ESP8266 SMT Module 12-S Soldering Mistake

I'm new to the ESP8266 and had bought the SMT Module because I needed its small form factor and weight. I read I needed to pull up GPIO0 to flash a program, but my iron must have been on too hot and I soldered the trace pad off. Is it still possible to flash programs without GPIO0 pulled high? If so, how?

Not as far as I know, no. Without GPIO0 pulled high, the module will just run whatever sketch is loaded.

GPIO0 needs to be low in order to program the device. To run the code it needs to be high. If you are not able to control that line then you will not be able to use it.
