How to Update the Galaxy Y S5360 with the DDLC2 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware update:

1. Download the Android 2.3.6 DDLC2 Gingerbread firmware from here.
2. Extract its contents in a single file and make sure that there are four files created. One should be ODIN exe and other Odin titled file, one is the firmware image and one should be a .dll file.
3. Launch ODIN exe and then power OFF the smartphone.
4. Now you need to enter Download Mode and this can be done by pressing the Volume Down + OK center button and while you’re keeping both pressed you should press Power. This loads the download mode. Keep ODIN launched.
5. Connect your phone to your PC and in ODIN check to see if the ID:COM has turned yellow.  This means that all the drivers have been successfully applied. Move to the next step.
6. Go back to ODIN and click the ‘PDA’ button. Select the firmware .md5 image file and then hit the start button for the update to start.
7. After the update is completed your device will be rebooted. Now turn it OFF once again.
8. Enter Recovery Mode by pressing and holding the Volume UP Key + OK center button and then press Power.
9. When in recovery mode you need make sure to select ‘Wipe data/ factory reset’ and the ‘ Wipe cache partition’.
10. Reboot the device by selecting the option that says ‘reboot system now’.
11. When the Galaxy Y S5360 updates successfully the home screen will load and that should be it.
