Seriously, as far as I ever heard, Endy was never rolled off the pad
after the most recent Hubble mission, so did they install everything
on the pad or were they considering launching a rescue mission with
all the ISS mission stuff aboard?

Endeavour rolled around from Pad 39B to Pad 39A on May 31, 2009.

And Endeavour did not carry any ISS payloads while on pad B - 39B's PCR
is no longer certified to install payloads. The ISS payloads for 127
were installed on 39A after the rollaround.

....and they think they may have actually figured out what's wrong, and
it's a manufacturing defect on the ET:
