People on reddit getting the update

If I correctly recall the old days, before you can use xda's firmware is to root your phone first. Many of us don't want to blow up our warranty by doing that, so we'll patiently wait for Samsung's final version instead.

No you don't need to root your phone because doesn't trip Knox

You've waited this long ... what's another day?
