  1. when I actually execute the stockware I downloaded, the program says fail. I dont know why it doesn’t work for me. I dl’ed the stockware for my region but it still doesn’t work, please help me… >.<

    1. It probably is because the file you downloaded is corrupt. Sometimes because of issues with Internet connection, the file gets downloaded as corrupt and hence you can’t extract it.

      I’d recommend you to re-download the file and make sure it gets downloaded successfully.

      Hope it helps!

            1. Pull and put the battery back in.
            2. Boot to recovery and do a factory reset (this will delete all your data!)
            3. Wait for the device to reboot and then an additional 10 mins.

  8. I have Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360. I rooted it but now want to unroot it as it has become dead slow. Don’t know why that happened. I am trying to download the firmware but just can’t. Is there any other site where I can get it ? Nothing happens in the samsung-updates site (I tried turning off Adblock too). The Hotfile site is shut down. Where else can I get this firmware ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

  9. after several attempts using the same method theunlockr post here, my GTS5360 finally recover from the sicken / illness root + brick by my own… The thing is, you dont stop doing it, just keep on click the “Start” button in Odin, doesnt care which odin version but as long as your mobile can detect it’ll be ok.. Method? The same one here they implemented, try again.. there will be no error unless you really dont know what you doing…

    i keep on pressing the start button a few times, everytimes i unplugged the battery and do it again and again and again and again until it’s done…
