Using Kingroot 4.81 on Lollipop was able to root my Galaxy Alpha. If anyone is willing to further develop with this, here it is.
Congrats and thank you for letting us know! I gave up on At&T version phones specifically after the S5 Mini was unable to get root, so I got the Alpha SM-G850M for myself to use on Cricket (At&t) and now a SM-G850W for my friend to also use on Cricket. Want to try the SM-G850F and compare them all. The SM-G850A is the most common found on ebay and dropping in price. Until there is a good ROM for the SM-G850A I'll stick with the Intl versions.
I did it too on KK

Unfortunately, I was unable to do the same. If someone could figure this out, I'd be greatly appreciative. Thanks!
What am I missing?

Did you try Kingo Root? I just got an S4 zoom last week and I rooted it fine with Kingo Root. I just had to let it run for a few minutes and allow it to restart quite a few times until it asked me to accept to root. I used Kingo Root on an S4 I previously owned and it also worked fine. I even un-rooted a few times and re-rooted and it worked fine on the S4 normal =).
i dont trust this root method.
some say its a virus.

Some old news about it did say it was a virus or that it contained some Chinese spy software (vRoot or something) but I believe they removed it or never had it, I forget which one. I just know that I never had a problem with it so far.
Think i used safe root & disable knox

I see thanks I have the AT&T SM-C105A and am trying to find a way to root
I'd be careful with the C105A AT&T version. Nobody outside of AT&T has the firmware and you cannot flash any other C105A firmware to it. On top of that is the stupid AT&T check that essentially soft bricks the phone if the check fails.

just use kingoroot and everything will be done. There is no virus in the software. they do not store your info. They just root your phone and away you go. get it from http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm

actually you can flash the mexico Telcel firmware found at Sammobile as the mexico version is still the same model and still uses AT&T LTE service
Do some more research you will find it
Edit:
Here is the Link:
C105AUBUAND1 Sammobile link Here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28254 Know that Sammobile is having problems with their servers so download will be slow.
My guess would be that only the ASPN's may be different. So right dow your ASPN's from your existing firmware then if different change them back after flash.
That is the same firmware I tried to undo the soft brick (ATT unauthorized software lock), it would not flash.
Today I got my Galaxy Alpha G850F with Build NHB from Vodafone Germany. I tried towelroot and framaroot, but no success.

is your bootloader locked?
i want to buy China Mobile version(G8508S) here in Shanghai and i am afraid the bootloader will be locked and this method above won't work.
mine is g850f, don't really know if I have locked or unlocked bootloader.
For information obviously it tripped the knox warranty void, but I don't care

I would like to know if this works on the AT&T version as well.
Cool that's it's rooted already, but there's not a lot of support for the phone, no ROMs, etc.

Ditto for me... on the fence with this one. It has the perfect weight and size, I just don't want it to be an oddball version of a phone that no devs wind up supporting. I've been waiting and waiting for the Nexus 6/X but either way based on the two rumors it seems like it is going up in size which is the opposite direction I'm willing to go.
Guys wait a little, the phone was just released!

I'm interested in this device (to replace a Galaxy Note 3 Neo), however I need it fully HMP-enabled. Is it so? For app support, you can try 3C CPU Manager or 3C Toolbox, it should support your CPU 8 cores already, and show if it's HMP enabled.

I have the att version but unsure if i want to root it yet as i will probably give it to my mother after im done testing
I have the G850F version, and have succesfully rooted using chainfire. But I can't find any recovery (CWM/TWRP) yet...

Here's my original question.

"Anyone have a link to the KitKat 4.4 firmware for the Note 4 Edge T-Mobile?"
I am asking because I don't want to wait forever on Samsung site or the slow file sharing sites like gator.
Lol I'm surprised you didn't see the keywords.

Wow... so almost 4 years later I revisit this thread...
I took out my preserved Note Edge (TM) still on KK 4.4 from the vault and wanted to flash a good ROM on it, but they are all on LP or MM base. I really didn't like LP at all ... JB was awesome, KK is great, LP a total bust, then MM turned out to be a polished version of KK ...
I"m wanting to stay and preserve KK 4.4, rather the U1 BL and not get stuck going past U1 ...
It looks like I can only roll up to BOG2 (5.0.1) to be able to roll back to KK (baseband and all) as going over BOG2 will get it stuck on U2 ...
See the firmwares here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-edge/SM-N915T/TMB/
I'm a big fan of TEKHD ROM's and am glad to see that he has one built on the 5.0.1 base, which on BOD7 (U1) ... that looks like my only choice to stay within U1 eh?

Anyone else out there still rocking their Note Edge? It's a classic for sure....
Hello. I have galaxy note edge n915f. I can't downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. My firmware build number is MMB29M.N915FXXS1DRI2 and i don't know what to do. Please help me to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. Thanks.
Have the bootloader for the Mega been broken yet?
Is there any hope for this phone???
I'd like to tell you yes but I have the 1st galaxy mega from at&t 4.4.2 kk version and far as I know it never even got an OTA update, I have kept up with this phone with all the apps &questions and answers but to no avail I haven't found anything concrete that works properly.
