The latest update (which from feedback from other users is quite stable and fast) is CM 7.2.0 RC3.
You can get it from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=RC&device=buzz
When updating you don't need to wipe data, but if anything is "funky" you'll have to wipe it.

Yep, rc3 is your best choice.
However if you have made any system changes i.e removed any system apps you will lose your system changes etc etc.
If your using custom mtds remember to flash the boot file after rom.
"unfortunately everybody dies,only a few of us actually live"
what shoud i do after downloading the zib file
i copy the file to my sd card and open recoverymod what to do next and how to take a back up of current rom
To backup your ROM:
IN CWM Recovery select Backup& Restore
Select Backup
Go for a cup of coffee as this will take a good 5-10 minutes.
Update:
In CWM Recovery select install zip from SD card.
Select Choose zip from SD card
Find the zip file you put on earlier and select it
Select yes
Wait 4-5 miunutes
You're done, and now just reboot the phone.

Tired of searching for a complete Guide to Flash JellyBlastv3 on your GT-S5360?
Well, I have something for you::::
Read On....
Warning: The Below Steps are only for Samsung Galaxy Y, GT-S5360
Performing any of the steps shall Void the Warranty of Your Device.
I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your Device or emotional loss or anything.
You are solely responsible for you actions.
The Following procedure has been tested by me and it is working correctly.
Warnings and Important Tips:
1. The process may and will erase all your data present on the device. Better backup your contacts, Messages, Calendar entries, Notes Etc. You may use Super Backup, Go Backup or SMS Backup & Restore. There are several other apps in the Market. I would recommend to backup using multiple apps.
2. A Computer should be within reach with internet. Also have a USB Cable. Wi-Fi is recommended.
3. Make sure the system is running Stock ROM and Stock Kernel.
4. Also make sure you are running latest version of android available. On Galaxy Y, it is 2.3.6
5. If not, you can update, by going into settings>about phone>software update. Sign in with Samsung Account. 6. Before proceeding further, make sure that the phone is fully charged (Recommended 70% at least). High Chances of damage are there if the device runs out of juice during flashing.
7. Proceed with caution. Avoid confusion. Follow the steps! Never Jump to next step before completing first!
8. Within Procedures if you think the battery is not enough (>70%), you can charge it before proceeding to next procedure. The Phone can’t be charged within an ongoing procedure.
9. Enable the USB Debugging option. Go to Settings>Development>USB Debugging. Check it every time.
10. It took me considerable time to type the detailed steps to make it easy for even a beginner. Be Generous.
DO NOT FORGET TO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON! :laugh:
I. Root
Rooting is a process by which you can get root access or administrator privileges to your Android phone and can flash tweaks, custom ROMs, custom kernels, install additional applications which requires root, use firewall etc.
Root will void your phone’s warranty but it doesn’t matter you can get it back! (Google unroot)
1. Download the the update.zip file to your SD Card (not in any folder). I have attached it with the post.
2. Switch off your phone & boot into recovery mode.
3. Press Vol Up + Power Key + Home button together at the same time to boot in recovery mode.
4. Touch screen is disabled here.
5. Use volume keys for scrolling & home button for selection.
6. Select Apply update from SD card.
7. Select update.zip (which you have downloaded).
8. When it shows Installed from SD Card complete written.
9. Select reboot system now.
10. Your phone will restart & first boot may take 5 minutes. (Mine took a few seconds!)
11. Check for an application Superuser and open it.
12. Go to Menu > Preferences > SU Binaries> Update binaries.
13. SU Binaries will update. (You need active data connection or Wi-Fi)
14. When it get updated, restart your phone.
You’re done! Your phone is now rooted.
Warning: Do not delete Superuser or you will lose your root!
II. Flash ClockWorkMod
ClockWorkMod is a Custom Recovery which lets you Flash Custom ROM, Kernels etc.
Note: This is temporary. Every time you need CWM, you have to flash it again. (For your convinience, keep it in the SD)
Instructions:
1. Enable USB Debugging by going to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging.
2. Download the CWM Recovery.zip file and Place that file on the root directory of your SD card. (Attached)
3. Switch off your phone .Then boot into recovery mode, (hold Volume up button + Home button + Power button).
6. Select "apply update from SD card ", find the zip file you copied to your SD card earlier.
Once done, it will give you the option to reboot your phone, reboot and you're done!
You got CWM installed, you can now flash custom ROMs.
III. Backup Stock ROM
In case, if anything happens to your device while flashing Custom ROM, backup of Stock ROM serves as a contingency plan. The Backup can be used to recover damaged device via Odin. (Now don’t ask me what’s Odin)
It can also be used to return to the Original State if ever you wish to revert back.
1. Boot into CWM by Flashing CWM again.
2. Go to Backup/Restore
3. Select Backup Current ROM. It will take a while and then it’s Done! The size of the Backup File depends upon the no. of apps installed. Generally should be around 200-400 MB.
IV. Flash Custom ROM (JellyBlastv3 by Avijit Ghosh)
DOWNLOADS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679563
INSTALLATION GUIDE:
1. Make sure that you're on Stock kernel. Stock = Factory version.
2. Remove a2sd or data2sd and format your 2nd partition if you have it.
3. Place the above file to your SD Card (NOT IN ANY FOLDER!!!)
4. Switch off your phone.
5. Flash Clockwork mode.
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Wipe cache partition.
8. Go to Advanced options and Wipe Dalvik cache.
9. Go to mounts and storage->select mount/system and mount/data.

