Why did they removed the quick icons from Notification bar that appeared in 11.3.A.2.13?

Hi, i’m from Colombia, and i have this Xperia E, (when i connect it to PCC, it shows MODEL – C1504, single sim. And i have some questions, i hope you can guide me…

My phone’s firmware today is 11.3A0.56. And of course i’d like to update it, but, i want to know if is necessary to update first to 11.3.A.2.13 and then move to 11.3.A.2.23. Or can i go for 11.3.A.2.23?

The link above to Xperia E (C1505)_11.3.A.2.23_Unbranded.ftf shows and downloads as 390Mb. I have a download for Stock Kernel Xperia E C1505_11.3.A.2.23 and Stock Kernel Xperia E C1505_11.3.A.0.47 that seems to be around 5.7 Mb. As a newbie on this stuff , what size should I be expecting.

I gather I need the .0.47 to allow me to root my phone.
