Help! Cannot get into recovery with SD installed!

[eovnu87435ds]

So I went to apply a new rom, and as usual, I saved the zip to my SD card, wiped everything, and went to install... I was getting an error about /sideload/packages.zip, and as per guides found on xda, restarted. well, obviously, since I restarted, I cannot get anywhere except the HBOOT screen. Here's where I really f**ked up... I left a zip file from when I changed my splash screen on the root of the sd card. so when I go into hboot, it istantly parses the zip file, and asks if I want to update my splash. Whether I say yes or no, it leaves me where I have to press power to reboot. If I take the sd card out, I can get to TWRP, but I can't put the sd card back in without pulling the battery, which restarts the phone(even when connected via usb)

Is there any way short of using a microsd reader(which I do not have) to fix this? I assume all I have to do is remove that zip file...

Please help me!

if you can get into recovery, can you flash by installing a zip to flash the new ROM and once rebooted, go into storage mode to delete the splash file? just a guess as I am still relatively new to android and all.

I can't get any zip files with me into recovery, since the only way for me to get into recovery is to remove my sd. and I can't insert my sd while the phone is in recovery either, so unfortunatley I wont be able to flash a rom or delete the splash that way

PROBLEM SOLVED!

I had figured out how to solve this issue!
1. boot into hboot with no sd card inserted in phone
2. load TWRP recovery
3. with the cover off, lift the battery about 10 degrees, and slightly rotate it towards the battery contacts, until you can slip the sd card back in. once you do so, replace the battery and case,
4. go to advanced settings, reset settings, reset to recovery. this will let you bypass the HBOOT screen
5. enable usb mode, delete unwanted zip files, disable usb mode
6. flash ROM using TWRP

Right on! Glad you got it working. Good to know - just in case.

So guess what I just bought off amazon today? a usb micro SD reader! and it is staying right with my keychain for this exact scenario from now on

I am having a related issue - when i select recovery in hboot, it is rebooting everytime and so unable to flash any roms. In hboot, it is looking for PG86DIAG.zip/nbh etc.. refer to the attachment. Any help is appreciated.Thanks.

my problem was resolved. i had selected the check imgsrc option on hboot and it took a while to throw some numbers. After that, i was able to go to recovery to flash a new rom.
