Ok, so i decided to go with cyanogenmod, and i'm not sure what i did wrong, but when the phone started up all i'm getting is the Cyanogenmod boot animation, then it keeps looping that same animation. Made a different thread because i felt it was unrelated. Is it bricked or...? Thanks for any help!
how long did you wait upon initial boot? did you perform a full wipe before installing?

About 15 minutes. Nothing happened, so i pulled the battery. I realised now i probably shouldn't have. I wiped the second option, can't remember what it said again, began with a D though. I backed up everything though using clockworkmod beforehand.

If you're coming from. Stock, you need to do a full wipe (factory reset) before flashing. If that doesn't work, restore your backup and redownload (it might just be a bad download, make sure you're on WiFi with a good signal).

gotcha. yeah, it should boot long before 15 minutes.. 5-10 minutes isn't unheard of upon initial boot, though.
you should be fine, just go back into recovery and wipe everything. I've attached a tool that will come in handy for wiping, provided by our good friend amazinglarry. it is a flashable zip, so you can install it through recovery by selecting "install zip from sdcard" and finding superwipe.zip.
please note that running this script will delete EVERYTHING on your phone (aside from stuff on your sd card). it formats /system , /data , and /cache.
so:
-download this attachment, place it on your sdcard
-reboot into recovery and select "install zip from sdcard", then choose superwipe.zip
-let it wipe and format each partition, the phone will automatically reboot.
-reinstall CM7 & gapps through recovery
that should get you going.

Sorry for the late reply... but how do i boot into recovery again? xD Sorry, complete noob.
Right... I get into Hboot and it instantly goes onto try and update to my stock update thing i used to get it down to 1.34 (PC10IMG.zip) instantly, it wont let me go down to recovery...
ANOTHER edit - i tried it without my SD in and it worked fine - but i didnt have my back up because its on my sd card -.-
plug your sdcard into your computer and delete the img.zip file off of it
yeah... i can't really, my only means of accessing my sd card was through my phone.
Hello all,
First try at rooting my DINC to try and make it more livable before upgrading (gingerbread OTA update SUCKS!)
I should start that I am rooted, just have not tried loading a ROM yet.
Looked at the Ice Cream Senseless and liked it. Downloaded the .zip and put it on the phones SD card. Followed these instructions:
1. Power off the phone and boot into Recovery mode
2. Now Select Wipe Data/Factory reset from the main menu, and on the next screen select Yes-wipe data
3. Now scroll to Wipe Cache Partition and select it. On the next screen Select Yes-wipe cache.
4. Now on the main menu, click Advanced,and then Select Wipe Dalvik cache. On the next screen, Select Yes-Wipe Dalvik
5. Now that you have completed the full wipe, scroll to ‘Install zip from SD card‘
6. Then Select Choose zip from sd card and navigate to the ‘IceCream_Senseless_v1.0.zip‘ file you transferred to the sd card.
The phone spends about 5 seconds trying to load the ROM, then says "loading update; update failed; installation aborted"
Tried to see if it worked at all and rebooted the phone into a boot loop. Had to flash the recovery and go back to what I had.
Did I miss a step? I looked through the thread for this ROM and didn't see anyone else with this issue that downloaded from the same spot.
Much appriciated!!
If you get that error its probably a bad download and the flash failed as well. Try downloading again. If the OP of the ROM page has an md5 then compare the md5 of the ROM you downloaded to the OP's.

What tiny said, I hope you made a nandroid or at least have one to restore to in case this doesn't work!
I did at least have a backup to restore too, so I wasn't totally lost!
What is an md5? What should I look for to make sure that the ROM is good?

