I have the same question. I don't have the shield installed yet, but have been dismissing the popup in the past. Any updates. Right now, I am in airplane mode, so can't make any calls.

I was going to install the app but I just found it a few days ago and between over time at work and sleep I just haven't had the time. Is there any way I can fix my note 7? My career is verizon.
Really you got hit last night with the Verizon update again I thought too it was coming on the 5th? where do you live mate I am in the US but on the east coast and I don't think the update came out last night. Cuz I am too on Verizon! unless the shield! WORKED LIKE A CHARM! AND I DID NOT NOTICE HAHAHAHAHA! POWER TO THE SHIELD! Well I will find out tonight at mid night my time if this is true. I heard of someone else who get brick on the fb page and she was working with one of the N7 team members on figuring how to correct this issue! I am sure if you wait a few days someone else would run into this issue... Sorry for your lost mate I hope you get your best phone ever fix!

May be it was a time zone thing. Did you check to see if your phone was set to a different zone. If not, does anyone know here if all the updates when toff at the same time or were they staggered?

Right now it's recommended you install the shield. Without it, you're vulnerable to the kill update

You can only defer a certain amount if time before it forces the install. I recommend flashing the phone to get rid of that update

It's almost like those EV cars of Chev's that they crushed. They're soooooo much better than the Edge

the update will download automatically; then will ask you to install it (verizon; don't know about other carriers). Once you install it, you can NOT go backwards...and since this is a kill update, you would be finished. If you haven't disabled the update files, or used shield ...the download WILL happen if it hasn't already! If it hasn't downloaded, then save yourself a lot of trouble and use shield (I haven't used it because I blocked the files some time ago with a package disabler and I know for sure that i'm good, so I don't want to tinker) to block the download.

Maybe create a new post in this forum specifically so the mods can see it a little faster?
They've been pretty busy....
I'm not much help, but maybe that will get you going in the right direction.
Good Luck!
