Plug your phone into your computer and use the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to rollback to Windows Phone 8.1. It may not detect your phone right off so keep trying and be patient.
My opinion, you should've backed up all your important files before even thinking about upgrading your phone, whether or not it was to a technical preview (especially to a technical preview).

I'm having the same issue with my 1520 but when I plug the device into my computer, Windows Phone Recovery Tool won't recognize it. :unhappysweat:
