Your a legend william. Does doing a firmware upgrade wipe the data from the handset?

Your Welcome!

Yes it does as you need to check the "Re-Partition" option in Odin3

You do not need to root the phone first.
And yes, the SGS is a Sim unlocked phone from optus. The carriers usually lock the phones if they want them locked, not the manufacturers.

Read up on my Flashing guide before attempting anything please!

Excellent!
Make sure you use the .pit file I have supplied as the one that is on the Flashing guide does not work!

By the way,
What are you using for backups?
