But before heading to install the firmware update, the battery level of the smartphone needs to be at least 80 percent first to avoid any power interruption midway during the upgrade process.

There should always be a backup of all the important data and settings stored on the device. ClockWorkMod and other highly-recommended custom recovery tools can be used.
