So after trying to install Android Revolution HD 8.1 it has beet on the bootloader screen for about 30 minutes now and hasnt done anything. I tried to hold down the power button so i could go back into recovery but it wont reset that way either. It also isnt far enough in the boot for it to be picked up by ADB either. Anyone have any other ideas?

Power and volume down should get you back to the bootloader.

I tried that. I tried just power button and even power + Vol up. So i am guessing my only chance is when the battery finally drains.
Hold down power + volume down & up for about 10 to 20 seconds or until it powers off then if you wanna get right back into the bootloader then hold down power + volume down right after it cuts off.

Thanks a lot! It worked and i was able to restore using a backup.
