That's the absolute best advice that can ever be offered to anyone updating their unit imo. Add to that to ALWAYS do a files backup, a Non Volatile backup (most importantly), and then a hard reset (or better still clear NV) both before and after updating firmware and you should never be left with a bricked or strangely acting device. 'Prevention is better than cure' .... but thank goodness for Cure3 from Kunix.
