Isn't it possible to flash only MT update? Flashing only kernel.sin will not work? Do I have to flash my firmware also?

When you create the ftf file it seems to make no difference if the laoder.sin is included. The flash tool gets its own laoder sin. I've tried both include and not. Both ftf file flashed OK. Why is loader.sin included in build of ftf?
