[Q] Can't install Custom ROMs om galaxy Y - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using a galaxy Y S5360 for almost 18 months and I have been using custom ROMs for around 15 months. First I tried Creed 3.5 and loved it. A few months moved to Jellyblast 3 which was again fine. Two days ago I tried installing Hyperion and my phone got bricked I managed to flash stock ROM using odin . But now my phone gets bricked everytime I try installing a custom ROM ( tried Creed 3.5, Jellyblast 3 and Hyperion 8) :crying: and Im stuck with the stock ROM :crying: .Is there any way to fix this problem

Change your custom recovery, or did you do the following when flashing a rom?
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Wipe Battery Stats
5. Fix permissions.

I've finally managed to install hyperion (after trying for several days). But now got another problem. The phone switches off automatically once in every few hours and wont reboot. When I go to recovery mode, the "system" is unmounted automatically under mounts and storage. If I remount the systems and reboot mu phone, it boots up without any problem... but again the phone switches off after a couple of hours. Is there any way to solve this problem without flashing it??

Same Problem

hey stuck on boot logo there are many questions like this ok consegregate........
now the answer before flashing any rom wipe factory resets ,wipe card partitions and wipe delvik cache using cwm and also keep your battery full .i installed cm7 rc1 by grif with this method.
and also use roms build for ace only hahahaha
Where's your phone from?
I had some problems flashing some roms for S5830 since mine is S5830B.
before installing any custom rom in recovery do a factory reset then wipe cache partiton and dalvik cache then flash the rom
My phones from India.I did do all the wipes and resets.Even tried flashing with sys and data mounted.Tried even after formatting system and data.But nothing works.The only rom which i successfully flashed through cwm is ginger real 1.4.

thanks for the reply I tried that but it didn't work, I retried the bootloop sticky both for gingerbread and ICS but that didn't work either, I can boot into download and recovery mode.
I can flash CWM and I have retried to flash checkrom v6 from sd card but just stays on S boot screen.
Could the ICS update from Samsung have caused the problems I am having? I have previously flashed a number of different ROM's via odin and CWM with no problem at all
cheers
Mike
Hard to believe, when you format data, system, cache. It's a clean slate..... You should not be boot looping anymore..... Do again, flash stock GB ROM after that.... Wait 3 to 5 minutes. Takes time on first boot.

Oh after wiping and formatting system, you should be doing Odin only stock flash.

I gave up in the end and took it to a local shop to see if they could fix it
thanks for the help if they don't get it running I will try your method
Mike
Ok so I have my phone back from the shop who could not fix it either, it booted but when trying to use phone etc it just hangs, so I flashed cf-root formatted system, cleared cache, and user data then re flashed stock rom XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1
bootloop removed battery restarted bootloop
I am now dl I9100XXLPQ_I9100H3GLP2_H3G see if that works I might have to send it off to Samsung see if they can fix it I will have to pay as warranty will be void :-(
Ok so after numerous attempts at flashing I now have a partially working phone using GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5 I say partial because everything is working except when I recive a call I cannot hear the person and they cannot hear me? and I get com.android.phone is not responding options to wait or close
wifi, googlestore, send sms, updates, keyboard all works perfectly
any idea what's causing this driving me nuts now

What do you mean by "cwm counting" , anyway i would pull the battery, wait 30 seconds, put battery back in, go in recovery mode and do a data/factory reset and reboot.
