Root Replacing framework-res.apk bricked me

I tried to put the CRT-Off animation on my phone. I changed the name of framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak then pasted in the replacement framework-res. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I searched for a way to get into CWM with hard keys, doesn't seem possible. If anyone has found a way to actually get into CWM with a key combo, please share it. Otherwise, I've gotta borrow my brother's computer. (I'm on a mac.)
 
Because of how our recovery works, it's not going to happen. Best bet is that you make a nandroid backup. If not, I'm sorry you just lost everything. But if you did, reflash stock, root, LTE2 boot restore. Otherwise you are sol ATM.
 
I just flashed TCR and was setting the phone up again, so I only wasted about 15 minutes of time. At least there's Sammyz' Unbrick guide. I don't think I'd even be playing with ROMs if I didn't know that was there.