I don't know exactly how to define an MD5 sum but it is a long string of characters that is unique for every file. It wouldn't be to check that the ROM is good, so much as to check that your file is good. If you had a bad download that corrupted a part of the .zip file or something during the transfer to your sd went wrong that corrupted part of the .zip then it will output a different MD5 than the one that would be provided by the developer. that is why it is wise to always check your MD5 Sums from your phone before flashing them. This is especially important with things that you would be flashing through hboot because you can permanently damage your phone by flashing a bad file, just one time. However, it is still wise to check MD5 sums on ROMs because after a long time of flashing bad files you can corrupt your phone's file system and that would be less than ideal as well. There are several MD5 checkers in the google play store but I like the one by Fabien Thalgott because it allows you to compare two files or compare one file to a sum that you copied from the internet or a sum file.
For the case of this ROM, I found a link to v1.3 which i would guess would be a newer version than 1.1.1 but if you see here
http://d-h.st/4scnusnddy2u/signed_IceCream_Sense_v1.3.zip
Dev Host provides you with the MD5 sum: d382a06889f856eb4256e3239eec9318
so that is the number you should compare with on your phone before flashing
I got the above link from this thread, just so you know:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359264
As for v1.1.1 I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478349
With this link to the ROM on devhost
http://d-h.st/zBw
and this MD5 sum

Best of luck!
Finally looking to try a non-stock ROM. Heard good things about latest CM10 M2.
Current setup: Stock recovery, stock ROM, rooted, I747UCLEM
Steps already done:
1. do a full imei backup
Steps I'm planning on taking this evening:
1. download Rom Manager
2. use Rom Manager to flash CWM Recovery (should I do normal or CWM Touch?)
3. do a nandroid backup (never done one before)
3. download zip of CM10 M2 rom and google apps (where do i put them on the int or ext SD?)
4. boot into recovery, do factory reset/wipe, wipe cache
5. install CM10 from zip
6. ?? do i install google apps as well now, or do i wait til after CM10 is done/rebooted and then go into recovery again?
6. sign into google to get contacts/gmail/etc synced back up
7. anything else? i'm not going to restore from TB, I want to start fresh.

2 up to you i prefer twrp you can get it from goomanager in the play store
3 easy to do in recovery best insurence you can have for a bad flash
3. internal is best
6 i have done it both ways with no problem
7 nope looks like you got the steps right but you do know m2 is a experamental build
#2 do normal unless you want to buy touch, don't think it's free
#3 once in recovery choose backup, it will take a bit, let it finish
#4 put it on your internal and this should be done before you boot into clockworkmod recovery
#5 steps in recovery are: 1 install zip from sd card
2 choose zip from sd card
3 navigate to the zip,
4 install
#6 you can install them right after the ROM
#7 reboot when finished, let phone fully boot THEN
#8 reboot phone, helps settle things a little (you just made a big change to your system lol)
#9 sign into google and let things sync
Troubleshooting, gapps may force close on you a couple times, don't worry, if it happens continuously then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash just the gapps (they are finicky) If you experience multiple force closes and stuff not working right, boot into recovery and under advanced find fix permissions and let that run.
If all else fails then boot into recovery and do it all over again, coming from stock to aosp your MAY have to flash a couple times to avoid errors while flashing a completely different os(usually not an issue but you never know)
Good Luck
edit--->dang I'm slow tonight lmao
Thanks to both of you! Very much appreciate the detailed responses.

So my nandroid backup just finished, and the folder is only 20MB in size. Is that normal? I guess I expected it to be bigger. I have about 70 apps, all installed to their default location, no music, no photos, no videos, on rooted stock AT&T. I did the backup by booting into CWM Touch Recovery from Rom Manager, going to 'backup and restore', 'backup to external SD card'. Took about 20 minutes to complete, it said completed successfully, and I hit 'go back', then 'reboot system now'. When I moved the backup folder to my pc and checked the size, it only shows as 6 files are 20.9mb.
Files are as follows:
boot.img 10,240kb
cache.ext4.dup 1kb
data.ext4.dup 760kb
nandroid.md5 1kb
recovery.img 10,240kb
system.ext4.dup 228kb
Thanks!
Whoops. Figured it out. The whole blob folder is part of it too. Sorry

You have forgotten the most important step in flashing any zip file in cwm
Go into mounts and storage and mount system and data before you choose a zip from sd card
Also the links to jb v3 have been removed due to rule brakes - I suggest you base your guide on another rom

