Update for Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 users with Cyanogenmod 11 KitKat

Hey guys! As most of you know that Cyanogenmod 11 KitKat was released for Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 a month ago with many bugs. But now Cyanogenmod 11 for our Galaxy Y is getting stable than ever. All the bugs have been fixed in the ROM except video recording, h/w decoders and some lags. So this post is for all those who are installing the ROM after version 20140723. All the people who had flashed the ROM after the version 20140723 would have the got the "Installation Aborted" error. This is because all the Cyanogenmod 11 releases after this version are switched over to the MTD flash drivers. So in order to flash these ROM's you would require CWM Recovery v6.0.53.

Requirements:-

1. A rooted Galaxy Y GT-S5360 with stock rom
2. CWM Recovery.zip from here
3. CWM Recovery v6.0.53.zip from here

Installation Instructions:-

1. Turn off your Galaxy Y and boot in recovery mode by pressing the three button combination (volume up+home button+power button)
2. Using the volume up/down keys select apply update from SD Card
3. Now select CWM Recovery.zip
4. Now you would be in CWM Recovery v5.0.28
5. Go to mounts and storage and mount all partitions
6. Select install zip from sd card>choose zip from sd card>CWM Recovery v6.0.53.zip
7. Wait for the installation to complete
8. Now go to advanced and then select reboot recovery
9. Now you device will reboot in CWM Recovery v6.0.53
10. This is the most important step. Go to mounts and storage and then select format system. This will change your system to MTD.
11. Now press the back button and select wipe data and then wipe cache partitions
12. Now follow all steps from here

I would always add my phone number on my posts so that anybody who had problems can contact me but I had to remove it from all my posts because of some prank callers.
