So lets start how to manually install CWM recovery in samsung galaxy y gt-s5360.
Note: To install this your phone must be rooted. To know what is rooting see this best article.
1) First Download Rom Manager from the market, if you have installed it already then its ok leave this step.
2) As Clockworkmod recovery is not available for samsung galaxy y you need to install it manually. Some users use CWM recovery of Samsung Galaxy Mini( it can also be installed), now download CWM recovery from here
3) Now copy the zip file into SD card and switch off your phone.
4) Now Boot you phone in recovery mode by pressing Home Key+Volume Up Key + Power Key together for few seconds until you see samsung galaxy y logo.
5) After that you will be taken to a menu, in this UI your touchscreen facility will not work, so use volume keys for scrolling up and down, home button to select and power key to go back.
6) In that menu select update from SD card and select the zip file which you have recently copied it in your SD card.
Wait for few seconds and you will be taken to CWM recovery …that’s it, you have successfully installed CWM recovery in your phone. If you have any issues on rooting and other queries please feel free to comment.

It works, but within limits.
First, rom manager is not able to reboot into cw recovery mode when backing up rom. Hence it doesn’t get connected to rom manager.
Second, you have to select “update from sdcard” every time you wish to use it. (maybe its meant to work like that. don’t know)
However, as a standalone works like a charm. Was able to backup my rom.
Downloading my custom rom. Will update the results….(i’ve got slow internet connection)
ofcourse you have to select update from sdcard everytime to enter in cwm recovery, there is no other way…..:)
sir m not able to get odin complet setup..whever i download setup of odin its showing only .tss file not another file

Rom manager asking for version confirmation .which version is this(2.xOr 3.x)??
Don’t go in ROM manager directly install CWM recovery in recovery mode!!
then how can i create a full backup of my current rom i have already installed CWM recovery and i want create a full backup using ROM manager what should i do now…..pls help me
if you take backup and try to install also then no use for it!!
Use flash with odin to get back stock rom!!!
Firstly-Great Article. I was impressed as I could not find the CWD zip file anywhere else for this particular phone.
Secondly-How do I back up my current rom before switching. And how do I switch back to it after installing the new ROM.
don’t back up your rom becoz if you back up the rom also then some error’s are coming, you can get back to stock rom using odin anytime!!!
Okay. But wouldnt I need a copy of the .pit and .ops file for my particular phone regardless of whether I am backing it up using ODIN or not. ODIN can be used once I have the copy of the stock ROM. BUt from my searches I could not find this particular copy anyhwere. Also why would error pop up if I backup my current copy using ROM manager ?

how could i know tht the CWM is instlled on my phone
Just go to settings>> About phone. You will see the current version of CWM. If it is different from the original one, it has been installed..
is this tutorial can be used for install it on galaxy mini..?
am i can use this step for galaxy mini?
Galaxy S3 Mini has different version of Android installed in it. So you can not do it.
