      The main reason it doesn’t turn Yellow is because
      the drivers for your phone are missing.
      First, download the drivers from here
      and then proceed.

      Best of luck…!!

      Till now u hv tried many solutions but still the problem persists.
      It can be a prob with Galaxy Chat but I still recommend to Root your phone and try titanium Backup.
