Information

Toshiba has disabled Fastboot in Android images that support DRM content, as a security measure in compliance with Toshiba's security policy. 

For developers or users that require this function, Toshiba supports rolling back to a previous Android image with Fastboot. After the image has been rolled back the Fastboot function will be restored, however DRM-enabled content services such as Google Videos will not be available. 

Please note that image updates that support DRM content will continue to be offered to the user through the Service Station update utility.  User’s requiring Fastboot should not Install these updates, as doing so will, once again, disable this function.
