  1. Open Tinfoil (or DBI/Awoo).
  2. Navigate to "File Browser" -> "SD Card".
  3. Find your install folder.
  4. Hold 'R' and press 'A' to select all files (base + update).
  5. Choose "Install" (or "Install and Delete" to save space).
  6. Crucial: Select the install location usually "SD Card" (NAND is fine but smaller).
