I used the method from this link to root my 893 phone
[How To] Root (or re-root) after 5.5.893

I'm not sure if that is rota893 or something different

I used the same method (1-click exploit from P3droid) as you did to root my 893. Then I added the 3 lines of code to forever root. My update went smoothly and I'm rooted. I'm lovin' it.

If you are currently rooted on .886 or .893, you should be able to make the edits...

RootExplorer Method

go to /system/bin/
open in text editor - mount_ext3.sh
add the following lines to the very bottom

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 755 /system/app/Superuser.apk

Shouldn't it be 4755 not 755 for the last line of code?

Here I have found quick way to resolve this issue. 1. Plug usb from phone to computer, find exactly where you rooted your phone copy it all to computer. 2. Get rid of root on your phone and update your phone. 3. Then plug usb back in, then get your copy file, and transfer it back to your phone. Your phone is now rooted =D

Have you made any modifications to any files on your framework, OTA requires bone stock with all bloat to accept it? Was the update OTA or downloaded via the boards?
