Help Stuck in recovery mode?! HEEEELPPPP MEEEE :(

What do you mean you don't have an OK key? The power button is normally the OK key. Are you running a T-Mobile Vibrant or an i9000?

Tmobile Vibrant. The power key does not work. I'm now stuck on the cellphone > triangle with !> computer.

assuming that's bad....

I'm being sent a replacement.. but I'd still love to get my phone back to normal.

Hmm...I've not had that happen so I don't have experience getting out of it. Can you get into download mode? What works for me is to turn the phone off...then plug the USB cable into the phone. Hold the VOL up + down buttons...then plug the phone into the computer.
