Rooting your Samsung Galaxy Young

1.) First enable Unknown Sources on your phone (Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources).

2.) Download needed file (Universal_GB_ROOT_v9.zip) - Click here to download

3.) Put that file on your sdcard.

4.) Now turn off your phone

5.) Switch on your device in the recovery mode (hold power, volume up, and home button together). Plase note that you cannot use the touch screen while in recovery mode, so for up/down use volume up/down and to select an option press the home button.

6.) Once you started in Recovery Mode, you should see a few options, look for and select "apply update from sd card"

7.) It will take you to your sd card directory. Find the file Universal_GB_ROOT_v9.zip that you just downloaded and select it.

8.) Wait a few seconds, a lot of text will scroll down with some information and finally at the bottom it should say that update was successful.

9.) It will take you back to the menu. Then select "reboot phone now".

10.) After you reboot, look for Superuser in some of your pages. If you have it, you rooted! Congrats!

I do not take any responsibility nor StoneBoyTony if anything goes wrong with your phone (chances of that happening are very low). Do this at your own risk!

NOTE: Rooting will void your warranty!

UPDATE:
There is now a demonstration video for people who don't like text guides. Follow instructions seen below:
