If you want to update your Samsung Galaxy Y S5360
with the latest custom ROMs available then you should know that first
of all you must root the phone’s system. Without rooting, you can’t
enjoy the Android 4.0 or even 4.1 flavor on your own smartphone (we will
bring OS updates that can be installed on your phone soon) therefore
you must complete the already mentioned operation. In order to help you
out I will teach you how to easily root the Galaxy Y on any firmware,
the suitable tutorial being explained below.
But before heading to the actual guide, you should ensure that you
know everything about the root concept. Most of the users are rooting
their devices without even knowing what they are doing and ending in
regretting their decision. In order to avoid these situations you must
be sure that completing this tutorial is what you need for your Galaxy
Y. Don’t worry, you have all the details needed here, checking the same
taking only a couple of minutes from your time.
By rooting your Samsung Galaxy Y you will actually unchain its
internal system form the factory restrictions. When you first buy a
phone it will be delivered with the default settings installed by the
carrier. That means that each version of the devices will be coming with
different settings, so you can’t use a root tutorial for all the
Android smartphones out there. There are guides suitable for almost all
the handsets available on the market, so it’s very hard not to find one
for your own phone or tablet.
The root operation is not official one, so this tutorial is not being
offered by Samsung. In fact those of xda-developers are being
“responsible” so we have them to thanks for this opportunity. Now, as
mentioned, by rooting the Galaxy Y we actually understand that we are
making changes into the internal system. This aspect implies in voiding
the warranty. In this way the carrier tries to ensure that you won’t
remove the factory restrictions. But, don’t worry as the warranty can be
restored as soon as you downgrade to the stock ROM, or by updating with
an official OS released by Samsung only for your Galaxy Y.
The best part is that after gaining root access you will be able to
update your Galaxy Y S5360 with custom ROMs, customize or optimize the
internal system and install complex apps that requires root access in
order to run properly. So, in order to conclude, the root operation is
the first step that must be completed by those who are looking forward
in improving the performances of their devices. Now, I will teach you
how to root the Galaxy Y on any software therefore you can apply this
step by step guide regardless the ROM that is featured by your handset.
But first you must backup
the Samsung Galaxy Y data. This is being considered a risky operation
and you might lose all of your personal info by performing the same. You
