So no matter what installation method, this breaks root?

breaking root shouldn't be big deal as all it takes is one keypress on pc and you're back to being rooted.

The only reason I am interested in 4.0.4 is for more consistent reception. I flashed the radio package and it didn't do squat. Are there actual workings in the rom itself which increase and maintain reception aside from the radios?
Just use this ROM: [ROM]IMM30B 4.0.4 Stock,rooted,deodexed,zipaligned,busybox,insecure boot + mods zips - xda-developers
Download this specifically: Rooted,De-odexed,Zip-aligned ROM With Stock Insecure Boot Image And New Radios & Bootloader
Follow the installation instructions (clear Dalvik cache) and you will have 4.0.4 with root. It was an easy upgrade for me and I also installed some of the other add-ons on that thread (like the battery mod in status bar). 4.0.4 is butter smooth and has gotten rid of all stutter in the homescreens and app screens. Also Wifi to 3G/4G handoff is near instant now, which was one of my biggest complaints.
I haven't noticed any improvement in 4G speeds, but reception seems more consistent and I do think that the number of bars being reported has been tweaked.

i've noticed that 4.0.4 got rid of random reboots. my phone has been running without reboot for over 5 days now when before i'd reboot every few days.

I updated using a rooted 4.0.4 stock rom. I think it was easier.

Can someone answer the last part? Radios alone didn't do crap for me either.

in all the time i had this phone, since launch, i have never experienced a random reboot.
questions regarding this update, sorry if they have been answered already
1 - Is the batter life improved?
2 - Is the camera quality still the same?
Here is a user discovered changelog for 4.0.4 from xda forums: 4.0.4 Unofficial Changelog *Update2 02/05* - xda-developers
I can vouch for most of these things on the list.

They definitely tweaked the amount of bars shown for the same dBm reading.. so the perception is you have better signal when its actually the same.. I think I actually like it better this way..

I do too...however it isn't all just topical. They have significantly enhanced the handoff between Wifi and 3G/4G. It is much much better now in 4.0.4 and was one of my major gripes in 4.0.2.
Sorry for the delay in posting this but THANK YOU for your VERY fast answer to my question. Was driving me crazy trying to figure that out and am embarrassed that I didn't think of that.
