 * 1) After "Installing a custom recovery", you have to take the USB cable out of the tablet!
 * 2) Then, in order to boot into Custom Recovery you have to do this in precise sequence...
 * 3) Press and hold the Volume Up button
 * 4) Press and hold the Power button until you see the Samsung Tab logo
 * 5) Release the Power button, but keep the Volume Up button pressed for about 13 seconds
 * 6) Then, when you see the ClockworkMod Recovery menu, you can let go of the Volume Up button

Don't panic when you see the CyanogenMod Logo at an angle on first boot up. It straightens itself into the proper centre position after a few seconds.

Possible Samsung Kies Hack
Use the following changes in the Windows Registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\3] "SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3" "ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE" "HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3" "DEVCONINFO"=" MN(GT-I9000);VER(I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3);HIDVER(I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3);PRD(GT-I9000HKDXEE);SN;IMEI(###############);PN;CON(AT,MTP,MTP);LOCK(FALSE)#OK#OK" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\] "LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"

Use the Kies version that ends on ...93_82

Uninstall your Kies and delete the Kies folder in the "Samsung" library in "programs" do not delete the folder with the USB drivers.

Install Kies in the old version, open Kies and do not update it when it tells about a new version. Just say no. Plug in the phone and wait until Kies finds it(otherwise you will not be able to find the value in "DeviceDB"). Open Regedit and change the values(use Copy-Paste) exit regedit and now try to update the phone in Kies, should work nicely.

 * 1) Before You Begin
 * 2) You need to have updated drivers from Samsung.  You can install these automatically by installing Samsung Kies.
 * 3) There’s no real need to back up anything as this will not need a data wipe, but do so just in case you run into problems.
 * 4) Download the Universal GB Root file.
 * 5) Rooting the Galaxy Y Pro and the Galaxy Y Pro Duos
 * 6) Enable USB Debugging on your device.  You can do this by heading to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging and checking the tickbox next to it.
 * 7) Connect your device to the PC.
 * 8) Put your device in USB Storage Mode and copy the universal_gb_root_v15.zip file you downloaded above to the topmost folder on your SD card.  You can put your device into this mode by selecting USB Storage when your device prompts you for the type of connection when connected.
 * 9) Disconnect the device and power it down.
 * 10) Put the device into Recovery Mode.  To do this, hold Volume Up and the Home buttons simultaneously and press the power button.  Now, hold all three buttons until the device screen shows the GT-B5512 Boot Logo and then goes black.
 * 11) From the Recovery Menu, select ‘apply update from SD card’.  Use Volume Up and Down to navigate and the Home button to select the desired option.
 * 12) Navigate to universal_gb_root_v15.zip and select it by pressing the Home button.
 * 13) Wait until you see the message ‘Install from SD complete’.
 * 14) Select ‘reboot system now’.
