I have tried searching the forum/internet for any problem like mine but not sure if my search terms were correct, so I will do my best to clarify the situation here...

I have S-OFF, and flashed the latest radios.. I went in to TWRP and wiped everything and was preparing to flash CMX, in the process, I had used the bootloader method to flash the radio. This meant renaming the file to "PJ75IMG.zip" and rebooting to bootloader. Well, now I can't get the boot loader to stop trying to flash that file, and when I say NO, it will only give me the option to reboot. If I let the phone boot up normally (I have been using MEAN rom), I am stuck at the "The Next EVOlution" boot screen with the red dev text, and the white bar at the top right corner not changing.

So.. I can't actually get into recovery from bootloader because of that file, and the phone will not boot up so I can't choose reboot into recovery. Any suggestions?


NEVERMIND... wow I don't know why I didn't think of this. I removed the sdcard from the phone and now it won't load the file.

You need to press the power button for at least 10 seconds till the phone powers down completely, then remove your sdcard. If you can open your sdcard with a computer and remove the zip. If you can't then boot phone without the sdcard to get into recovery, then insert the sdcard while in recovery to remove the zip.
