OTA Update ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I'm relatively new to the world of ROM's and have over the pas few days successfully installed a GPE 5.1 ROM onto my i9505 (s4). All is running great however this morning I received a notification for an update from LMY470.S008.151101 to LMY470.S008.151202.
Question is this safe to do or should I stear clear of these updates as it might Brick my Phone ?
Sorry for the Noob question but thought I would check before doing anything.

[Q] software update after rooting and installing a rom

Hi,
I just rooted my Galaxy S3, & installing the Omega 6.0 Rom.
In my notification list there is a software update pending.
Can I update the software or it might cause problems with the rom?

Btw, I'm new to Andoid and rooting. Sorry if it was already answered...

TFP Unroot and Upgrade

Hi guys,
Have searched the forums but still unable to get a definitive answer, I brought my prime a few months ago and rooted it but left it on stock ROM in anticipation of JB update. This weekend i received the JB Update, used Voodoo to hide my root and started the install which promptly failed(Android with open tummy and Red Triangle). Therefore i have but questions three:
1. I am guessing this failure was caused by having a rooted device, is there a different software like Voodoo that will allow update to be installed?
2. How do i Unroot my device to the point when i can install the Update?
3. Once the update is installed is it possible to re-root(alot of my apps require root to function)? I know certain updates in the past have stopped users from rooting, is this the case with the JB Update?
I once again bow to your superior knowledge guys and thanks in advance.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus (GT-9105P)

Hello, guys. I need some help, if you can.
First question is if i need to root my device before installing a 4.2.2 rom. Currently i have 4.1.2 JB, but it's from factory and i haven't got the update from official soft. I don't care why i haven't, but i want it to be done.
I've read thousands of forums about rooting, installing roms and etc, but i still have some questions.
Second one is: If i finally manage to do that update to 4.2.2, what rom should i go to from there on? Stay at 4.2.2 or go further? I need a stable one, i'm not really a andoid geek, but sounds fun to get into it.
Which rom should i trust to install? First of all, i know that if i want to install a newer one, i still need to go from a 4.2.2 so i'm stuck at him for now.
And the most important: Can you provide me a link to instructions? I haven't ever done a root or installed a rom, so i'm virgin in this kind of stuff.
Best regards, Dezaxat.
Up, please ?

If you s-off you can RUU back to Stock
if not flash my Guru reset >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274
So let's say I s-off and RUU back to stock. Will I then receive updates? at least 4.4 kit kat? Or will I again be at&t bound?
Sorry if it's a stupid question. I'm just a regular cell phone user and I did all o these things on my own. Basically I just want my phone to be free from at&t and to receive or download and install official software/updates.
Thanks
