[Verizon] OTA Broke Root

I updated to 4.0.2 via OTA and as expected it broke root. To re-root (I am using the Superboot Method) , do I just need to boot into fastboot and double click the install-superboot-windows.bat file just like the first time I rooted? Also, the Superser app is still showing. Do I uninstall before rooting again since Superboot will install it again or do I leave it and Superboot will install over the existing app?

Thanks!
 
Yeah that happens.

If you boot into fastboot you should still be able to flash CWM or softboot it (your choice) and flash the superuser.zip from there and your root access will be restored ;)

Thanks! What about the Superuser app? Delete before root or leave it alone?
 
I don't think it will matter if it is there or not. If you don't delete it and the flash doesn't work then delete and try again.
