HTC last week promised that the ThunderBolt's Gingerbread update would be returning "soon," and it looks like they weren't kidding. A new changelog has been posted on Verizon's ThunderBolt support page, and this time the update's build number is 2.11.605.5, compared to the broken update's 2.11.605.3 designation. The 2.11.605.5 update is fairly similar to the one that was pulled, though its changelog does have a few new inclusions that are worth mentioning:

• Improved security features that reduce device vulnerability.
• Bluetooth security patch has been included.
• Basic voicemail notification will now notify when a new voicemail has been received.

There's no word yet on when this new and improved update is going to start rolling out to eager ThunderBolters everywhere, but I'm sure that HTC and Verizon will be eager to get the word out once it does. We'll pass along the details when we get them. In the mean time, the full 2.11.605.5 changelog is available for your perusal down below.
