Follow these instructions for Firmware Update:
- Always remember that once the process of firmware update is finished then all the data on your phone will erases. It is the user’s responsibility to back up the data so that after the updation process they can restore it back. The data on the phone generally includes messages, contacts, music files etc. At present, we have various methods to back up and restore your data, so go through the below box to find out how to back up and restore your data safely.

Backup and restore all your music files, pictures, and videos on External SD Card.
- Next, you need to make a note of APN & MMS settings. It seems that most of the users are unable to access the internet and MMS services after the firmware update and this is because they are not making a note of these settings. So, to access internet & MMS services you have to make a note of APN & MMS settings. Use the box below to note down these settings.
“Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names”.
- The next point to consider here is your phone’s battery charge. Generally, firmware updation process consumes more of the power from the battery so users need to charge their phone’s battery to more than 90%.
- Next one to go is, users need to have a computer (or Laptop) in order to apply this firmware. The OS on the system should be Windows XP/Vista/7 version. Also note that you should have the ADMIN privileges and your PC (or Laptop) should support minimum of USB 2.0 port.
- Turn OFF all the antivirus solutions and firewalls on the system along with the KIES.
- If your phone is already rooted or running with any custom ROM then bring your phone into the recovery mode. In the recovery mode choose the options like wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Make sure that you have done with all the above instructions. Now you can move further to update your Samsung Galaxy S Plus phones to Gingerbread JPKG1 2.3.3 firmware version.
