Stuck on first part of boot animation

[DaWolf85]

I tried to load a kernel using kernel manager... don't think I'll be using that again.

Whenever I try to boot my TB, it gets stuck at the first part of the boot animation, the part that says "HTC" on it, and the only thing I can do from there is a battery pull.
This wouldn't be a problem, because I can get into bootloader, except I forgot to remove the PG05IMG.zip of the MR2.5 that I flashed earlier today, and now all bootloader seems to want to do is flash that. If I flash it, I can only reboot. If I cancel it, I can still only reboot. And it goes straight into loading that when I boot into bootloader.
adb doesn't recognize the device, of course, because it won't fully boot.

So what is the recommended action here?

EDIT: Removing the sdcard fixed the problem with the bootloader not wanting to do anything but flash MR2.5. I still don't know what to do exactly, kinda experimenting right now.

EDIT 2: So it seems that removing the sdcard allows me to get into the bootloader and then into recovery, and then get to backups... but the backups are on the sdcard. Which is sitting on my table.
Halp?

yup, or if you have another phone just put the sd card in it and rename it.
If not go to a store, put it in a phone, and rename it.