11. Choose JELLYBLAST V3.signed.zip and choose yes.
12. Keep your fingers crossed and pray.
It will be installed. Now reboot your phone. First boot will take time. Be patient.
V. Install OTA
Over The Air Updates are the updates that are released after the ROM to fix bugs and problems or to make minor changes.
Important: Apply the OTA Updates in serial-wise manner to avoid bricking.
1. Download OTA 1, OTA 2, OTA 3, OTA 4.1 and OTA 5 and place them in your SD Card.
2. Boot into CWM, Select “Install .zip from SD ” and select OTA 1. After Completion, Device will Reboot.
3. Repeat Similar Steps OTA 2, 3,4, and 5.

5. You can check for updates in OTA updater.
VI. Partitioning SD Card
On SGY GT-S5360, the Internal Memory is too low (190 MB). Every time you try to update the apps or try to Install new apps, you get the annoying message saying “ Internal Memory Full, delete some apps”. This is where Link2sd comes to the rescue!
There are also Similar apps available on the Market, but here we will be using Link2SD.
There are several ways to partition SD card, but here we will be using CWM.
Note: You need a rooted device, well doesn’t matter we have already rooted.
Note: This method will erase all your data on SD, so better backup it
1. Boot into CWM recovery.
2. Select Advanced options.
3. Select Partition SD Card.
4. Choose the partition size. (1024 recommended)
5. Choose the Swap size. (0 M)
6. Select “Yes”. It will take a while and then you are done! Reboot your phone.
7. Open Link2SD (or Download it from the Market). A pop-up will appear, choose ext3 (ext4 is fastest but ext3 is most compatible). Then Reboot.
8. Open Link2SD, Go to settings , then tick Auto Link.
9. Below in Auto Link settings click on all the three- Link App file, Link Dalvik Cache, Link library files.
10. Also set the Default location to external.
11. You are done. You can also link some of the existing user apps to the partition.
Now all your user applications will be linked to the SD Card, saving your precious internal memory space
Also Don’t forget to Grant Link2SD superuser permissions.
YOU ARE DONE! RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & ENJOY!!
NOW DON’T BE SELFISH! PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON!!!
The ROM has been made available by Dev Avijit Ghosh. Do not forget to thank the developer for his effort.

