There are few limitations before going into the process of Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Root / Unlock.
- First you have to Unzip Utility App so that during Recovery Mode, Update.zip file would be easily accessible.
- For this purpose download ES File Explorer from Android Market and install it.
- Now download Update.zip from HERE on PC.
- Pick your Galaxy Y to connect it via USB cable and place this file anywhere in your SD Card.
- Remove Phone from PC and Shutdown your Galaxy Y now.
- Now put your Galaxy Y in recovery mode. (while holding Home Button, Volume Up button and Power Button for 20 Seconds, this will put your device in Recovery Mode.
- In Recovery Mode Select the Second option, Update from SD Card.
- Now find the Update.zip file and press home button to execute it. Now process will be initiated and your Mobile will be Rooted.
- And after the process of Root, select the reboot option to reboot your device. You done.
- After this just download BusyBox and Install it to get access of BusyBox

Hey Mac, I know you posted for the s5360, but does your Root work for the S5363? (I know that they are the same series, hence I would assume that it would work) I’m not able to root it thus far. I’ve tried just about everything I can think of (even modding the *_script file in notepad) and still I get “Installation Aborted…”
Any thoughts???
i havent tried the same on GT-S5363.. so not sure about it… sorry
Dear select the second option “Download” in green u will need no registered account…

ok gonna try this – thx:))
No Problem…. do share your experience
First of all: what is the utility app and second: how do you unzip it?
first of all you dont need to unzip it…. just copy it to the sd card. BY Utility App unzipping means you just have to get utility app like Es File Explorer… it will enable you to see update.zip file ,, which means Es File Explorer will make you use the update.zip without unzipping it…. so just go to the recovery mode after downloading Es File Explorer and apply the update with update.zip file… you will be done….
hi mac,
is there any harm to mobile? i am doing this to get temple run game after it is sure that i can play temple run n my galaxy y and can we update 2.3.6 to 3.0 honeycomb
it has nothing to do with the blocking games and there is no update available to go on HoneyCOmb 3.0 from 2.3.6 right now
Which utility app – there lots of utility apps in the market – could you share a link?
Utility App i mean Es File Explorer… if you install Es File Explorer…. you do not need to unzip .. update.zip file… just get it from Google Play and go into recovery you will find Update.zip file
i couldnt root it it says there is a error for some reason

no meu fala unnistal erro o que aconteceu o meu tanbem é galaxy y e nao deu certo
o que u quero dicir con erro de desinstalación Speech
is there will be any change in hardware specification like increased processor speed, increased ram and rom, hd video support etc.??
well i am not sure about HD video support because it depends on the Screen and the Camera but yep you can increase only Processor Speed by Clocking it… but no for HD Video and RAM increase… Hardware changes required for it…
but why do u need to have more RAM and More speed on Processor??? its enough low end smart phone like Galaxy Y GT-S5360… just regularly clear the cache and you will get maximum out of it…
and also is it possible to install a higher resolution camera instead of factory fitted 2megapixel camera??
No it is not possible dear…. hardware changes cannot be made unless and until you ask or Samsung do it in there hardware labs
thanks MAC
no prob Pritam….. love to have u around…
I did all the procedure above but still its not rooted
i cannot install chainfire 3d and busybox
pls help!!!!
