[Verizon] Can't reroot after latest update

I rerooted using wugs toolkit, which essentially pushed su.zip and cwm through adb, rebooted into recovery, at which point I manually installed su.zip (install zip from sd | choose su.zip | yes to install) then rebooted. I did have to go into SU on my device and install new binaries, but once I did that root was back.
 
I used the DL ROM to get the IMM76K rom. I had the same problem as Unforgiven, the binaries needed to be new for that rom. I found them in this post by Scary Alien:

I just overwrote the old su.zip on my sd card with this one, rebooted into recovery, installed the new su.zip from sd card, and viola, root.

But I still had CWM recovery on my phone, since I didn't take the update OTA. You will need to get that on your phone. Unforgiven's method is what you want.