You have forgotten the most important step in flashing any zip file in cwm
Go into mounts and storage and mount system and data before you choose a zip from sd card
Also the links to jb v3 have been removed due to rule brakes - I suggest you base your guide on another rom

Mount system allows cwm to write to the system folder of your phone
Some versions of cwm when cwm is flashed have system already mounted which is probably why you got away with it
If system is not mounted the zip will still appear to of flashed but nothing will of changed

the thing is in 'permanent' cwm kernels(like savie) /system won't be auto mounted therefore you'll have to mount it manually for successfull flash as cwm can't write onto an un mounted partition . The problem doesn't seem to exist with temporary cwms.
CWM Rom Manager
Hey I would just like to know! I used this then after some reading I would like to install the rom manager from Play Store. I tried it but it seems that my Galaxy Y is not supported then it asked me if I already installed one. Is it ok to also use rom manager with this method?
I already change my ROM feom stocm to cm7, then i decide to partition my memory
But sadly after i did the partition steps you provided here, i lost 2gb from my sd and i check the link2SD storage info and found 2nd partition not mount. I click cleanup 2nd partirion too but i receive error message /data/sdext2 mount not found. I tried to mount it in CWM but nothing happens, what should i do? My internal is already full now

Somebody didn't mount system before flashing a zip in cwm did they
Failing to mount system = nothing will change
I have never flashed a ROM before, but there's a first time for everything and I'm about to take the plunge.
What I have now:
-a rooted V500
-TWRP 2.6.3.2
-a 32 gig sd card with a back-up on it made with TWRP
-Mahdi and Gapps are on the sd card.
What I want:
-flash Mahdi, try it out a bit, be able to go back to current stock with all my settings.
Questions:
1.After flashing Mahdi, if want to go back to the backed-up stock, will everything be again exactly like it is now, every single setting?
2. Can I do the same once I have Mahdi; that is customize it , make another back-up with TWRP and go back to Mahdi again whenever I want, keeping every setting?
3. So basically Q1+Q2 together; can I just use the back-ups to go back and forth between different ROM's keeping all the settings?
4. Is it possible to keep apps and/or app settings going from one ROM to another, or should I just install everything new and manually apply all settings?
5. In the Mahdi installation instructions it says:
" Copy GApps and ROM ZIP to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash Mahdi-Rom zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot"
Should I really flash mahdi+gapps and then do a wipe?
Shouldn't it be the other way around; first do a wipe and then flash?
6. in TWRP, how do I actually flash? Do I use the "install" button for that?
Too late for answers, I took the plunge.
Hi,
The story (if you care)
I updated successfully the CM13 Rom (actually just wanted to update CM12, but what ever)
I found myself in a situation where i have CM13 but no gapps. So i changed CWM to TWRP to flash open Gapps aroma.
It worked but i found the system unstable so i decided to flash CM12.1 back and appropriate Gapps back.
But every trial I did there was a conflict with gapps etc etc. It worked, but Rom was always unstable.
During the flashings etc, I noticed that "factory reset" acutally left many files and apps in the phone. I figure "i juste do like on any PC, I completely Wipe the Data, and install clean OS".
So I wen't to TWRP and decided to wipe everything I could except microSD Card (wipe > advanced > checked all boxes : dalvik, system, cache, preload, data, internal storage ). The SD card had latest CM12.1 release and gapps aroma for 5.1, ready to flash
I found myself in a situation where neither TWRP nor CWM would flash a .zip file : and TWRP showing
Code:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdcard'
After multiple TWRP / CWM flash and reflash and trying to press any button suggesting that it would fix something, I managed to remove the
Code:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdcard'
message on TWRP.
Though TWRP would still not flash .ZIP files, so I tried to flash the CyanogenMod recovery .img into the boot partition and from there I was able to install the ROM (.zip)
The actual situation :
So now I have a CM 12.1 running without GAPPS only able to flash .ZIP files. (Cyanogen recovery is gone now because installed the ROM over it).
So I wish there was a post/walkthrough that would explain how to install/reinstall a clean recovery, maybe even a clean ROM, clean kernel (not that I know what it is). This walkthough wouldn't expect you to have a working recovery nor a ROM installed.

