How to Update Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 with Official DDLA1 Gingerbread 2.3.6 Firmware
Procedure to Update Official Gingerbread 2.3.6 DDLA1 Firmware in Samsung Galaxy Y S5360:
- Download Official Gingerbread 2.3.6 DDLA1 Package from here to your computer and then extract the same. For your benefit, we haven’t added any sorts of password to the zip file.
- As soon you extract the files, you need to match the extracted files with the below image, even if single file is missing you need to check with extraction or download process.
- Open Odin in your computer and turn off your Galaxy Y so as to enter the device in the download mode. The download mode can be entered by pressing Volume Down Key + Middle button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button.
- Connect the device to the computer while keeping the Odin as opened. As soon as you connect, you will see that the ID : COM section in the Odin will turn yellow which will mean that all the drivers are successfully updated and you are ready to proceed with the next step.
Caution: Don’t proceed if the ID : COM section doesn’t turn yellow or else your phone will be bricked.
- Click on “PDA” and select “S5360DDLA1_S5360ODDLA1_S5360DDLA1_HOME.tar.md5”. Once you are done with the selection, click on “Start” to start the process of firmware update. Once the update is applied successfully, the device will be restarting and you may be asked to enter the Google Account preferences along with the Internet connectivity options etc.
- Now, turn Off the phone so as to enter the phone in the recovery mode. The recovery mode can be entered by pressing Volume UP on Volume Down Key + OK button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button. In the recovery mode, select Wipe data/factory reset and also you need to select Wipe Cache partition and then reboot your device by selecting reboot system now with the help of Volume rocker keys.
- Once you are done with this, select “++++ Go Back ++++” and press the power button on the option of “reboot system now” for restarting the device. So, now you will see that the phone is successfully booted in the firmware of DDLA1 Gingerbread 2.3.6 firmware.
Tip: If KIES is still not detecting the device on DDLA1 Firmware, then you need to check that KIES is on the latest version or not.
Last Word: You can check the same from the path “Settings > About Phone > Firmware Version” where it should show the current firmware is DDLA1 firmware. If there is any other version being shown then you need to again follow the procedure to update the device.

Hy Neel
Thanks for response. But i have all three file wich you have provided in ZIP format.
But i am getting error which i have mentioned.
Hi Pradeep, Thanks for providing Indian fw.
The last fw u uploaded was ver. KJ3 that i successfully installed
on my Galaxy and still using the same but facing SD card issue.
Recently u uploaded fw ver. XXKK6, XXKL3 and this DDLA1 which is one package fw as u said.
i tried all the above fw but none of these work and error message was ‘write operation failed’.
I appreciate ur effort for Indian fw but please upload all the files for fw DDLA1 bcoz Galaxy Y s5630 does not support one package update using Odin.
Thakns
is your device comes with bootloader?
No, there is no bootloader. i m on fw ver dxkj3 that u provided.
Getting Error: Write Failed!
check with the internal data! free more space!
to neal,
samsung galaxy y s5360 do not support for single file firmware….there is no odin available to update one packaged firmware for galaxy y…i tried your way adding file to pda but unfortunately it failed updating…
i respect that you worked for indian firmware but pls provide all files like pit,bootloader,modem.etc because there is till now no possibility of updating with one packaged file with this odin.and i think you should try it by yourself updating galaxy y because you are wasting your own time for creating thread,uploading firmware file and in the end it do not work…i am saying you this because recently you have posted 3 different firmware for this phone(all were one packaged) and all three are not working

Hi,
I recently updated the firmware of my Galaxy Y using Kies and now the firmware version is Android 2.3.6, Build GINGERBREAD.DDLA3, after the update I am facing two problems:
1. Android market does not work. I keep getting ‘connection timed out’ even though there is nothing wrong with my WiFi connection. Internet use through all other apps like browsers, YouTube, etc is perfect.
2. If I power off and on my phone, I get an SMS from somewhere which says, ‘Dear GT-S5360 user. Thank you for your interest in being part of the Samsung Family’. When I get this SMS I am charged and my talk time balance goes down
Please, can you give me a solution for this problem?
Thanks.
just update the google play apk file!
