There are currently 2 major problems that the users are facing with Samsung Galaxy Y S5360.
1) Firmware Upgrade with KIES
2) SD Removed Unexpectedly
1)To Upgrade your Firmware with KIES successfully in One-Go:
Backup your phone, Remove your SD-Card and then start the upgrade process. SD card is not necessary to upgrade the phone and hence, it will not interfere with the KIES upgrade process since, i've experienced many times that when your Phone is in "MAss storage mode" when connected to KIES, the upgrade fails for unknown reasons.
I've tried this and it worked like a charm. Though, your internet connectivity should be stable to download around 123 MB of data without interruption.
2) To fix the SD Card problem
Backup all your data to your PC and format your SD Card with "Fat32" format from your PC.
Do the format before your do the upgrade so that your phone gets a fresh Fat32 formatted card after the firmware upgrade.
Both of this will fix most of the problems with your Samsung Galaxy S5360 problems.
PS : I don't see any section for this phone and that's why i'm making one.

Thank you for this. I am in China and just thought it was my phone that got the SDCard error. But, I have already updated firmware - so can I just reformat SD Card anyway?
Yep. Try it. Not sure if it works that way.

have anyone tried this?Clockworkmod recovery working ok?
I want to say that the SD moynt problem still exists even after updated to the latest rom and formatted the 2GB SD with FAT32 under PC W7 x64 system..But i see that even the mobile removes the SD, then it automatically finds it and applications are there, but overall this whole process makes the mobile struggle...
I hope that roms will come and fix issue and remove some ram as well

does it boot in recovery from closed phone or only from rom manager?
I suggest using odin would be safe than using kies.

Yeah it somewhat works, can not mount, gets overwritten everytime.. so the hardware buttons don't work.
somewhat useless for recoveries as your phone needs to be working properly to do so.. Galaxy 5's port works too btw(similar way)..
what is mount?
It can load Clockworkmod from the ROM manager under Android, there is such option there, it reboots and after loads it.

So I installed the deodexed 4.2.2 ROM for my 5110 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367839). It installed fine, and rebooted fine. But after getting everything set up the way I went into Xposed and switched on the modules I wanted, then went to reboot -- now my beloved Note 8 is stuck on at the SAMSUNG page after rebooting.
I'm ready to go back and restore 4.1.2, but I can't get TWRP to see the external SD card where the backups are stored.
Any help there?
Thanks in advance,

I thought the Xposed disabler was only for CW and wouldn't run under TWRP -- maybe I was wrong? Getting it on to the tablet when TWRP refuses to acknowledge the presence of an external SD card is a problem, though. But thanks anyway.
I solved the problem by simply reflashing the 4.2.2. (which happened to still be in internal memory) all over again. But it's obvious that Xposed or one of its modules doesn't play nice with the 4.2.2. Android release for the Note 8. I deleted Xposed and its modules from my tablet after I got access back. Too bad, it did add some nice useful functions, but I'm not taking any more chances with it.

You don't have to go that far, copy this file to your SD Card http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1619566&d=1361912360
(File from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401)
And "install" the zip in your recovery, it will disable Xposed and your tab should fire up.

The problem is that TWRP refuses to acknowledge the presence of an external SD card, even though the choice is checked in the "Mount" menu of TWRP. Without that there is no way to get new files onto the tablet's internal storage. Even ADB won't work (Im guessing the tablet hangs before the usb port is activated, or whatever).
Luckily the 4.2.2 installation file was still in internal storage, so I just reflashed it and got around a very sticky situation, and then promptly got rid of Xposed and its associated modules. Shame, but I'm not taking any chances.
We really need a fixed version of TWRP that sees externalSD.

I found a workaround!!!
I booted into recovery and while TWRP was initializing I plugged in an OTG cable with a thumb drive connected. TWRP didn't see the OTG drive, but it DID see the external SD card all of a sudden.
Go figure.

Follow the instructions from this thread, I have Xposed framework, working with my 4.2.2 installation.

