if you just flash the kernel,u will still using current build not the kernel build.
u need to flash full firmware downgrade like fw .42 or .58.
use latest Flashtool 0.6.7 it can keep user data
when you flash the firmware be sure to uncheck
- Wipe User Data
- Wipe Cache

all data will be preserved
just root your device using zerg rush method.
after root,check new firmware using your phone (OTA Update)
It's recommended to use wifi connection.
