Root Your Galaxy Y S5360 on Android 2.3.5 / 2.3.6


We have put together a detailed step-by-step instructions guide on how to root Galaxy Y on Android 2.3.5. If you are used to installing custom ROMs on your Samsung Galaxy Y, then this should not be any different for you.
Disclaimer: Try this on your own risk. I’m not responsible if you mess up with your Galaxy Y.
Just To Remember:
  • This tutorial is only for Galaxy Y (S5360) and I am not sure if it will work on the other variants of the Galaxy Y on other carriers.
  • My phone has Android 2.3.5 (official update) which was NOT rooted.
  • Make sure you backup all your data in your phone before proceeding.
Complete Step-By-Step Instructions:
Step 1 - Download update.zip for Galaxy Y on your PC, if you haven’t already.
Step 2 - Connect and mount your Galaxy Y USB memory on your computer using the USB cable.
Step 3 - Now copy/paste the update.zip file to your SD card. Make sure the file is in the root (not in any folders).
Step 4 - Then turn off your phone.
Step 5 - Now to get in the recovery mode. Turn on the phone while pressing and holding the volume up, home and power buttons.
Step 6 - You will get an exclamation mark now. Again hold your volume up and power buttons. You should now be in your recovery mode.
Step 7 - Select update from SD card. Now select update.zip file and select it with the Power button. Installation should start now.
Step 8 - After the installation completes, the phone will boot now and it might take about 5 minutes to boot on your first time. So, please wait.
That’s it! Your Galaxy Y is now rooted and should have the Superuser app installed in your phone!
