How To Install Custom Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM on Samsung Galaxy Y S5360
Samsung Galaxy Y is surely one of the best ever phone produced by Samsung. Samsung basically created this phone just to serve the common people having a mid-range budget who wanted to taste the Android and they surely did it by keeping the price of Samsung Galaxy Y at around Rs.7,000. Soon after its release, the phone was big hit. Developers from all around the globe too started to take interest in this phone. When the ICS was launched, a custom CyanogenMod 9 ICS ROM was released for Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 and now when the Jelly Bean is out, it’s the right time to get your Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 dirty with custom Jelly Bean ROM. Here is a small tutorial that will show you How To Install Custom Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM on Samsung Galaxy Y S5360.
Disclaimer : If anything happens to your device during this process, no one should be held responsible. Perform this on your own risk.
Checklist : Make sure your phone is having 70% remaining battery. All the drivers of your device’s drivers should be installed on your computer. Also make sure you backup everything like Contacts, SMS, MMS, Internet settings, Passwords etc as everything will be wiped off in this procedure. USB Debugging should be enabled (Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging). Last but not the least, deactivate or uninstall all your antivirus programs, as they can later hinder the process and that’s something which is not wanted.
Note : Your phone must be rooted and should be installed with ClockworkMod Recovery.

Friend I think you should try re-installing the CWM on your phone. You can also try downloading the root package once again.

English please.
I followed the steps carefully but I think I (soft) bricked my SGY. Stuck in a boot loop. Currently looking for ways to unbrick my device. I need clarification on Step 1. Do I need to extract the downloaded file from Step 1 before moving it to my SD card?
I also need more clarification on step 5 please.
Also, do I have to go be on an official ROM to flash this Custom Jelly Bean ROM? I’m currently on CREED’s ROM. (or I was, since my deviced got bricked)
Thank you for sharing your problem.
No you don’t need to extract the file before moving it to the SD card, keep it in the .zip format only.
Coming to the Step 5, brother you need to perform full data wipe. You can do so by options available in the main menu.
And I think Creed’s ROM will not matter because we will do full data reset.
If problem persists, then please contact back. We love to help
Its keyboard language is different and its phone language is different and its not English please make it English please
Thank you for commenting but please make yourself clear.
Are you talking about the custom ROM ?
followed all steps properly , it has got strucked with samsung galaxy y (young ) SCREEn. i have waited for 30 mins but it didnt proceed further..
pls help me..
Thank you for commenting Bhavik.
If you are getting stuck on the Galaxy Y screen then you should re-try this process. If the problem persists, contact back
I installed it twice. Both times it got stuck on the Galaxy Y screen. You should consider adding that this may happen inside the article. Please tell me how to fix this. I need a working phone.
May be you have not installed the CWM on your GY. Do one thing, flash the stock ROM and then try flashing this custom ROM.
ban can chay lai bang odin la duoc

i gave Re_boot then it started working..!

but it is been editied by some one..!
anyways its nice .
i like it..!
suggest me if i can really install android 4.1
Thank you for believing in us
And as far as original ROM is concerned, or atleast something similar; we would love to write about it once it is available.
arjun i followed the steps but i stucked on the galaxy y screen plz help asap i follwed it twice
Thank you for commenting on our blog Anmol.Are you sure that your phone is rooted and installed with cwm? Also, if you are already running another custom ROM then please try again after moving to official ROM.
lol this custom rom not android 4.1 only android 2.3.6
Thank you for commenting Shamnad but let me make it clear that all the custom ROMs are the edited versions of previous original ROMs. You just cannot expect a bunch of programmers to create a whole new ROM!
some of the language is not english
May be that’s a bug.
Hi, just rooted my Samsung Galaxy Y and installed with Jelly Bean ROM. The installation seems fine. But then i am experiencing problems with the phone features..1st,i can not make a call but i can recieve. 2nd, i can not recieve SMS but i am able to send. and 3rd, please advise what antivirus can i use with the rooted phone.
Your Help will be much appreciated…thanks!
Thank you for commenting Anton. I guess you should try re-installing the ROM. Coming to a good antivirus, I suggest you Kaspersky and AVG
Both of them are good.
I think you should rename this article as it is misleading.
THIS IS NOT A REAL JELLY BEAN ROM (4.1) this is a simple modified 2.3.6 rom to look like 4.1!
Thank you for bringing that in our notice but there are certain points (mentioned below) that should be kept in mind.
1) This article has been crawled by Google, and now we cannot change the title (SEO reason).
2) The title isn’t misleading, this is a custom ROM and the customizations make this ROM look almost like the real Jelly Bean ROM.
3) Galaxy Y by default comes with Gingerbread OS.

You bricked your GY perhaps because you did something wrong. You can search Google for tutorials on how to Un-Brick Samsung Galaxy Y etc. Don’t worry
Oi, tem algum problema se o celular for roteado ? Porq o meu celular é roteado..
Por favor, escreva em Inglês. Usamos o Google Translator para traduzir sua frase anterior.
All ran well.
But the language problem.
Even though you set the default language to English,Some of the menu language still remains in some other language..I think Russian.
Please help with this soon
Try updating the ROM to it’s latest version. If the language still doesn’t change, try changing it from the Settings. If it won’t change even then, I guess then it’s a bug in this ROM.
first should i install cmw then reboot n then do the process????????
I didn’t get it. Please elaborate the problem and allow us to assist you in installing the custom ROM.
Dear Arjun,
after reboot i am getting samsung galaxy y screen only … and i am not able to reboot from by pressing 3 keys( i.e. vol up+home and power button)
For rebooting you need to go to the main menu of the recovery mode. You can use Volume keys to navigate and the Back button to go back.
Arjun bhai yar galaxy y mein default rom kaisy dalon?
jaldi batana im waiting.
Hashim Brother
You can flash the default (stock) ROM of Galaxy Y by simply using the backup and in case you didn’t make the backup file, you can download it from 3rd party websites and flash it in the same way we flash custom ROMs. 
i rooted my samsung galaxy y…later i upgraded to android 4…but is not working…now i want to change to old os i.e., android 2.3.6.
send me a reply as soon as possible
Download the stock ROM and flash it.
That’s it or you can even use the NANDroid backup.

Vcs são um bando de FDP, ferraram com meu celular
I understand only English, Hindi and Punjabi!

Use English please.
Amigo, fiz o procedimento ao pé da letra, mas o que aconteceu é que meu telefone trava na tela inicial Galaxy Y, e daí não sai mais, e para completar não estou conseguindo mais entrar em modo recovery. Perdi o meu celular.
I would love to solve your problem but please tell it to me in English.

This will surely help others.

Dude.. language problem!!
Ok. Tell me the problem once again, in detail this time.
Mr.Arjun please tell me whole prosidure of installation of jelly bean 4.1 in easy language..
Thank you.
That would be a bit tough. Try going for YouTube. The videos are much more explanatory than the text.
Hi Arjun help!
i not able to reboot my phone not do anything what should i do?
That’s strange. I suggest you to flash the original Stock ROM.
can u make video of it and upload at youtube
Wish we could. We don’t have Galaxy Y as of now.
