It downloaded everything.  Installed everything, but I got this error
along the way.

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...

I rebooted and now I'm stuck on the Google boot with the little unlock
icon at the bottom of the screen..

I bricked it.  It's official.

I managed to get it into fastboot mode so I need to reflash everything
from scratch again. android 4.2.2/supersu/multirommanager/ubuntu
touch(was stable now devel channel).

What should I not update in order to prevent this from happening again?
 I would have liked to update the system and install a few other things.
i.e. emacs-nox, poppler, document viewer...
How does everyone else update their phone stuff?

Cheers,
