Now place this file in to your sd card (You have to extract the downloaded zip file, also make sure that you are not placing the extracted files in any folders)
Once you have transferred the required file in your sd card, turn it off and enter Clockwork mode (In order to boot in to Clockwork mode press Power button + Home button + Volume Up button until Galaxy Y logo comes up)
Since touch screen won’t work in Clockwork mode, you will have to use volume keys for moving up and down.
So after wiping data cache and Dalvik cache you have to choose Install zip from sd card, chose JELLYBLAST V3.signed.zip and choose YES.
Once it gets installed, restart your phone. This time your phone might take up to 5 minutes to boot up, so be patient until media scanning is completed and your phone boots up with new rom.
