I have the AT&T 4G LTE Version Note 8 that I bought in August. It had an available update so I updated. Then I tried using framework and a toolkit to root and was unable to do so. I would like to ask anyone if there is a way to root my device is currently running 4.1.2. Thnx!

You can root your device go to the development forums for your note 8.0 and download a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. You need to flash it with Odin. I would give you the links, but I'm new here so I can't give links. After you flash your recovery find superuser.zip somewhere online and flash it with your bootloader.
Again I would give you the links but I can't post any so just Google them.

Search is your friend, use it. The AT&T GN8 has been rooted but we still don't have a method of unlocking the bootloader, which means that custom ROMs and recoveries are not possible now.

Since SGH-I467 has a locked bootloader, rooting it is a challenge. Originally I was not going to do it knowing the difficulties, but when a file explorer complained it couldn't write to the external SD card without root, I know I must root it.
Please be aware SGH-I467M (note the ending M) is a different animal. The Canadian version's bootloader is UNLOCKED, and thus rooting it is a breeze!
With my SGH-I467 I tried many different methods. Finally I was able to root it using Kingo Root (not Kingroot). Kingo Root is actually a one click rooting method. Just proceed with the instruction by the program.
