Some Samsungs’ Android cannot support Ice Cream Sandwich, perhaps your model can’t.
Did you heard this http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45779746/ns/technology_and_science-wireless/t/samsung-galaxy-s-phones-wont-have-latest-android-update/

That isn’t the case, you can always update your device to most of the android builds. But that is the unofficial way, read about update Galaxy Y here: http://tutznet.com/update-galaxy-android-41-jelly-bean-blast-custom-rom.html

Don’t try to update to Android 4.1 to your current mobile. If you try to do this your mobile will not respond and may be you have to run to service center for repairing.
One of my friend has tried this and now his mobile is with service center from last 20 days but they are not even able to resolve it till date.

If available over the air,then go to Settings –> About Phone –> Update.

It depends upon manufacturer and if not available,then you may need to install custom ROM.

If the manufacturer or the carrier is willing and has provided the update for your phone,it would be very large update and firstly would be available via PC suite software that comes with it.Try updating your phone using it to check for any updates.

You can also check it via going to Settings –> About phone –> Update.

The size of the update could be about 500 MB,so you need to be cautious if you are on a limited data plan.

Unfortunately Samsung wont be releasing an official ICS (4.0) or Jelly Bean (4.1) update for the Galaxy Y nor there is a stable ICS ROM for it at the moment.

However , after a bit of digging I found a port of the CM9 ICS ROM for the Galaxy Y on xda.

Check it out here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605528
It is still under testing, so try at your own risk.

At the moment Android 4.1 is not possible on the Galaxy Y

If you trick your phone to thing it’s controlled by Google instead of Samsung you may get the OTA update. Haven’t tried it though. In any case you can google it :)

Doing it this way is highly risky as each handset version is different on each service provider. If installing the wrong version of OS on a device not meant for it most likely will render it completely useless.

As Vasudevan stated, 4.1 is not possible yet, if even there are any developers going to work on it as your device is being considered a legacy/no longer developing device. 4.0 is a work in progress, and if enough interest is in it, then there might be a chance of 4.1 on your device. You can read more here about what has been and still is being developed for your device, unofficially. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1470

There are chances other sites say there is 4.0 or 4.1 but beware of where you look as it may be a hoax. XDA is always trustworthy. They take joy in improving devices, not destroying.

i have a galaxy young too, just be happy with your phone. Before you bought it you first like it the way it is. so if you want an upgraded phone just buy another one. Go sell your other android phone :) -haras

If you want access to apps not available to your device (except ICS or JB specific) you can use the unlocked market app from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422

This would be the safer alternative as it unlocks the device and region restrictions on accessing certain apps.

You need to wait even if the company’s phone you own has announced it as it gets released in phases.So,keep checking for updates.Also,updates depends upon compatible handsets too.

Visit the link below -

It’s risky as it’s unofficial and requires rooting which voids warranty.

Hi

susendeep dutta

Samsung will never release ICS or Jellybean for your phone as its requirements are higher.So,if you would like to take risks,then you can try out ROMs.
