here are the kallsyms from the ATT image.
I've been googling but I can't figure it out
How do you get partition info from kallysyms?

You don't. The kallsyms are information about the internal kernel functions, useful for writing code which gets you root access.
Partition information sits in a .PIT file inside the factory image (if it's available), or you can dump it from a running phone.

They match the Verizon kallsyms. Good sign for finding a root method that works on both. :good:

They shouldn't match the Verizon n4 kallsyms... They should be different, if not then someone odd is happening..

Edit: Gah, still had kernel.Image extacted from the Verizon image, and didn't notice the message saying "kernel.Image: already exists; not overwritten". The attachment above has been updated. My apologies, and thanks for catching it.
This may be interesting though. The nexus devices have a check box in the developer settings to OEM unlock the phone. Basically you just check a box and it's boot loader is unlocked.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-6-9-requires-checking-box-developer-options/
Maybe this can be used to find a loop hole on lollipop for this device. I think there could b be a small chance this device could get unlocked after the update. It might actually be easier.

While I appreciate the speculation, that's all this is, and at the moment we don't have Lollipop. I believe the OP specified good steps that should be looked into. I have downloaded the source code but am not exactly sure how to be looking for other then doing the steps as outlined: Finding the build date of the kernel then looking up know vulnerabilities in it. Obviously this is going to take a while and makes sense on where to look. Why focus on something we don't have when we could focus on what we do.
tl;dr We need to stay focused on the current task at hand. Also it'd be nice if this thread didn't get derailed with speculations.

I write custom enterprise software for phones. I own many including 2 different Note 4s. Most provided to me by my company. So no I still have the AT&T Note 4, I also have a T-Mobile variant for the time being. My team also has a sprint model as well.

I don't see it either. Their tweet says our phone specifically has been added. Not sure of the supported devices hasn't been updated or what. I'm kinda sketchy about trying stuff that I haven't seen discussed on here. Does anyone know if the stock firmware is available yet.? At least that way if someone ends up with a brick we can at least Flash it back to normal

Pretty sure the Verizon crowd already dismissed this method. Likely a hoax.

Tried it and didn't get root.

First of all you're in the wrong thread, this is for AT&T devices and your SM-N920V is a Verizon device which cannot be rooted as of yet and I suggest you use the Verizon thread to avoid confusing people and flashing stuff for the wrong device.
Ii belive users were waiting for an update and if they made the update available to download away from the phone. Update was required so users could build a root for att galaxy note 5. From what I read

hi all
yeaterday i bought like new N920A which is has unlocked sim.
i came here for rooting and surprised that it cant root anymore.
but the confusing think is my note 5 has a firmware without at&t bloatware completely and even the bootanimation is samsung logo without at&t logo...it has firmware like international version...and has august 2016 security patch.with knox 0*0 and official firmware
how did they did that?i searched in internet only found method to disable the apps ??
iam afraid from updating in odin and all att bloatware return.so any idea about this?because u know cant do ota update cuz i dont have att sim ....
thanks

That's weird.. I don't have an answer for that unless AT&T decided to remove all their bloatware from that firmware baseband which is highly unlikely lol. Maybe someone else might know.

You can update the firmware by using adb sideload but I don't think it's a good idea really because it's awfully weird that you have no bloatware on it.. And the bootloader is locked. You can also use odin on a Windows pc to flash the firmware while it's in download mode like that but like I said I'd be careful because you can't make a full system image backup without root and twrp so if something goes wrong there is no going back so just be sure you want to do something before doing it..
It's possible the device you have was sideloaded with an early bloat free build of whatever version you are on. If you update you will get the bloat. If you didn't want it, should not have purchased at&t version.

Early build of one of the updates. Some of the updates att posted to the servers weren't pushed out and I remember some were missing all the ATT crap. People were pulling them down manually by figuring out the direct download link.

There's definitely something not right about that phone.. I'm not sure what it is though.. If that was my phone I would just take the risk and reinstall the 'same' firmware that's already on it to see if that makes any difference.. Or just get an alarm app from the play store.

I'm pretty sure this is what was done to remove the bloatware from the phone before you got it because doing it with this windows application leaves virtually no trace of having been done..
debloater tool
All the bloatware was really still there it was just disabled causing it to not be shown on your device.. This is the same thing Package Disabler pro does the difference is, if you remove Package Disabler then all the apps will return but with the debloater tool it doesn't install anything to your device hence why you wouldn't know how it happened.

When they're disabled with that tool they do not show up in app manager either. But like I said, there's obviously something not right with your device.

You can update to Oreo without changing the bootloader version. Oreo has been out for a while and most carriers, except Sprint, upgraded to it while still using b4.
The bootloader is basically a security measure to prevent unauthorized use of the phone like modding or changing roms. B8 isn't rootable, so if that matters to you, don't update. For Sprint users on b5,6,7 this allows the Unlocked firmware to be installed again.
Most people will just see it as another update, but most of the XDA community see it as a gift for updated Sprint phones or avoid like the plague for others because of root and flexibility.

After a bit of experimentation I managed to get it to work. Although you can't just `add sideload` it since the verification will fail. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and dd some partitions manually. Then once it thinks it's the global variant you can `add sideload`. I made a thread about it https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/turn-at-t-into-a-the-global-variant.4393631/
