After Samsung Galaxy Ace the second handset which has been recognized and accepted well by users is Samsung Galaxy Y, alike Samsung Galaxy Ace; Samsung also launched a DUOS variant for Galaxy Y. In this tutorial we are going to discuss how to root this medium end device and upgrade it.
I will not be liable for any resulting damage to your phone! Everything you do, do at your own risk!
Like all other Samsung Phone rooting procedure is same for this one too, only thing changes is the update.zip file.
Follow the procedure, it also contains the procedure for CWM recovery
- Get the update.zip file from here and place it to SD-Card
- Get the CWM-S6102 file from here and place it too on SD-Card
- Ensure your device is charged at least above 70%
- Get your device in recovery mode by pressing the key combination (Vol down + Power +Home key)
- You will see an warning sign and asked to press Volume Up to continue or Volume Down to Reboot, Continue.. If you want to still root your phone.
- Once you are in Recovery Mode you will get few options,select apply update from SD-Card.
- Navigate to the update.zip file using volume rocker, and press home to select the file
- Once you got the message saying update successful, reboot device by selecting the reboot system now option
- After being successfully rebooted check for the super user icon,if you got it...cheers you've got root access.
- If you don't want CWM recovery you can skip below steps, but I suggest to have it and then get your existing ROM backed up so that later at any point of time you can revert back your device to its stock and stay rooted.
- Now get Back to recovery mode, and select the same option apply update from sd-card
- Navigate to the CWM-S6102.zip file downloaded above, and select it by pressing home key.
- Once CWM recovery is installed you will directly get into CWM recovery mode, now you will see all new options,
- Select backup and restore and then select back-up, the current ROM will be backed up, wait for few minutes. Once the back up is complete, select the reboot system now option and you've done...
- Now you can install any other custom ROM or kernel enjoy...!! :-)
