Rooting My Galaxy Y

Hi,

My Phone Details are as follow:

Model Number: GT-S5360

Android Version: 2.3.6

Baseband Version: S5360DXLB1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 dpi@DELL132#1

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DXLB1

Q1) Is your update.zip file posted on January 6, 2013 still applicable and valid, or is there a newer upload?

Q2) Is the update.zip file suitable for my phone based on the given details? Reason for my concern is mainly because it seems to work for some and not all GT-S5360 v2.3.6 phones.

Q3) Is the success of your update.zip dependent on the Baseband Version / Kernel Version / Build Number of the GT-S5360?

Q4) Upon rooting, is it mandatory for me "update the binaries"?

My purpose for rooting my phone is just so I can install Adobe Flash Player onto it, and after that, I plan to unroot it.

Q5) Do you have a compatible/equivalent "unroot".zip file, or can I just download that from any other forum / thread applicable for my device? Reason I am asking this is because I read that some unroot.zip files may not work when the phone was rooted by a non-compatible root.zip file. Hope this questions makes sense.

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks.

Root not working

Hey, I'm having prolems in rooting my galaxy y.

Every time I click on "apply update to sd card", it says error and file not found. I HAVE ROOTED MY GALAXY Y BEFORE. It worked perfectly..i followed all steps perfectly and to the point. I unrooted later it for personal reasons.. I need help.. My phone is the exact same build number and all that and yet it doesn't work :( :/

I have checked this in other root tutorials and some comments say the same.

Please help. Thanks in advance:(

My first rooting experience went all well... Thanx to this forum... And I want to add a little piece of info from my experience... I saw someone asking how to update binaries... It is not given in the guide... I didn't update it from the market or play store... I just pressed the options button, selected preferences, scrolled the whole way down... And there you see: Su binary; tap her to update... Its the key... Hope this will help :)

So i copy update.zip to both of them but no results, I tryed also to copy it to /storage where are placed the two scdard bins, but it cant be done, can you help me please?

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
your sd card needs to be fat32

boot your phone

goto phone settings - sd card and phone storage settings

unmount sd card for safe removal (will show if sd card is mounted)

format SD card (will only show if sd is unmounted)

once sd card has been correctly formatted you can use it in recovery

note all data on sd will be erased so copy to pc first

optional - once sd has been correctly formatted you can go into cwm recovery and create a 2nd ext partition for use with link2sd - best to do it now as again sd card will be formatted

Sorry, I read some previous comments and fixed the problem. Do not try to download the update.zip file from an email you send yourself to gmail, it doesn't work. I lost my USB cable for my phone and tried emailing it to gmail, don't. I emailed it to outlook/hotmail and that worked fine though.

Query regarding swype on my Galaxy y

Hello friends,

It is heartening to see that you guys have kept the thread alive for this old-ish phone. After having used it for almost three years, I want to root and install a custom ROM now, but I have a query.

On my Galaxy y, I had installed Swype keyboard back when it was free. It works perfectly and its dictionary is customized with the words that I use frequently. Now, I am very keen on rooting my phone, but just cant seem to find a way to back the swype keyboard up. I can be okay with losing my custom dictionary, but I want to keep this exact app. I tried a backup app called "App Backup & Restore" but it does not recognize swype as an app and so does not create an apk for it.

Can you guys please help me out. I have tried other swype like apps on phones of my family members, but none work as smooth as the old swype, not even the new swype work as well - my opinion.

Sorry if this is not the right thread. Please point me in the right direction

Thanks again.

Hey guys, im planning to buy one of these phones, but i wanted to know if there are many developers making ROM's for either of these. Also, would i be able to flash Roms from xperia s/acro s onto either of them? they seem to share the same innards.

thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Nope, you can't take the same ROMs as other phones, and expect them to work... At least not without some tweaking and modding...

Wait, with a LOT of tweaking and modding... (Though some ROMs can be flashed on both S and the SL... But not all, so watch it or have a brick)

Since I see how some people are having troubles with the SL, I'd recommend you to consider the S (LT26i)...

