if thats an .img file means its a kernel and u cant flash it...requires bootloader unlocked...(depends whether fr locked or unlocked)
from where did u download this zip?? was it for locked bootloader...
1. TRY THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063029&highlight=kernel
2. also google it : "rooted Xperia u GB ftf"
u would find it...
or go with method 1...

I don't understand where is the problem, you are now on ICS, you can't just flash some .62 zip via CWM. By doing that you will only(most likely) replace system partition, other stuff like kernel, baseband, data will be left from ICS.
ThilinaC told you to do a full flash first. Meaning, first flash some GB ftf, then root, then CWM, and then you can flash that zip in CWM.

hm, my advise:
flash .42 ftf, root, CWM, flash that zip you linked, and then flash stock .62 kernel(you can flash stock even on locked BL, of course if you don't have SIM-lock, meaning if your fastboot is enabled)
or you can check this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
and get .62 via OTA update, after flashing .42.

Yes, you can, if you didn't unlocked your BL via official way.
Just a /system dump from stock, but rooted, firmware 4.1.B.0.431 for WT19i.
Use it to restore any stock files, that you might have lost/deleted accidentally.

EDIT: To all the people, who might get confused - This is not a CWM/Recovery-flashable .zip file!

This is not ment for flashing at all.
Besides, you cannot install a rooted system without having a rooted system already.
You can use this to restore certain stock system files, incase you haven't made backups.

please dont be lazy, the answer to your question is just one page back...
anyways this is for rooted only lww and it is not a flashable zip.
can be used to create one in order to restore files to stock.
no need to unlock bootloader, root only required.

Yes cause you can't root ics for mini pro. You have to downgrade and then root downgraded firmware, use local-prop and then upgrade to ics without wiping data, then run push-root-files and you should have rooted ics!

You want to flash just the kernel or the Rom mate? You can't flash ics kernel on jb rom. You have to flash or ics or jb.
