Preloader

[the lucky William]

This pre-loader makes me confused.They just shouting do not flash the preloader.
What is preloader? Could you please explain it?
Apologize for this stupid question.

I'm confused... which means your question isn't stupid. First of all, WHO is shouting this? I've been modding Android since 2009 and I've never heard of a preloader.

I'm talking the Android watch flash.I joined a google+ community.They consider the preloader just like something very important,if you mess it up,it would brick your watch.

Still no idea,they mean it is the BIOS of a watch.And then?I don't even know how to flash it!!!How shall I avoid bricking my watch in this way?my D5+ works well now,but what not to do?

I think you mean to say "boot loader"? Now that would make sense.

 

[the lucky William]

and ?what is it?

Boot loader is the original OS the watch has (a real easy explanation). Some can be unlocked and some can not.......................same as phones. There is a misconception between carrier unlocking and boot loader unlocking. Always has been. All carrier unlocking is, is just that.....................unlocks your phone to use a similar carrier as in T-Mobile and AT&T (GSM), but not Verizon or Sprint (CDMA). Boot loader unlocking is far more dangerous for the uninformed person. That can lead to hacking issues if you do not know what your doing! IMHO you should leave the watch alone and go with what it does without messing with things! Just MHO
