WM knows nothing about communication to your PC w/o AS, so the Bootloader can't receive messages from the PC to do anything with the ROM image. The reverse is not true-- your PC can see your WM device w/o AS, via USB drivers, but it only sees the SD card as a removable disk so to speak, same as an ordinary thumb-drive. The WM root, however, remains masked w/o AS to provide duplex communication to the PC via USB drivers.
