Since the Galaxy Y launched in the market by Samsung, it is always been very popular and been searched widely over the internet. The combination of device cost and configuration made it a good deal for phone users, and developers as well. Galaxy Y is one most sold handset from Samsung and also got huge attention from developers. There are countless Roms, and mods for this handset and many other opportunities to improve its performance and usability.
But sometimes installing third-party Roms, mods, and other apps lead to bricked phone. Most probably it happens after installing a new ROM. In that case, to revive it back to working state, installing a stock firmware would be the best one can do. It happened to my Galaxy Y many times, and most of the time I had to use the stock firmware. If you’ve bricked your Samsung Galaxy Y then this guide is best suitable to you. In this post, we’ll help you to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Y using the stock firmware.

my galaxy y recovery mode is changed now its colour is blue.how i back my original recovery which colour is red
Hello suvam,
As you’ve install this stock firmware on you device, everything installed, such as custom recovery (Red color) has been replaced with stock ones, and that is why now you are seeing blue colored recovery. However, if you still would like to turn it back, you may install CWM or TWRP recovery on it.
My Galaxy Y phone can’t enable to load window. When I open power button, it appears Galaxy Y Young and then Samsung blink and then restart like this several times, please help me how can I reinstall and enable USB.

That video contradicts the tutorial. Don’t watch the video. Follow the steps and it will work fine. Worked perfectly for my phone :)
First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I’d
like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts
prior to writing. I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my
thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to
figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Appreciate it!
I value the post.Really thank you! Keep writing.

Ho very very happy I worked till night and next day to unbrick my phone but nothing worked I tried xda guid too but failed but your guid was aswm and unbricked my young very very thanks
Wow.. thanks for appreciation..
After being “raped” by Murphy’s Law – including formating the SD card while operating the phone with one hand and brushing my teeth with the other, while feeling an urgency to go to the toilet and being already late; after unformatting the SD card and restoring a backup with CWM, the phone hung while updating on the Playstore and then I could not restore the backup because CWM could not format the Data partition.
Google brought me here, and I thought I had to spend a few hours breaking my head following these procedures. I was wrong! Your procedure is absolutelly straight forward and very simply put. Click click click downloaded what I needed, followed the very simple instructions and unbricked the phone with no sweat at all in no time. Rebooted into CWM and restored my backup.
PRONTO! Kudos for your competence!
Thank you *so* much, Deepak!
Hi Bruno,
That’s great to know that you could bring your phone back. Thanks for your comment, and you’re most welcome.
