CSC_S5360_ODDMD1.tar.md5
MODEM_S5360_DDMD1.tar.md5
PDA_S5360_DDMD1.tar.md5


Step 2: Now switch off your Galaxy Y completely until it vibrates.

Step 3: Enter into downloading mode now. For the same, keep pressing and holding ‘Home Button (middle button) + Volume down key + Power Button’ simultaneously until you see a warning message on the screen (Refer Screenshot). Just press Volume Up button to continue. This will land you into downloading mode.



Step 4: Keep the phone as it is in downloading mode and connect it to your PC using USB cable. Ensure that you’ve installed device specific drivers on PC to detect the phone when connected (As mentioned in pre-requisites).

Step 5: Launch the ‘Odin Multi Downloader_v3.07′software which you have just downloaded & extracted on your PC. As soon as you launch it, the ID:COM section in it will turn blue with a random COM port number below it. You’ll also see an ‘Added’ message which will appear in the message box window. If it’s not showing, then check whether you have properly installed those device drivers on your PC or not.



Step 6: Now tick the Auto Reboot option and F.Reset option present on the Odin window (Refer screenshot). Do not tick or un-tick any other options. Keep them as they are.



Step 7: Select the ‘PDA’ tab on the Odin window and navigate to the ‘PDA_S5360_DDMD1.tar.md5‘ from the firmware package & select it.



Step 8: Similarly select the ‘PHONE’ tab located below the PDA tab and navigate to the ‘MODEM_S5360_DDMD1.tar.md5‘ file & select it.



Step 9: Finally select the ‘CSC’ tab and navigate to the ‘CSC_S5360_ODDMD1.tar.md5‘ from the firmware package and select it.



Step 10: After doing everything as mentioned above, just navigate to the ‘Start’ option on the Odin window and select it. This will initiate the actual firmware flashing process. Your Galaxy Y will automatically reboot itself while the process goes on. Do not remove the USB cable until the process completes fully. Be patient for few minutes.



Step 11: As soon as the process completes, you’ll see the ID:COM section on the Odin window is turned green with the message ‘Pass’ below it. This will confirm that you have successfully flashed your Galaxy Y with the latest Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread DDMD1 Indian firmware. You may now safely disconnect your phone by removing the USB cable.

Note: If the process fails or if Odin gets stuck or in case your device gets boot loops, then close the Odin window, remove battery from your Galaxy Y and re-insert it. Again go into downloading mode and follow the whole procedure as given above.

Step 12: After successfully completing the process, switch off the phone and boot into recovery mode. For that, press and hold Home Button (middle button) + Volume up key + Power Button simultaneously until the recovery mode appears.

Note: Touch will not work here in this recovery mode. So all you need to do is use Volume Up and Volume Down keys for navigation and Home button (Middle button) for selection.

Step 13: On the recovery mode, navigate to the ‘Wipe data/factory reset’ option and the ‘Wipe Cache partition’ option for clearing all the data and caches present in your phones memory. This is essential in solving the boot loops issue.

Step 14: After wiping data/cache you’ll again land into recovery mode. Just select ‘reboot system now’ option to restart the phone.
