For those of you who want to unroot your Samsung Galaxy Note 8, maybe you want to go back to 100% stock firmware, update your stock firmware, or ended up in a nasty bootloop, here’s how to unroot your Note 8 with 100% stock firmware.
If you are still on Nougat and upgrading to Oreo, you can also disable OEM unlock and re-root, which I will show you here also.
If you have the international model (SM-N950F/FD) Samsung Galaxy Note 8, you can now grab the S9+ Port beta ROM, which gives you the latest and greatest Android 8.0 Oreo along with (optional) root.

But since this is super beta, the new Galaxy S9+ camera isn’t working yet(you can simply install regular Note 8 camera) and Intelligent scan/headphones DO NOT WORK. If this isn’t an issue for you, you can definitely give this guy a go and let me know what you think!
