[PLEASE STICKY] Software Update 2.17.605.2 FAQs - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

Verizon recently released update 2.17.605.2 to our phone. It updates our phone from Android 4.0.3 to 4.0.4, and from Sense 4.0 to 4.1. The official changelog is here.
You can defer the update if you catch it in time, but it appears you have approximately 5 minutes from the time it downloads until it installs. It appears you also can't defer it more than 5 days into the future. You can also attempt to Force Stop the HTC DM app, but not all results have been effective.
ROOT
Andybones has obtained S-OFF with the help of Team unlimited.io. It will hopefully be released soon for the rest of us after finishing testing.
Other known improvements:
Tabs button in the default browser.
Youtube now has its own association in Settings -> App associations.
Expected but missing features:
Our phone did not receive the built-in feature to change the Recent Apps button to a Menu button, as all other phones with Sense 4.1 have.
ISIS may or may not be available to you, depending on where you live. Supposedly it only works near Austin, TX and Salt Lake City, UT.
Bugs:
The default Messages app lags severely when switching between the tabs at the bottom.
Your HBOOT may now say *** TAMPERED *** at the top, despite you never having unlocked your phone. It does not seem to cause any ill-effects, but probably voids your warranty.
This list will be updated if necessary. If you have any questions, ask.

I saw somebody mention in another post that YouTube links now have their own app association.

Good call.

Not sure why such a minor update would warrant a sticky. This thread probably has 72 hour shelf life.

Well, seeing as the update has been out for over 72 hours, and people are still asking the same questions over and over again, I think it does.

Is it jellybean? No, but its not exactly a minor update as it bumps up the android version and sense version

Any idea if HTC will eventually give us the Menu option over the Recent Apps? Recent Apps is useless.

Can't this be done with the 3-button remap mod?

Yeah, but we'll need root for that. Hopefully that'll come very soon!

I'd rather stay stock. If this is possible without rooting or a rom, I'm interested.

when s-off is out (soon id say) you can flash mods to the stock rom you run for it w/o having to flash a full custom rom (or just a stock modified rom)
wont void your warranty (well it will..but) as you dont need to register w/ htc when you soff (unlock dev unlock), so if you need to exchange/sell phone, you can go back to s on easily (well usually, depends what is released)

Nit is 100% correct, we should be able to turn back to S-ON for security purposes and other reasons.
here would be how
1)donwload and run an RUU for the most current build
2)open a cmd window. plug in phone,charge only mode,usb debugging on.
3)run the following:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot

confirming missing ISIS in latest OTA
Well, since I received the OTA yesterday for 2.17.605.2, I've searched everywhere on the phone and I can't find ISIS. I'm assuming it wasn't part of my OTA which I've been able to find only limited info on, that VZ might have removed it from the latest OTA. The OP mentions certain areas that might be affected so I'll just mention I'm in SE Michigan for what it's worth.
(EDIT --> Go to Settings, select More, then select NFC to 'allow data exchange when the phone touches another device' and the NFC feature will be enabled. The 'N' Symbol for NFC will appear between next to the 4G LTE symbol at the top of the screen.)
