[Samsung Galaxy Y S5360] The Upgrade, Rooting and Common Fixes Thread - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General

There are currently 2 major problems that the users are facing with Samsung Galaxy Y S5360.
1) Firmware Upgrade with KIES
2) SD Removed Unexpectedly
1)To Upgrade your Firmware with KIES successfully in One-Go:
Backup your phone, Remove your SD-Card and then start the upgrade process. SD card is not necessary to upgrade the phone and hence, it will not interfere with the KIES upgrade process since, i've experienced many times that when your Phone is in "MAss storage mode" when connected to KIES, the upgrade fails for unknown reasons.
I've tried this and it worked like a charm. Though, your internet connectivity should be stable to download around 123 MB of data without interruption.
2) To fix the SD Card problem
Backup all your data to your PC and format your SD Card with "Fat32" format from your PC.
Do the format before your do the upgrade so that your phone gets a fresh Fat32 formatted card after the firmware upgrade.
Both of this will fix most of the problems with your Samsung Galaxy S5360 problems.
PS : I don't see any section for this phone and that's why i'm making one.

Thank you for this. I am in China and just thought it was my phone that got the SDCard error. But, I have already updated firmware - so can I just reformat SD Card anyway?

Yep. Try it. Not sure if it works that way.

have anyone tried this?Clockworkmod recovery working ok?

I want to say that the SD moynt problem still exists even after updated to the latest rom and formatted the 2GB SD with FAT32 under PC W7 x64 system..But i see that even the mobile removes the SD, then it automatically finds it and applications are there, but overall this whole process makes the mobile struggle...
I hope that roms will come and fix issue and remove some ram as well

Yeah it somewhat works, can not mount, gets overwritten everytime.. so the hardware buttons don't work.
somewhat useless for recoveries as your phone needs to be working properly to do so.. Galaxy 5's port works too btw(similar way)..

what is mount?

It can load Clockworkmod from the ROM manager under Android, there is such option there, it reboots and after loads it.

System Restore / Fix booting loop

Sprint Logo repeating and repeating on you? Mine was too, here is a set of instructions that even a n00b like myself can follow to fix that. We'll simply be restoring the system software/ROM on your phone. There are other instructions listed, but don't include step-by-step instructions.
Keep in mind that this requires bubby's recovery, which is the ACS version. You can not mount USB on other recoveries (yet).
Boot into CWM
(Hold down Power and Up arrow until it appears)
Connect your phone to your computer with the data cable
Go to mounts and storage
Then mount sd card
Then do mount usb storage (second to last option)
and download the files linked inside this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272186
unzip it into a folder in the following location on the root of the phone's sd card:
/clockworkmod/backup/(any folder name)
so it would look like clockworkmod/backup/folder/ (files)
This is IMPORTANT, it must be in clockwordmod, then backup, then ANY folder name. If you leave the files in just "backup" it will give an error no files found.
Then do a wipe your data/factory reset
Then do a wipe cache
Then go to the backup and restore menu
and then the restore, will be whatever you named the folder that you unzipped the files to.
Let it finish, choose reboot and you should be good to go!
If you want to avoid losing your data in the future, follow these steps to make a full system backup as often as you'd like:
go back into cwm, goto the backup and restore menu again
then press backup
You can keep multiple backups
Again, I take no credit for this, just passing along the information. Hope this saves someone else's day!
All the credit goes to kse91holydiver, he helped me, now I'm trying to pass along the instructions to others who may be in the same spot.
Double post ? maybe
Also, you have to be on bubby's recovery, which is the ACS version. You can not mount USB on other recoveries yet.

Going to repost I resolve my own issue, there are two things I did to finally get my pc to see my phone so I'm not sure which resolved, First which is what I think solved it was be sure you don't have a drive like and dvd-rom drive or flash drive with a assigned letter of E: or F: if you do Google how to change it. And the second thing I did was reflash with zedomaxV3 and let it restart to the boot animation automatically then I unplugged and pulled battery and put battery back in and plugged usb back in and boot to animation again, then restart and mount in clockwork mod.
I hope this helps anyone else.
I made a nandroid backup in cmw v5, installed AE mod rom, didnt like it, booted, and I got cwm v4? ...and my restore/backup file no longer exists.
I cannot unzip the files to the phones folder: /clockworkmod/backup/folder/ (files) because I dont have a folder understand name at all.
This is my first time rooting, Iam still stuck with a looping SPrint loop boot screen.
Any suggestions?

