no update option means the option is removed, either custom rom or asshole customer service want to avoid rom update issues

What you have is a custom ROM. So start by determine the actual software version no. for your device. Then search for the right RUU

thank you bro ... will try it out ...
just to add flashing an ruu will delete your ENTIRE sd card (not just user data) so don't forget to back up your music/pics/... I once fell for it.
EDIT: you are running 1.29.415.11, so you can update to 2.17.415.2(released less than a month ago) or stay with your 1.29.415.11
If you have problems downloading from filefactory see this post.
And here is the complete list of the stock RUU flashers if you want to look for yourself.

If your phone is rooted then just use titanium backup or download root explorer and delete apk files from root/system/app manually.

You can't root 587 directly. You have to downgrade to an earlier version of firmware to do so, and then flash a 587 kernel to get it back to the most updated firmware (therefore keeping root).
Flash this, root with this (by running the runme.bat file), and then flash this - You have to use flashtool to flash firmwares/kernels onto your phone. Here's a tutorial on how to do it.

the 4.6 mb is a kernel, so you flash 374 mb first, and then root, and then flash 4.6 mb
and sorry I don't know any websites listing all kernels by country. I only have this which has all firmwares listed by country

U can't just get ur hands on Rooting (SU rights) without giving up data or Region.
If u really want to root ur device, this is the thread which can help : [GUIDE] Update to KitKat with locked bootloader & root
Yes u'll lost data (moborobo might help in certain backup & restore, I've used it) and as far as German Rom is concerned, this method replaces with UK Rom.
Umm so Root or Not to Root ur call..
Finally some clarity. I guess I won't Root it. Thanks for your help!
