Thing to make sure of before updating

When the backing up is completed, remove the memory card and the SIM card from your phone and keep them safely.
• Make sure that you have the USB cable of your Vodafone Galaxy S GT I9000 with you as you will need it.
• You have to make sure that your phone doesn’t turn of in the middle of the procedure so you keep the battery fully charged.
• The computer, which you will use for the Gingerbread BUJVB 2.3.3 update, should have the latest version of Windows. Turn off security programs of the PS. Make sure that the USB driver is fully updated. Download KIES and install it in your PC for automatic installation of drivers.
