You don't flash the while system, just kernel you should be able to find it iin XU development forum.
When you done rooting flash your stock kernel back from the firmware FTF you flashed , uncheck everything other than kernel.

Am sorry for bothering you, am just juvenile, I just want my device rooted on .100 because that's the most stable Rom... So you mean I have to downgrade(to .10) n root, then later upgrade to 100.. Is it possible that way?

you can use the flashtool to flash a generic ROM then use seus to go to 2.3.3.

u have already installed naa kernel, meaning that you have unlocked bootloader. this article said that you can update through SEUS if you have unlocked the bootloader. i'm not experienced with x10mp bootloader issue before this but my gtab7 experienced bootloader problem after unlocked,flash the stock bootloader and solved the problem.
but you said that you have flash the stock kernel and still cant install through seus. why dont you try to reinstall seus,mybe something wrong with it. and btw,did you manage to flash stock kernel successfully?

I think you can only do it with flashing it back, so flash gb and then ics. Look here.
I have used this method before and rooted my phone..is there a way to reinstall the official ics without having to use this time consuming root method agin?Just keep the root as it is

I think when your bootloader is unlocked you can root ics. But normally you need the downgrad-upgrade method

Boot-Loader Unlocked = Flash Custom Kernel
Boot-Loader Locked = Than flash Stock ROM with flashtool, un-check wipe data & wipe cache before flashing, after flashing do a factory reset

Hello, i need some help.
The kernel i have been trying to use is: X10_4.1X_CMX10_bootmanager_v13 + v_14 and alot more, but i can't come in to the recovery after changing kernel. but with the "Stock" kernel in flashtool i can get into recovery. cwm and the other, but then i can't install the rom i want, i need to install the kernel above before i can install the rom. Sry for my bad english, but i hope u understand.
bump since i edited.
Comeone guys, someone know why i cant get into cwm after changing kernel
The problem is you are trying to install kernels that is not supported by your ROM.
Have you unlocked your bootloader? Check it using S1Tool
I had the same problem with that kernel I couldn't get into recovery. Which rom are you trying to install JB? Or ICS? Try armin kernel for ics or jb and see that's what I used

there is no cwm for locked bootloader on gb, that's why i didn't mention it. You have to unlock bootloader, install custom kernel prerooted and with cwm.
What do you mean for stock kernel and cm10.1 kernel? I am confused. Stock kernel is one thing and cm10.1 kernel is another thing. cm10.1 kernel you can find it inside the zip with the rom you have to download.

To flash stock rom there is no need to unlock bootloader but to flash custom one you need to unlock bootloader..... And there are two types of bricked phone 1st soft brick(which can be repair) 2nd hard brick (which can not be repaired) so if you do something wrong and your phone get hard brick you can't repair it and also unlocking bootloader can hard Brick your phone so only do it when you know everything about it... But if you soft brick it you can repair it by downloading stock rom and flashing it with flashtools

I think I'm confusing us and myself. so
1. no matter which ROM I use how can I flash GB or ics stock ROM via PC/flash tools in offline. It should work 100% (because xperia u got only limited internal memory. and that's why I can't keep backup files alway . and if I break my phone I will not able to use internal memory to copy any files there)
2. can I switch between any to any type ROM like
GB to cm10
cm10 to ICS
3. can I switch between stock gb to custom ICS ROM directly?
I will unlocked my bootloader

No. You have to root and install cwm. If you want to install custom kernel you have to unlock your bootloader, otherwise there is no reason doing so.
