[Q] How to flash a stock rom on the Note 8

[delegatevoid]

I have a Note 8 but as I live in China I comes with the Chinese firmware withouth gapps support.
I was able to use a root exploit and noticed someone posted a stock rom in the development forum.
I would like to flash this rom but I am wondering how to get started, as I understand there is no CWM yet
so the only bootloader is the standard e3. Can that one be used to flash the rom?

Thnx

Are you trying to flash back to stock? As in like you got the phone out of the box? Or are you trying just trying to flash a stock ROM? There's a big difference between the two.
Flashing a ROM is done via a custom recovery, not Odin ....

I flashed a different stock rom

Hi
So I wanted to flash a different stock rom as bought mine in China where I live and it does not come with gapps
I ended up using the international stock rom provided in the development forum using the note 8 toolkit also provided
In the development forum. First it installed insecure boot, then the custom recovery system using odin.

The custom recovery did not work properly as the screen was rendered incorrectly upon selecting every other
Item in the recovery menu, but I managed to work my way through it and then install the international stock rom.

Worked like a charm and I now have a fully operational note 8 instead of a crippled chinese version
I cannot post in the development forum, but to everybody there a big thank you
