You'd have to shut down the phone first, but that would be one method. The other method is flash back to WinMo....

Is there a fix for the backlight staying on?

Its actually in the works. There is some testing going on but nothign was published. Should fix the auto dim and led lights. Hope all the tests go well so we can get this patched up.

Unfortunately, the zImage is on the actual NAND, and you can't update it. I originally thought it was pulling from my SD Card, but that explained why I could never get hw3d working and wifi wouldn't work with the updated modules.

For now, the only way to test the new zImage/modules is with Haret since Tinboot isn't playing nice right now. I was kind of hoping ACL and Wozz wouldn't have to waste their time on Tinboot, but whatever isn't working is over my head

i guess this explains why it would only look for the modules wozz put in..hmm(im learning new things everyday

Do we even need the files on the SD card then? or is still looking for the modules there?

Yes, I updated the FAQ to be more clear about what is going on with the NAND and SD card. Long story short, the zImage and initrd.gz files are in the NBH and get flashed directly to the NAND. The modules, system.ext2, rootfs.img, and data.img are still stored on the SD card.
