Does Voodoo root keeper work across the update or does it have to be a re-root?

[Edit] Couple more questions:
- Do frozen apps need to be unfrozen before the OTA? Some like Blockbuster are going away, so would it be a problem if it's frozen?

- Anyone checked if FoxFi works after the update?

To answer my own questions:
- Voodoo worked great across the update. (Defrost apps, hide root, take OTA).
- FoxFi is now part of PDANet+. Still doesn't work with WiFi (Bluetooth does work).

Wife got the update at work, she said it applied, but when I checked it says "Failed" in the Status query, everything shows the correct numbers, but she still has all the bloatware. I did a restart, no joy, battery pull -- restart, no joy, factory data reset I guess is the next logical step. :mad:
Any ideas anyone?

I know, I know, CM 10.1, got to test on mine first.

That happened to me when I first bought the phone, it came with v3 and tried to update to v4 that night while I was sleeping. I woke up in the middle of the night to find the screen on with a count down to install. I said no, and then it installed itself later that day while the battery was only at 15% and the phone was in my pocket. Bricked the phone and I had to go get a hardware replacement that afternoon, less than 20 hours after I bought it.
