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.

Hi,
u have to update to 4.2.2 stock firmware before flashing 4.2.2 rom! You can do this by flashing 4.2 Stock Firmware to your device using flash tool. You can find stock firmware here at xda.

Not a chance, wouldn't boot. You need to update to 4.2.2 firmware first.

Is 100% not possible. Both are different version. Merely jump from 4.1 to 4.2 without system apps, related files of 4.2 will get you nowhere. Make sure full wipe before flashing downloaded 4.2 stock rom. Good luck and cheers

Yes you can with a unlocked bootloader, flash a 4.2.2 kernel (dooms) and then flash custom 4.2.2 rom with full wipe this will give you your system files needed and kernel will recognise it and then boot

Where did the OP even mention custom roms? His post says he is on 253 and wants to be on 423.
It's entirely possible to directly update from 253 stock to 423 stock. One of the simplest ways is to use flashtool.

Just grab a 423 ftf from the general section and follow the instructions in the thread.

He said he wants to flash a 4.2 ROM. So thats not possible if not on 4.2 STOCK.

no one had seen tutorial that discuss updating firmware from .253 to .423 ?

If you do indeed just want to update to stock 423, then follow the tutorial I linked you to. Look in the general section for a 423 ftf.
If you're actually talking about a custom rom, then still follow the tutorial, then follow the instructions in the thread for the custom rom you're using.

Then what the other people in the thread said does apply. You should be clearer with what you're asking in future.
Just follow the instructions in the thread I linked to update to 4.2.2, then follow the installation process in the rom thread.

You have to downgrade to 4.2.2 and use Doomlords easy rooting method. Then (before modifying any system files) try an ota update.
Hope that works

No that would not work because this is T-Mobiles update, and if I go to 4.2.2, that would be a totally different Xperia Rom than on my C6606 (the 4.2.2 is C6603)

Oh sorry, I thought they would be more or less the same...

There are C6606 4.2.2. FTFs available.
Like this one for example. 10.3.1.E.0.191 is rootable with Root many Android, so you can try what was suggested earlier and root and try updating OTA.

I went down to 4.2.2 on the .191 for Tmobile (flashtool), rooted with KingoRoot, enabled survival mode and did OTA update. Was able to keep root that way.
Thank you

towelroot by Geohot
?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

It was right in front of us the whole time
If you are like me I have an Xperia Z C6606 which, regretfully I upgraded to firmware 4.3 or whatever the newest one is and was pissed to find out it causes my phone to heat up AND keeps it from rooting. Well my friend I found the solution you may not have guessed. Towelroot by geohotz works, it DOES show up as a virus with scanners ONLY being because it is an exploit, but I am successfully using it on my phone right now. The thing about towelroot is, it doesn't ask for SU Permission, it just gives it, so you have to be careful but it works great and all you do is download an apk and click "make it rain" you don't even need a computer!

Ive just done a factory install to take me right back as im not that keen on the KitKat update it took away all my apps that needed root and loads of stuff that was on the phone as there's little or no chance of now rooting the phone at this moment in time its up for sale hence the cleansweep

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".

### Cynogenmod vs Stock Rom? ###

Hello everyone. I've been using the stock firmware since i bought the phone but currently thinking to try cynogenmod.
What i want to ask is, does it worth to install CM as Sony's stock rom is pretty good both performance/battery consumption and UI wise, compared to many other phone like samsung which i never quite liked.
Will it improve the battery life which is sony has already done a good job on stock firmware and what other benefits will i get?
Thanks in advance.
