With respect, I think that thanking Toshiba for providing rollback, and for telling us in this forum that the new update disables fastboot, is a lot like thanking a bully for spitting on you rather than punching you.
Think about it:
1. Thanks for telling us about the disablement of fastboot? C'mon. The
right place to announce the disablement of fastboot would have been in the update's release notes, not in a forum thread that probably fewer than one in a hundred Thrive owners will ever read. It is a very major change in the new update; of course it should be announced in the release notes, not in some obscure little corner of the web.
2. It is equally silly to thank Tosh for providing rollback. What Tosh has told you here is "you can choose to have root, but if you do then you can never again have a system update...you're stuck with Honeycomb till you finally throw away your Thrive." If they were genuinely concerned with the developer community they would have given us a
real choice: "You can have DRM, but no root, or you can have root, but no DRM." All that would be required would be for updates to check for root, and if it finds it disable DRM and the apps which require it. Presumably there are three reasons they didn't go that route: (i) it would require some actual...you know...
coding, rather than simply hitting the 'delete' key; (ii) there's no percentage in it for Toshiba...Tosh can make money without even thinking by supporting DRM, but can't think of any way to make money by supporting root; and (iii) Tosh doesn't give a flying fig about the developer community, nor about its customers who benefit from the great solutions those devs deliver for the many bugs and bad design issues Tosh leaves unaddressed.
"Thanks?" You're kidding me, right? I mean,
'Thanks'???? Why not "hit me again"?
