Root Noob who lost root after OTA

Greetings all. I'm a noob who recently rooted my Pantech Marauder phone. I rooted using ICS Root Unlocker 1.0. After the recent Verizon software update OTA this week, I no longer have root on my phone.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could go about restoring root access to my phone?

I tried the factory reset; however, it resets to the new OTA update. ICS root does not work anymore.

I've also tired Z4Root, and that doesn't work either.

This post here seems to indicate that folks aren't having much luck with flashboot, either: http://androidforums.com/marauder-a...attempting-develop-clockworkmod-marauder.html

Any thoughts? Or, do I need to wait and see if there is a new exploit and tool that comes out later on down the road?

Thanks!!!