Mount system allows cwm to write to the system folder of your phone
Some versions of cwm when cwm is flashed have system already mounted which is probably why you got away with it
If system is not mounted the zip will still appear to of flashed but nothing will of changed

the thing is in 'permanent' cwm kernels(like savie) /system won't be auto mounted therefore you'll have to mount it manually for successfull flash as cwm can't write onto an un mounted partition . The problem doesn't seem to exist with temporary cwms.
CWM Rom Manager
Hey I would just like to know! I used this then after some reading I would like to install the rom manager from Play Store. I tried it but it seems that my Galaxy Y is not supported then it asked me if I already installed one. Is it ok to also use rom manager with this method?
I already change my ROM feom stocm to cm7, then i decide to partition my memory
But sadly after i did the partition steps you provided here, i lost 2gb from my sd and i check the link2SD storage info and found 2nd partition not mount. I click cleanup 2nd partirion too but i receive error message /data/sdext2 mount not found. I tried to mount it in CWM but nothing happens, what should i do? My internal is already full now

Tired of searching for a complete Guide to Flash JellyBlastv3 on your GT-S5360?
Well, I have something for you::::
Read On....
Warning: The Below Steps are only for Samsung Galaxy Y, GT-S5360
Performing any of the steps shall Void the Warranty of Your Device.
I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your Device or emotional loss or anything.
You are solely responsible for you actions.
The Following procedure has been tested by me and it is working correctly.
Warnings and Important Tips:
1. The process may and will erase all your data present on the device. Better backup your contacts, Messages, Calendar entries, Notes Etc. You may use Super Backup, Go Backup or SMS Backup & Restore. There are several other apps in the Market. I would recommend to backup using multiple apps.
2. A Computer should be within reach with internet. Also have a USB Cable. Wi-Fi is recommended.
3. Make sure the system is running Stock ROM and Stock Kernel.
4. Also make sure you are running latest version of android available. On Galaxy Y, it is 2.3.6
5. If not, you can update, by going into settings>about phone>software update. Sign in with Samsung Account. 6. Before proceeding further, make sure that the phone is fully charged (Recommended 70% at least). High Chances of damage are there if the device runs out of juice during flashing.
7. Proceed with caution. Avoid confusion. Follow the steps! Never Jump to next step before completing first!
8. Within Procedures if you think the battery is not enough (>70%), you can charge it before proceeding to next procedure. The Phone can’t be charged within an ongoing procedure.
9. Enable the USB Debugging option. Go to Settings>Development>USB Debugging. Check it every time.
10. It took me considerable time to type the detailed steps to make it easy for even a beginner. Be Generous.
DO NOT FORGET TO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON! :laugh:
I. Root
Rooting is a process by which you can get root access or administrator privileges to your Android phone and can flash tweaks, custom ROMs, custom kernels, install additional applications which requires root, use firewall etc.
Root will void your phone’s warranty but it doesn’t matter you can get it back! (Google unroot)
1. Download the the update.zip file to your SD Card (not in any folder). I have attached it with the post.
2. Switch off your phone & boot into recovery mode.
3. Press Vol Up + Power Key + Home button together at the same time to boot in recovery mode.
4. Touch screen is disabled here.
5. Use volume keys for scrolling & home button for selection.
6. Select Apply update from SD card.
7. Select update.zip (which you have downloaded).
8. When it shows Installed from SD Card complete written.
9. Select reboot system now.
10. Your phone will restart & first boot may take 5 minutes. (Mine took a few seconds!)
11. Check for an application Superuser and open it.
12. Go to Menu > Preferences > SU Binaries> Update binaries.
13. SU Binaries will update. (You need active data connection or Wi-Fi)
14. When it get updated, restart your phone.
You’re done! Your phone is now rooted.
Warning: Do not delete Superuser or you will lose your root!
