	You can keep ISFShax installed, or uninstall it. It's recommended to keep it, so you can coldboot Aroma without having the PayloadLoader attached to Health and Safety. It also serves as brick protections of sorts. You can now continue following the [https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-set-up-isfshax.642258/ ISFShax guide] from the "Autobooting with SD" section.
