Note:
1# This will only work on the U.S. version of the Note 8, powered by the Snapdragon 835. If you’re using a Note 8 feature Samsung’s own Exynos 9 series CPU — essentially, the model sold outside the U.S. — look elsewhere.
2# You’ll need a PC to unlock your smartphone.
3# The process described below erases whatever’s on your Note 8, so backup anything you need off the phone before you start.
4# Because of the boot.img we are flashing, there’s a good chance the battery will never charge to more than 80 percent.
5# Rooting your phone voids your warranty (though you can unroot your Note 8, restoring the stock firmware).
6# You root phones at your own risk, and it’s something the average smartphone user shouldn’t really mess with.

Follow the instructions below:

2# Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
3# Enable USB Debugging on your Note 8:

# Go back to Settings » select Developer options (below About phone) » scroll down a bit, and tap on the USB debugging toggle to enable it.
4# Connect your Note 8 to the PC, you may see a pop-up asking for your permission to authorize USB debugging, be sure to allow it.
5# Open the folder where you saved fsck.ext4 file in Step 1 above, and then open a command window inside this folder. To do that, “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder and then select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
6# On the command window, issue the following commands:
