★ What do you mean by "Safe Upgrade"?

Downloads:
The latest N910VVRU2BOG5 bootloader is incremented; i.e., if you take the OTA or flash the official firmware via Odin, you won't be able to downgrade.
For Retail Edition: This is very important if you want to gain ROOT access when available & keep it over OTAs then.
For Developer Edition: If the bootloader is incremented with any coming OTA, it'll block your unlocked bootloader for good & you'll end up with a Retail Edition.
Check this thread for more details!
Safe upgrade allows you to downgrade to any previous firmware (KK or LP)...
