HOW TO: Bootloader and hard reset without the stylus!

I'm sorry, i used this method everytime i flash from internal storage, but what is "bootloader". I obviously use the triggered bootloader. So what does the bootloader do?

While triggered bootloader allows you to load a rom from the internal storage, regular bootloader allows you to connect to the pc and load a rom from there.

I usually put my phone into regular bootloader, and connect it to the pc.
Then I use the ruu folder and the "Custom_RUU.exe" file to flash the phone.
I have the stock Sprint rom on my internal storage as DIAMIMG.NBH, incase I ever have an issue when flashing a custom rom.
I only use the Trigger bootloader when I want to flash to stock.
