Just a place for those who are waiting for the update to hang out. Im trying to stay up but if it's not a midnight release date I might be going to bed.

Haha thanks for making one of these. It will *hopefully* cut down in the spam (I don't have high hopes though).

I'm hoping for a midnight EST release, and I'll be up for the next hour to wait and see. Otherwise I'll just go to sleep and download it during the day tomorrow like 90% of the people here lmao

Fido and Rogers said June 11 in their update schedule so there's a very high chance of this happening. AT&T got the update 2 days ago which means that it will spread to Canada too. Let's pray that we truly get it on June 11.

By the way I just want to remind everyone to disable any substratum themes because I'm pretty sure (?) it bricks your phone to keep them enabled during a software update

It doesn't "brick" your phone!! - it ends up causing a System UI Crash - You can either fix it by a Factory Reset or possibly using adb to uninstall the overlays.
A Samsung that is actually really bricked is when you can't even boot into Download Mode! Even then you MIGHT be able to rescue it using J-tag... maybe

It's pretty difficult to ACTUALLY brick a Samsung device... And people who are saying that they "bricked" their Samsung are almost always completely clueless.
