Exit out of sideloading update mode?

I pressed the power and down volume buttons to access the forbidden menu.  I selected to Enable Sideloading Update.  The device rebooted into a blank screen and does nothing else.  The light is purple and blinking.  How do I exit out of this?

you exit by holding down the power and volume down buttons until the headset shuts off, and when it turns back, release the power button but keep holding the volume button until back on the forbidden menu and then select boot device or boot normally or whatever it says to boot normally
