Guys i having Hands on Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and will be going to Jailbreak / Root it to take access of Super User circle. Well all the time i have been busy in making you guys Unlocking iPhone and Jailbreak iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch but this time i will make Android phone to Root and Jailbreak. It is a kind off jailbreak on Android, which will enable you to get any other Android Rom on your device, right now i am having hands on Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 to root / jailbreak.

There are few limitations before going into the process of Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Root / Unlock.

  1. First you have to Unzip Utility App so that during Recovery Mode, Update.zip file would be easily accessible.
  2. For this purpose download ES File Explorer from Android Market and install it.
  3. Now download Update.zip from HERE on PC.
  4. Pick your Galaxy Y to connect it via USB cable and place this file anywhere in your SD Card.
  5. Remove Phone from PC and Shutdown your Galaxy Y now.
  6. 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.
  7. In Recovery Mode Select the Second option, Update from SD Card.
  8. Now find the Update.zip file and press home button to execute it. Now process will be initiated and your Mobile will be Rooted.
  9. And after the process of Root, select the reboot option to reboot your device. You done.
  10. After this just download BusyBox and Install it to get access of BusyBox

Here is the Video of the Galaxy Y which i Rooted via using Recovery Mode.

  53. noelma says:

    no meu fala unnistal erro o que aconteceu o meu tanbem é galaxy y e nao deu certo

  54. pritam says:

    is there will be any change in hardware specification like increased processor speed, increased ram and rom, hd video support etc.??

    • MAC says:

      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…

  55. pritam says:

    and also is it possible to install a higher resolution camera instead of factory fitted 2megapixel camera??

  56. Yashwanth says:

    I did all the procedure above but still its not rooted
