I rooted when i was on 4.0.1 (gsm) primarily for lightflow/adfree.
Stock rom, stock recovery.
Everything fine.
Upgraded to 4.0.2 OTA, which i assumed got rid of root, but to my suprise, superuser was still there, and adfree/lightflow still enjoy superuser privs.
I wanted to change my softkeys using ninjamorph which requires root.
When new apps try to get root access, it is denied, so i assume this is the breaking of root.
Downloaded new modaco r4 superuser zip
Same steps as last time, boots fine afterwards.
Now superuser FC's when i try to open it, and still no new apps can get root.
Unsure how to proceed.

...unless its a case that the database that the Superuser app maintains still allows apps that had permission before (as long as they remain in exactly the same installation state) to continue to have root. That's the only thing that makes sense to me and is something that I'll research at some point in time (if true, this implies that if one could pre-seed this database with entries or be updated in some other way, then you could subvert the normal root checks--unless ChainsDD put some integrity checking on the .db to prevent just such a thing 
).
