If a day, we can flash the bootloader, it will have a chance to unflash to put the original bootloader or firmware? I don't see the utily but when you return your player to Toshiba to change a piece or the battery...

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to. But I think that your warranty will be over by the time you have to buy a new battery.

Actually firmware is time stamped. So, you can revert original firmware only with new date. In order to do so you need to decode and then encode original firmware file.
This will only be necessary if you have changed changed your splash screen.

If we have our own tool (like the iriver_flash plugin) this doesn't apply of course.