But then again, if you don't have 4G coverage in your area, and if you don't have a mobile data plan, I'd tell you to go for the S (or SL, if those 200 MHz in the processor really matter)... Otherwise, if you DO have a 4G data plan, go for the Ion...

Since the Ion and S are very similar in specs, there aren't many differences, but there are some, still:

-the S has 32 gigs of storage, the ion only comes in the 16 gig flavour

-the Ion's screen only supports 4 fingers, while the S can take 10

-the Ion's screen is a bit larger at 4,55 inches, while the S packs more ppi at 4,3 inches

-The Ion has a microSD card slot, the S doesn't (although the S has larger storage)

Both have the same chipset, though the S is a bit cheaper.

And, if you're a developer kinda guy and a ROM flash addict, the S was in second place in XDA's 'most hackable phone of 2012' article...

If I were you, I'd take the S, since you often won't have 4G and many kernels allow the S to go even higher than 2 GHz...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sid3091:
thanks for your reply. Im getting the Acro S/Ion/S/SL for roughly the same price, and no, i wont be using 4G.

I mainly want the SL because of its awesome Grey color.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Then, the choice is yours, though, just a sidenote:

The SL has a bit less ROMs and kernels available, though nothing you'd actually flash on the S anyways :P

The acro S is actually an S without the illumination bar, with a card slot and 16 gigs of storage.

If you can, I'd tell you to save your cash and wait a bit until Sony releases the new Z and ZL, prices might go down :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sid3091:
I agree, ill wait a couple of weeks, who knows, i may be able to pick up a Tx/T.

I'm working on getting ParanoidAndroid 4.2 working, but it needs some stuff from 4.2 that can only be compiled from source to boot. Does anyone have a PC powerful enough for a community effort for (at least a booting) 4.2 build?

It can be AOSP or CM10.1 (PA sources for 2.99 aren't available yet)

Specs that would be useful:

At least 8Gb of RAM

At least Quad core

Running some sort of Linux build

Later on this year I will probably get a PC powerful enough to build from source, so until then I need some help from other users.

Thanks

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemp:
I have built 4.2 a couple of time using Quallenauge's repo, AOSP and CM10 but couldn't them to boot. At the moment I am building CM 9.1 using JackpotClavin's repo with the 3.0.21 kernel, can try 4.2 again if you have any idea on why it doesn't boot. I have built CM 7.2 numerous times for my rk2818 but the G9 file system is a bit odd.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quinny899:
Have you got CM10 to boot using the repo on its own? It's labelled "does not boot yet", so it might be built differently.

Also, are you using trevd's OMAPZoom one?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemp:
Update Some progress to report, CM9 is booting with 3.0.21 kernel using 4.0.26 image. CM must have been updating their server yesterday, never could get 10.1 so switched to CM 10 and building it now.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemp:
Hope you are having better luck than me. So far two system freezes and one reboot while trying to build CM10. AMD A4-3400 2.7 GHz - Memory: 4.0 GB, takes over 3 hours to build CM9.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julle131:
I have problem acquiring the source. 3 times failed downloading the 350/353. I have AMD A8-3500m 1.5Ghz, overlcocked to 1.9Ghz. Memory 8gb, so it will probably take even more for me. It takes almost ~2.5h to compile Boot2Gecko for SGS2.

I have an intel i5 3570K based computer with 16GB of ram. I would be willing to compile it if anyone wants. I am more of a windows person though but I do have Ubuntu 12.10 installed. I would just need some detailed instructions on how to get the source and compile it for the tablet.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quallenauge:
I can build that, but in my case the cyanogenmod hangs on boot screen and adb is stopped then :-/

It's not clear for me, how this behavior can be changed with properties. For timing reasons I was not able to try out the hint from trevd, which suggested to add adbd service at the init script.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemp:
Same for me, 10.1 stopped at 350 every time so I switched to Quallenauge's github which is 4.1.2. Took about 20 minutes to download. CM prebuilt is broken there also, term doesn't download. Just remove term from vendor/cm/config/common.mk or set it up your self.

I use SDE to export data and check CM9 log files that way. I am still trying to build, my computer crashes a lot so hope this time it finishes. I am retired so have lots of free time to spend working on build, thanks for giving me a hobby to keep me busy.
