[Q] Gingerbread Recovery mode "@"key does not work

---

Hi all,
I succesfully updated my Droid Pro to Gingerbread and rooted it. Then played around with it, and now the launcher (home) crashes (dont ask). So I am basically caught in a loop. Cant undo the damage, coz whenever I click force close, the phone tries to relaunch the home screen and --- bam -- crashes.

So I decided to wipe.

I pulled the battery. Powered up, while pressing power + r + m. Sure enough, I boot up in recovery mode. Triangle and little droid. And then --- I am stuck. This is where you are supposed to press "@" and then you get the recovery menu. But the phone does not respond to the @ key. It does not respond to ANY key.

Now what?

Help would be appreciated.

Press both volume keys at the same time..;D

Thanks a bundle.

Edit: and thanks again. Got everything up and running smoothly.

By the by, for those who wish to learn from my mishap: I am in the Netherlands and decided, just for fun, to see if the phone would support the locale nl-NL (Netherlands - Dutch). So, I downloaded more locale2, added a custom locale and ---- the home screen crashed.

So guys, if you want to add your own locale, make a backup first.