II. Flash ClockWorkMod
ClockWorkMod is a Custom Recovery which lets you Flash Custom ROM, Kernels etc.
Note: This is temporary. Every time you need CWM, you have to flash it again. (For your convinience, keep it in the SD)
Instructions:
1. Enable USB Debugging by going to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging.
2. Download the CWM Recovery.zip file and Place that file on the root directory of your SD card. (Attached)
3. Switch off your phone .Then boot into recovery mode, (hold Volume up button + Home button + Power button).
6. Select "apply update from SD card ", find the zip file you copied to your SD card earlier.
Once done, it will give you the option to reboot your phone, reboot and you're done!
You got CWM installed, you can now flash custom ROMs.
III. Backup Stock ROM
In case, if anything happens to your device while flashing Custom ROM, backup of Stock ROM serves as a contingency plan. The Backup can be used to recover damaged device via Odin. (Now don’t ask me what’s Odin)
It can also be used to return to the Original State if ever you wish to revert back.
1. Boot into CWM by Flashing CWM again.
2. Go to Backup/Restore
3. Select Backup Current ROM. It will take a while and then it’s Done! The size of the Backup File depends upon the no. of apps installed. Generally should be around 200-400 MB.
IV. Flash Custom ROM (JellyBlastv3 by Avijit Ghosh)
DOWNLOADS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679563
INSTALLATION GUIDE:
1. Make sure that you're on Stock kernel. Stock = Factory version.
2. Remove a2sd or data2sd and format your 2nd partition if you have it.
3. Place the above file to your SD Card (NOT IN ANY FOLDER!!!)
4. Switch off your phone.
5. Flash Clockwork mode.
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Wipe cache partition.
8. Go to Advanced options and Wipe Dalvik cache.
9. Go to mounts and storage->select mount/system and mount/data.
10.Now choose: Install zip from sd card.
11. Choose JELLYBLAST V3.signed.zip and choose yes.
12. Keep your fingers crossed and pray.
It will be installed. Now reboot your phone. First boot will take time. Be patient.
V. Install OTA
Over The Air Updates are the updates that are released after the ROM to fix bugs and problems or to make minor changes.
Important: Apply the OTA Updates in serial-wise manner to avoid bricking.
1. Download OTA 1, OTA 2, OTA 3, OTA 4.1 and OTA 5 and place them in your SD Card.
2. Boot into CWM, Select “Install .zip from SD ” and select OTA 1. After Completion, Device will Reboot.
3. Repeat Similar Steps OTA 2, 3,4, and 5.
4. You are Done! Now you are Running the latest version of the Custom ROM available.
5. You can check for updates in OTA updater.
VI. Partitioning SD Card
On SGY GT-S5360, the Internal Memory is too low (190 MB). Every time you try to update the apps or try to Install new apps, you get the annoying message saying “ Internal Memory Full, delete some apps”. This is where Link2sd comes to the rescue!
There are also Similar apps available on the Market, but here we will be using Link2SD.
There are several ways to partition SD card, but here we will be using CWM.
Note: You need a rooted device, well doesn’t matter we have already rooted.
Note: This method will erase all your data on SD, so better backup it
1. Boot into CWM recovery.
2. Select Advanced options.
3. Select Partition SD Card.
4. Choose the partition size. (1024 recommended)
5. Choose the Swap size. (0 M)
6. Select “Yes”. It will take a while and then you are done! Reboot your phone.
7. Open Link2SD (or Download it from the Market). A pop-up will appear, choose ext3 (ext4 is fastest but ext3 is most compatible). Then Reboot.
8. Open Link2SD, Go to settings , then tick Auto Link.
9. Below in Auto Link settings click on all the three- Link App file, Link Dalvik Cache, Link library files.
10. Also set the Default location to external.
11. You are done. You can also link some of the existing user apps to the partition.
Now all your user applications will be linked to the SD Card, saving your precious internal memory space
Also Don’t forget to Grant Link2SD superuser permissions.
YOU ARE DONE! RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & ENJOY!!
NOW DON’T BE SELFISH! PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON!!!
The ROM has been made available by Dev Avijit Ghosh. Do not forget to thank the developer for his effort.
