you cant root that firmware,

should search this has been discussed

But you will need to flash back to .42, then root it then do ota upgrade

when you have flashed .42 DO NOT remove anything or change anything then do OTA update to .62

Rooting .62

You can root .62 if u have a unlocked bootloader.
If not, downgrade it to .42 firmware using flashtool 0.6.7.0 and then root .42 using flashtool itself...
the best n safe way...