I have a new T-Mobile Note 2. I installed TWRP and SuperSU using the toolkit. I then used Root Browser and deleted a bunch of apps ("bloatware", I thought), and apparently removed too much, as the phone no longer boots android.
I downloaded the two Tweaked 2.4.1 Rom files, checked Md5sums, OK, and coped same to external SD card. I did the recommended wipes using TWRP. Thereafter, also using TWRP, BasicInstall finishes with success, but the Tweaked.2.4.1.UVBMD1.073113.zip install fails with "E: Unable to open zip file". Then I try to reboot, and get a message "your phone does not appear to be rooted", and take the option "Install SuperSU? That also fails.
I think maybe I can't install Tweaked.2.4.1.UVBMD1.073113.zip because the phone isn''t rooted? Is that right? But I can't figure out how to root the phone either. I'm stuck in a loop. Recommendations to fix appreciated.
Thx, Gus

If you got an unable to open zip file error - even though the md5s check out the only thing I can think of is the zip has become corrupted somehow. Did you check the md5 on a computer and move the file over? Might be worth checking it on the phone (you can use the terminal interface in twrp fwiw - just use the md5sum command).
Bottom line recommendation - try to copy the full zip over to the sdcard again. Also, just to sate my curiosity - did you wipe /system before flashing?

I did recopy the two Tweaked .zip files to the sdcart - repeated attempt to install on phone, same problems.
I also unzipped the two Tweaked files on linux, and although I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to see, there's no errors and a bunch of directories and files that generally look reasonable
I think I did wipe /system on the phone before flashing - could that be my problem? Also, when I go into terminal mode in TWRP on the phone, I get a hang at "Updating partition details"
Is it possible I've accidentally deleted the unzip program on the phone?
Is there stuff I could/should do from an adb shell on my PC through a USB hookup to the phone?
thx, Gus
You could flash stock rom with odin and start over.
Tweaked Out

Hmm... maybe reflash recovery? That's very strange - especially if the first zip worked fine and the second had the issues...

I wish I could! But when I try that it hangs at "Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled". And that's even if the phone is booted into download mode.

Odin back to stock. Twrp started failing everything I tried to flash also. That's why I stopped using it. But you need to Odin to stock

Finally got it working. dwitherell was more or less right about the problem. Here's my steps: 1) did a low-level format on the external sda card 2) recopied the two Tweaked zip files onto the external sda card 3) Cheked md5sums for both files on the external sda card 4) ainstalled from TWRP, as before. BUT - this time it worked.
I'm guessing either the external sda card or one of the zip files was corrupted - as dwitherell had suggested. Thanks to him and other forum members for helping out.

Check your SD card on another device. The card could have gone bad (can't write, occasional problems reading, can't format). I've had it happen to me twice.
If system files are on the SD card, read-only can cause problems. Last time I had that happen, I believe I ended up reflashing a clean stock ROM and starting over
Recommend saving app data (not the apps as one of them could be the problem) before nuking your flash though.

The point is Katkat v4.4.x dont allow apps to write or install in sdcard, you just change The permissions to write.
In your case , install by a clean setup The Stockrom, root it, change The Permission to write on sdcard at Platform.xml with a root Explorer.
Hey there,
I have a problem with my fairphone (FP1). I recently used it with the ROM provided by chrmhoffmann (thanks for that!) but as I will use the dual SIM function more intensively in the future I decided to go back to official ROM.
I downloaded and flashed it from my SD card. It started and seemed to work until I reinstalled some of my apps (including Xposed). The phone got stuck in a bootloop afterwards, but I could still do a factory reset and it would work again. Unfortunately I had to do this a couple of times.. Don't remember what happened exactly, but I also flashed it again from my card.
At one point this didn't work any longer. My SD card is not recognized any longer, I cannot install anything. I tried a different card and fat32 but no success.
I therefore tried to sideload with adb but the installation always fails immediately. Somewhere I've read that someone had a similar issue caused by missing executing permissions - but I don|t know how to check that without booting.
Next thing I tried was to flash with the flash tool. I have version 5.1320. If I open the scatter files from the offiial ROM I downloaded from fairphone.com I get an error because it's missing some files. ("Item[1] PRELOADER: File not found" etc.)
It would be great if anybody could help me with this scatter file thing and explain me how to check this permissions thing!
