Sorry for upping an old thread, but hey we can't all manage to play the games just when they're getting released.
Anyway with the playme release (burned on a verbatim dvd+r x4, can't burn to a lower speed) i had freezes constantly when creating a profile and in game at cinematics or...
I don't 'know what is the best method, but i was in the same case as yours a few days ago (wanted to update from a wasabi modded 3.1 to 4.1).
Finally i used Dop-Mii : http://code.google.com/p/dop-mii/

You can update whatever you want with this...
I used: no soft reset, no trim, DoFAT force R/W and game works fine.
The save from last night loaded fine this morning
No need for arm7 fix
Config: Kernel 4.8/u-disk 4.8D with iND release
When installed with 4.8a, i noticed some crashes (white screens) when playing it.
Reinstalled with 4.8b and no problems so far...(But maybe it's just luck )
u-disk manager 4.8a is not just for chinese g6
I installed it on my pc and it's in english.
By the way, zelda works fine for me (with loader 4.7 and u-disk 4.8a, but software reset doesn't work even though i checked it)
ps: Thank you linFox for the links!
if they get permission from 4j (the studio who helped put minecraft on consoles), they could put the console edition tutorial worlds in the game, as seeds
and i mean all of them (if not, maybe a few highlights, like TU1, TU31, and TU69)
