hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and to the Android world :)
I bought my SGS like 3 weeks ago, I don't know where it comes from actually, so I don't know when can I have my Kies Update to the 2.3.. (Honestly Can't wait!!)

I have a CSC: JP2 (XEC) .. if anyone knows which country is for XEC and if it is available for the update because I live in Morocco.
I looked for updates and how to do it, and I found that I have to root my phone? I don't exactly understand what is stands for, but my question if it's safe to do that?
And finally, what do you suggest? should I wait for the official update on kies?
Excuse me for I little know about these things.. ;)

Thank you all
 
Well, what are you going to expect from Gingerbread right now that you can't wait for an update? I'm running it for a few weeks now and trust me, Froyo (2.2.1) is more stable and faster than Gingerbread at the moment. As there are no major changes between the two firmwares there is no need to update right now. But if you really can't wait you can download 2.3.3 at www.samfirmware.com and flash it with Odin. By the way: There is a instruction at samfirmware.com how this works as well....
