 Galaxy Y stopped getting official updates a much long time ago from Samsung. That’s why the Galaxy Y users turned towards the third party custom ROMs to feel the newly launched android versions. But after Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, even the android developers stopped providing further custom ROMs for this device which created a much disappointment amongst the users. And this time finally with great efforts the developers have succeeded in developing the latest KitKat flavored Android 4.4 ROM for Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360. This is a great news for the Y users who waited so long for this one. Without wasting a single minute just proceed further for the actual Android 4.4 KitKat ROM installation process.

Pre requisites 

** It is mandatory to check that your device has a proper battery backup before performing any kind of flashing process. Lack of battery may increase the risk of interruption in the process thus leading to further problems. So I highly recommend to charge the battery of your phone at least up to 70%.

** Backup your contacts, messages, apn settings, memos and call logs etc before proceeding further. For doing that connect your phone to PC, enable USB debugging mode and transfer all the content on your PC for safety. All this is essential as in the last step of this flashing process you need to wipe all your data and cache from the phones internal memory.

** Make sure that your Galaxy Y is rooted. Also ensure that you have installed a recovery like Clockworkmod (CWM) or TWRP before proceeding further.

Procedure to update Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 to Android 4.4 KitKat ROM:

1 ** After successfully downloading both the package files given above, connect your phone to PC using USB cable, enable USB debugging mode and transfer both of them (without extracting) on your phones external SD card. Do not place them in deep directories.

 2 ** Disconnect your phone from PC and switch it off completely.

 3** Enter into recovery mode now. For Galaxy Y recovery mode can be entered by pressing and holding ‘Volume Up + Home Button (middle button) + Power Button’ simultaneously until the recovery mode appears. You’ll need to use Volume Up and Down keys for navigation and Home button for selection as touch won’t work in recovery.

4 ** Now you need to take a android backup. Actually android backup is the backup of your entire operating system & is much essential in case if this installation fails or some problem occurs, then you can easily restore your saved previous ROM from the CWM recovery. For taking a proper android backup, navigate to the ‘backup & restore’ option on the recovery mode itself and on the next screen select ‘backup’ option. This will make a complete android backup of your current ROM. Refer the screenshot given below for taking a proper android backup.
