Help phone boots unwillingly

I updated Galaxy Y couple of days back via kies to DDKL1 (India) firmware. And ever since I am getting boot loops! The phone gets restarted every few minutes. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it?

From where do I get the firmware file for DDKL1? I had got the update via Kies, I don't have the firmware file saved anywhere. Earlier I was on DDKJ3, which also used to reboot 5-6 times a day, but now with DDKL1 it is rebooting endlessly (boot loops)!

So which firmware to flash and WHERE TO GET THE FILE? Pls give me a Download link for Stock firmware. And is it to be flashed via ODIN in the same way I flash ROMs on my Galaxy S II?

Samrox144, my dear, I'm sorry I could not make any sense of what you just wrote. Maybe your English is not that good or maybe you didn't understand my questions. You didn't answer the questions I asked so I guess that you don't know. Thanks for trying to help anyway. :)

Well "hard reset" or factory reset is always the last resort. Thanks for the download link, that's what I was asking. But the link is of an OLDER version of firmware KK1, where as the latest firmware in India is now KL1. So you want me to reflash to an older version? Can I have the link to KL1 or later fw than that. And you didn't answer whether the procedure for reflashing is the same via ODIN?

If you upgraded using KIES I'd say dont flash it yourself..
Either use KIES emergency firmware (something, in alt-menu) or take it to a center..
DO NOT FLASH IT YOURSELF IF YOUR WARRANTY IS STILL VALID(No Root, No Odin Flash or Custom Recovery)
