what should i do first? i cant find samsung official updates in HONG KONG

Dude, you dont find any update for Advance on Jelly Bean. Only Russia and Serbia have that update official.
So, if you want Jelly Bean you must flash a FirmWare from one of these country. If not, wait for Samsung release an update for you country.

so i want to flash, what should i do first? are there tutorial videos?

I give you an link to index thread. Can find the way to how flash official FW?
And why video? It's all very well described in these threads. See bellow ...
Official Jelly Bean Firmware Installation Guide
Official FW for Serbia ...

where can i find the USB driver ?

Install kies on your pc.

Where can we find your brains?
Sorry, but learning is thinking and searching. With such an attitude you won't get anything done.

Did you follow every steps correctly? If you have kies installed, did you close it? Did you wait until it says PASS?
Try follow this.

Yes you can use it. Also your warranty still intact as you only flash original firmware via odin. This will not increase your binary count.

SOC1.9.5. Like Noejn said I also didn't noticed any difference. The only thing I see since v10b is LG making new versions just to make most people happy with new releases nothing more.

First and most important thing is to do Factory Reset via Hidden Menu 3845#*970#. This will un-root your phone and clear all data. Then do a firmware upgrade and after that again Factory Reset. This is the safest method.

The factory reset doesn't un-root the phone. The "called" root moves both superuser.apk and su binary to the respective folders so if you do a factory reset they will not be deleted.. To un-root you need to do it with the application you used to root the phone or flash firmware.

V10H (Euro_Open)

"For the equipment from Germany today a firmware update has been released to version v10h."
Once that Germany belongs to the EEC, I presume it is a Eurpen firmware.

The camera looks a little better (just a little, no miracles...)
The languages are the same, soo, it's a Eurpen...
No problems with network...
No extra apps...
BTW, ROOT is gone with upgrade, maybe because the way I flash it, or not...
Its safe to upgrade, the rest you can see it by your own
Can you root it?

I'm taking care of that now.
Tried to root it with both methods and didn't worked...
I already downgrade to V10A, performed factory reset, right now I'm upgrading to V10H and then I'll try to root it again.
I'll post the result
orry am such a noob but how do you downgrade to v10a, thanks in advance.

Take a look here:

Didn't get it via OTA yet. Are those who got it unbranded? Or are LG apps required (I disabled some of them to save battery, Software Updatre is still alive)?
Unbranded, Germany, no OTA Update available.
Does root still work/has to be rooted again? Please someone confirm this correctly.

I was always a fan of the Euro Open. I'm guessing that there are several battery improvements. As for the camera improvements, I think its just a placebo effect.

I had to root it again...
Now its rooted but I was only able to do it with the first method, using "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk".
wow the link is so damn fast
going 16MB/second (that means around 16000kb/s) and finished downloading in no time~
I will try flash later tonight and see if its doing any difference
How can I edit the Thread to change the title ???

does it reduces battery drain? Bcause i'm on stock INU JB and my battery is draining like hell!!
Yep. . the Indian firmware plus CoCore 6.0 (and even 5.0) is so far the best combination for better Gaming Performance and Battery life so far!

Maybe there are some models of I9070 just for your coutry and Hong Kong firmware works normal with it.. I did not read that people have experience like you. You can try to downgrade it to GB.

What? There's a few ways of rooting. It just requires downgrading to an earlier firmware version if you don't want to unlock your bootloader.
Or did you mean there's no easy "one-click" solution? That's a completely different thing to there being "no chance".