Hi rsepierre,
I've got a few questions.
First of all, am I correct if I say that you're able to boot Android and use your phone normally (without GApps)?
Secondly, are you still unable to boot into recovery and use it?
If that's the case, I think you should try flashing a new CWM/TWRP recovery through Odin again.
Don't forget to boot into recovery immediately after it's flashed!
You might want to untick the option of rebooting automatically ("Auto reboot" or something similar) in Odin. In that way you can reboot into recovery manually.
If that's all done and you're in recovery, I'd use adb sideload (or an SD card) to flash the Open GApps zip.

Dual Boot Patcher - Dual boot any ROMs on your Galaxy E5
Huge thanks to @chenxiaolong for his wonderful app, bringing this app
Now let's get started!
This app patches...
Custom kernels for dual boot support
ROMs so that they can be installed as secondary
Google Apps packages for AOSP-based ROMs
SuperSU so that it can be used in the secondary ROM
NOTE: If you want to dualboot a TouchWiz ROM, I highly recommend installing TW as the primary ROM. Otherwise, any mods will need to be patched before flashing.
How to use the patcher
Android
Download the patcher apk and run it. Tap "Patch Zip File" from the navigation drawer and choose the file you want to patch.
Windows (GUI)
Double click DualBootPatcher.exe and choose the file you want to patch.
--------
After patching the zip file, a new file, like some_rom_dual.zip file will be created. For example, patching ktoonsez's
cm13-e53g.zip
would create a new
cm13-e53g_dual.zip
Instructions for dual booting
Before doing anything, download the Dual Boot Patcher app and the DualBootUtilities.zip from the download section below.
The patcher offers several locations for installing ROMs:
Primary: This is normally used for installing a zip to the primary ROM. It is not required, but is strongly recommended because it has code to prevent the zip from inadvertently affecting other ROMs.
Dual: Dual/Secondary is the first multiboot installation location. It installs to the system partition. This is a good spot for installing a second ROM because it doesn't take any space away from the internal storage.
Multi-slots: There are 3 multislots: multi-slot-1, multi-slot-2, multi-slot-3. These install to the cache partition. This is specifically for devices, like the Galaxy S4, that have a massive cache partition.
Data-slots: There can be an unlimited number of data slots. These install to the data partition and eat up space on the internal storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny. These slots are named "data-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
Extsd-slots: There can be an unlimited number of extsd slots. These install to the external SD card, which is useful as it keeps the ROMs off of the internal storage. Note that the ROM's data files are still stored on the data partition.
With that said, let's get to the "how to"!
First, boot into your primary ROM and install the Dual Boot Patcher app
Open the app and go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer. It will ask if you want to set the kernel. Make sure that you do.
Go to "Patch zip file" in the navigation drawer and patch the ROM or zip you want to install. You can select one of the installation locations described above.
There are two ways of flashing the patched zip file. You can either flash it normally from recovery or flash it using the in-app flashing feature. Both methods are explained below.
Flashing from recovery
To flash from recovery, just flash the patched zip file like you would for any other zip. Nice and simple.
In-app flashing
To use in-app flashing, go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the floating button on the bottom right, and add the zips you want to install. You can queue multiple zips and they will all be flashed in one go. Once you've added all the zips you want to flash, click the check mark in the action bar and they will be flashed right away.
A normal backup from recovery will backup every ROM. If you would like to back up ROMs individually, please see @rlorange's awesome tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491299
How do I...?
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
You can flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery. It will provide a menu interface that allows switching to the various ROMs.
If you have TWRP, you can also switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
Alternatively, flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery, which will also allow you to wipe a ROM.
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it
