I have tried, however once I get Towboot on an SD card, I can't get my PPP to boot. No matter what I do I get a black screen and a steady green LED until I power it off. I can't seem to get my device to boot to a stage where I can then install Towboot, or any other software for that matter.

A week ago I tried to reinstall Tow-Boot using an SD card and also couldn't boot it. Then I realized, I made a mistake and I flashed the whole .tar.xz to the SD. There was an spi.installer.img file in the archive which should be used to flash to SD.

Than I had troubles to write to the SPI (a red screen with some error messages showed up). It helped to purge everything from EMMC (plugged via USB to Notebook and zeroed using dd command). After I was able to write new Tow-Boot.
