You could downgrade to .42 firmware using Flashtool.
But downgrade needs an unlocked bootloader right ?

What are you talking about?
I've written he could downgrade from .62 firmware to .42 firmware, so he can use the zergRush exploit.
Nothing about 2.3.2!

Flash .42 firmware using Flashtool.

Well if your bootloader is unlocked then just flash a custom kernel and be done with it they are all auto-root! That's assuming your bootloader is unlocked,, if not then .58 firmware is your best bet