Never mind, got it. : )
This saved my phone! I love you all!
OMG! Thank you so much! I had bricked my phone and this worked when other methods did not! It only took me 16 hours to research and try different methods. You are awesome! Back to factory so now I can hopefully find a good root and rom.

[Q] Can't flash a ROM from TWRP

Hello there,
I was trying to install CM10 on my A100 but I messed it up.
I got everything right till TWRP installation, then I accidentally delete everything on my device, CM10 rom included. Now the only thing accessible is TWRP.
I understand from other posts of the forum that it should be still possible to flash a ROM choosing Mount from the menu, but I can't work out how.
I click on the mount tab, and I connect it to my computer via USB. My linux system recognises the tablet as a multimedia player, but it does not allow me to copy files on it. Changing the status of mounting System, Data and Cache does not change the behaviour. The option mount SD card is not selectable.
I have got TWRP 2.2.0, and my A100 does not have external SD.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Do you have a microsd? Or twrp just won't see it. That would probably be the easiest option, load a ROM on the micro SD.
Did you make a backup first thing?
If your tab is in recovery, you should be able to use adb and push a ROM to the internal memory, but it is not recommended to flash from it. That's why I mentioned the microsd first.

Unfortunately not, no microSD slot. I do not even have a backup; in my clumsiness while I was following the procedure I skipped an entire paragraph and I jumped to the wiping section.
I will try to use ADB, I saw that there are few threads covering the procedure. Thanks for the tip, I'll be back with the results
Ok, all went well.
I followed the instructions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
with two minor corrections:
1 - as I did not have the /sdcard directory, I used the /data directory
2 - there was no need to add the ROM file name again after /data
thanks for help

Consider yourself lucky, that ROM has nothing to do with this device and would likely have killed it. Only use ROMs from the device forum of the device you're flashing. I mean go to the development section of the a100 and get a ROM there, not some random device ROM with a great name.

[Q] "No SD Card" error in Chrome

I updated my Vzw GNex to the vzw 4.2.2 ota this afternoon. Everything works fine except when I try to download something from chrome I get a message saying "No SD card" when I click a download link. I can access the sd card just fine with rootexplorer and the stock browser downloads things just fine. I tried clearing cache and data for chrome and even uninstalled and reinstalled it. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to fix it?

Try making a copy of your sdcard and factory resetting, then copy all the files over using MTP, not ADB.
I get that if i copy files over using ADB.

Mach - Thank you for your response. I have to ask though, is there any other way?
Per your recommendation I began to copy my sdcard but quickly realized that given the amount of data on my phone this would be painful using standard methods. Windows [7] was reporting no progress and seemed as if it was going to take forever to copy the contents and applications like RichCopy and TeraCopy do not see MTP devices
In the end, I simply used 'adb pull' to copy the contents. So, while it's good that I have a copy, I'm not sure how I plan to restore the copy after a factory reset without using 'adb push', which you said sometimes causes the issue. I always thought that using 'adb' was considered more reliable than the MTP interface.
Recommendations?
Thank you.

Hi, sorry it took a long time to reply, I just saw it. Xprivacy is an Xposed mod to manage the permissions for each app. If you haven't installed it then it is not causing you any problems!
In regards to my aforementioned issue.
"Cannot download due to SD card missing" Error.
Simply open a terminal emulator and type in the following.
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
Reboot and it should work thereafter.

Check your SD card on another device. The card could have gone bad (can't write, occasional problems reading, can't format). I've had it happen to me twice.
If system files are on the SD card, read-only can cause problems. Last time I had that happen, I believe I ended up reflashing a clean stock ROM and starting over
Recommend saving app data (not the apps as one of them could be the problem) before nuking your flash though.

The point is Katkat v4.4.x dont allow apps to write or install in sdcard, you just change The permissions to write.
In your case , install by a clean setup The Stockrom, root it, change The Permission to write on sdcard at Platform.xml with a root Explorer.

Just root then apply the sd card fix. Job done.

It says that the system partition on stockhtc kernel is protected and hence the method will not work
You likely need S-OFF in that case?

Sorry for the noob question, but could you explain that? With the stock File manager I can copy/move files to the external memory card.

try a custom kernel; stock kernel usually has /system write protection enabled so it won't allow changes to stick to the system partition
EDIT: or change the file while booted into custom recovery (ie pull the file, edit it, push it back, make sure permissions are correct)

IF (yes big if) i remember correctly, only system apps have [full] access to the sdcard, all user apps only have access to their respective directories.
