My Motorola Triumph Android phone gave me a polling, get oemsbl_mode = 1 message when I turned it on today.  If you turn on the phone while pushing the volume up button and  power button at the same time, the phone looks for a USB  connection to update its ROM.  To get your Android phone out of polling, get oemsbl_mode = 1 mode, just remove the battery and replace it, then press the power button to turn the phone on.  That's how to fix it. When you turn on the phone, make sure you aren't also pressing the volume button at the same time.
