How to repair Bricked Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 by Flashing Stock Firmware via ODIN
How to repair Bricked Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 by Flashing Stock Firmware via ODIN
This tutorial is for Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 in specific, do not flash the firmware provided here in any other device.
It doesnt matter whether you bricked your phone experimenting with it or installing Custom ROMs, because this tutorial will help you get back to your Stock ROM or flash any firmware for your phone via ODIN Flash Tool.
Please note that flashing your phone with a firmware package can completely delete all user data, so make sure to backup your contacts and other data before continuing with the process.
I will try to explain the process as simple as possible in a step by step manner below, you can also check out the video tutorial that i have made on the same. Before continuing make sure you have the the following things with you:
1. Your Samsung Galaxy Y S5360
2. USB data cable to connect your phone with your computer
3. Internet to download the required files
Watch the video tutorial here
Before starting off make sure your phone is fully charged and switched off
- Download and install Samsung Kies form the link below, it contains the default driver for your device
- Switch off your phone and enter into Download Mode by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER BUTTON
- Now connect your phone to your computer using the USB data cable
- Go to Control Panel > Device Manager and look under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and you should find your phone appear as Samsung Mobile USB Compopsite Device, and if it doesnt then it means that the drivers havent been correctly installed, in such a case you should disconnect the phone try removing all Samsung related software including Kies from your computer and reinstall Kies and check again, if that doesnt work then download the Unofficial Samsung USB Driver from the link below, install it and check again.
- If none of the above methods work for installing the drivers then you should use Windows Update to find and install the drivers (you must be connected to the internet) , here is how to do it - Uninstall all Samsung related software, connect the phone in the Download Mode, go to Device Manager and in the Other Devices list you must find your phone as two unrecognized devices CDC Abstract Control Model and CDC ACM Data, right click on CDC Abstract Control Model and select Update Driver Software > Search automatically for updated driver software, now windows will search for the appropriate driver and install it, once installed your device will appear as Samsung Mobile USB Compopsite Device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and you are good to go.
- Once the drivers are installed and the phone connected in Download Mode, download ODIN and Firmware Package from the links given below
- Extract ODINs zip file and put it in a folder, similarly extract the Firmare Package and put it in another folder. Upon extracting the Firmware Package you should get 3 main files whose names start with CSC, MODEM and PDA
- Now go to ODINs extracted folder and run ODIN, under ID:COM box in ODIN you should see something like 0:[COM#] where # is any number and if the box is blank it means that ODIN cant find your phone and something is wrong
- Leave all the selections to their default unless you know what youre doing
- Click on the PDA button and browse to the file starting with PDA in the extracted Firmware Package and click on Open
- Similarly click on PHONE button and browse to the file starting with MODEM in the extracted Firmware Package and click on Open
- Similarly click on CSC button and browse to the file starting with CSC in the extracted Firmware Package and click on Open
- Now that all the files are selected click on the START button to begin flashing and wait for it to finish
- The process should take a few minutes or less to complete and if there are any errors they will be shown in the message box.
- Once it completes it will show something like this
- Now the phone will reboot on its own, you can close ODIN, disconnect your phone by removing the USB cable and wait for the phone to boot up, the phone should take quite a long time to boot up (less than 10 minutes) so dont panic. The first boot takes such a long time as certain system files are being extracted and created by the newly flashed firmware.
Links for downloading required files:
Samsung Kies (For official USB drivers that comes with it)
Unofficial Samsung USB Driver (Unofficial drivers probably extracted form Kies package, use only if Kies installation doesnt fix driver issues)
ODIN Flash Tool (Software for flashing your phone with firmware packages)
Firmware Package (The one i used in this tutorial)
Link 1 (mediafire)
Link 2 (googledrive)
Other ODIN Flashable Firmware Packages (These packages have been made from official firmware releases and are similar to the one used in this tutorial, download according to your choice of region)
If the firmware you want is not listed in the above link try looking on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-S5360 , once you have downloaded the firmware from here you can use SplitFus2 tool by Doky to convert it to an ODIN flashable package
Download SplitFUS2 tool from here- http://d-h.st/WR9
Full instructions can be found on the original thread located here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611225
All Credits to Doky73 (for the original thread), marcussmith2626 and others (for remaking and re-uploading the packages)

Galaxy Y S360 was the first ever budget Android phone from Samsung launched couple of years ago. As it was an entry level phone, Galaxy Y didnt received any firmware update officially after Android 2.3 Gingerbread. There could be several reasons for not releasing the updates for Samsung which may either include the low specification of this phone or because of its Price because if such low budget phone will run on latest Android, what will happen to their other Flagship phones.

Anyways. There are other ways as well to get newer Android kitkat 4.4 versions on your Galaxy Y S5360. Now, as we know Android 4.4 Kitkat is the latest Android version from Google, we can surely say Samsung is never going to offer it on Galaxy Y. Hence, today i am going to post a guide showing how you can get Android 4.4 Kitkat using a Custom ROM named Cyanogen Mod 11 Using this ROM, you not only get Kitkat User Interface but also many features of this new OS.
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.
