Ok I used the old root video he did before (How to Root Droid Bionic! | Droid Bionic Root) and later I applied the update and lost root (according to Root Checker). Should I do do a hard wipe and then root as stated here or just root again or do something else? Note when I tried to update superuser I get this error message:

Try to root tool here, it is so much easier than the methods I've seen on that Droid Bionic Root website.

All you do is download the files and run the .bat file and it'll root your phone in under a minute. Don't quote me on this but in the event that there is some conflict or it doesn't work, it shouldn't mess up anything with your phone, you'll just find that you don't have root and SuperUser still doesn't work. But if you're on 893 and have broken root, the tehroot tool that I've linked you too above should do the trick. I don't even think you really need to wipe the phone but if you don't have any data that you're concerned about losing, it probably wouldn't hurt. If there is data that you don't want to lose, I would just try the root tool without wiping.
Maybe someone else with more experience can chime in but I think you'd be fine just to run tehroot and see if you're rooted again.

Just root, then unfreeze. Then you should be all good.
You can always just use a pathsaver to get to 902 though.
