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!
Can i root my XPS with the new firmware 6.1.A.2.45 by flashing recovery image and then installing superuser and the last step is to flash original kernel.sin?
Do i need to have stock kernel.sin of the new firmware??
where can i find kernel.sin for new firmware?
Thank you

I've flashed advanced kernel on my locked BL... and got a bricked phone.
Had to flash stock firmware and start over.
Can you please detail a tested Advanced Stock Kernel that can be flashed into a locked Bootloader ?
The one I used is this one (build 14 via CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280

Friend i have two issue with this kernel.
1). After i flash it it display "Unfortunately, keypad has stopped" and "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" errors.
2). I can't see Superuser app in the app drawer.
Can you help me to fix this things.
Edited:- I flashed the superuser app via recovery, now it fix, but i have that errors.
Thanks!
@gregbradley: is that kernel from Neo V, based on .431? If yes, in .431 neo and neo v had different kernels, and when neo used neo v kernel user got problems as above. Not sure if it's same on .587
@android addicts: if you wanna keep her phone stock as possible, my advice is to have stock .587, then hotboot kernel which have CWM, and flash superuser.zip, on the next boot phone will boot with stock kernel and you will have superuser.

I think it is NEO, i used it on my phone which is NEO. And I think it is .431, as I have had that kernel a while now.

Not sure what that is, its not a kernel update as far as I am aware...
Anyway, what is it that you are trying to do with the phone? Are you installing a new ROM or are you just getting root access

No. Don't do that.. You will end up with problems.
Don't do OTA updates on phones with unlocked bootlaoder, specially not if you used official method.
That update is because you have .587 fw and .431 kernel, that's why you got notification about update. Let me guess, it's ~14mb?
If you just wanna root, and keep stock kernel, try following my instructions.

Yes, Yes. Its 14MB, but now i updated after boot the phone, OTA notification display "There's a error". I think its not an issue.

If I may ask, since I see you didn't end up wit boot problems, did you unlock bootloader with unofficial way, with s1tool?
p.s. you have another option, since you have root access, install titanium backup, and uninstall update center app
but still, my advise is flash stock .587, hotboot kernel with CWM, install superuser.zip and that's it, you are on stock with superuser access.

What's missing in steps I already wrote?
Anw, learn to read sticky threads. This is old phone now, most of the instructions are in sticky threads.
Well i have tried flasttool, Binary's solutin and neither of them have worked. Have anybody even rooted 6.1.1.B.1.54 or the only solution is to roll back?

Yes, first flash with flashtool B10 Kernel, then root with Binary's method, then flash B54 kernel, and you're done
Remember, only flash the kernels with flashtool, so u wont lose any data, nothing else

Thanks mate, it worked.

If he has unlocked bootloader he can't fix his device via pc companion.
Which device uses? Are you sure he installed a cwm for the device he uses?
Please post here the link of the cwm he used and the device he uses.

Try flashing stock Rom again.
Download an ics ftf file from development section here and flash it via flashtool. I recommend you the .54. Root it and when you're done let me know.

Since you are on unblocked bootloader flash this kernel if you want, it's a great one. Prerooted, with integrated cwm recovery and there is an overclocked version too. here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2299748
Read carefully the instruction on how to install this kernel. Note that you have to install one of this version of firmware: 6.1.1.B.1.54. You can find this version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028139
