Help Download in Progress glitch

I, too, seem to have fallen victim to this ridiculous scam that is the "Download in progress, do not disconnect cable" error message. I am not a tech savvy person at all, and have honestly never even heard of rooting until today. I had my phone in my sweatshirt pocket like usual, and pulled it out to check the time. My phone was unresponsive when I hit the power key (which has happened quite often, and I'm used to popping out the battery, resetting the phone, and carrying on like normal.) So I reset the phone, started it back up, and automatically received this error message. I have now tried multiple soft resets, I have attempted a factory reset (with the volume down+power key), but nothing works, and it just keeps bringing me back to this one screen. I looked over some of the suggested threads, but I have no idea what I'm doing, so I get lost just trying to read through the steps. Is there anyone that can help me, or am I at a complete loss at this point?

I guess I should mention I have had the phone for nearly 2 years, and something like this was bound to happen eventually... I just can't afford the replacement the week after Christmas. :/
