Phone keeps rebooting

For some reason my phone has started rebooting itself about every 10 - 15 seconds. I can't get anything done with it. It doesn't matter if it is on the charger or running off the battery. Anyone had ANY ideas on what is wrong or how to fix it?

I've had that happen before when I cooked my own rom and loaded too much stuff in. I've remedied that problem by loading less and increasing the pagepool size. Don't know if you cooked your own rom, so if not, I don't have any ideas.

I tried to reflash my phone to get it to stop, and it still continues to do this. I used the same rom (not a custom rom I cooked) as I had before. I have also put the phone into bootloader and tried to re-load the new sprint rom update and it stops at 29% with an error. I use error recovery and it stops at 29% yet again. I have a funny feeling this phone is now bricked

did you remove the battery and then put it back in?

Sure did. Tried that twice. No matter what I do now I can't get it out of bootloader mode. I even tried the hard reset method. I am stuck at this point, and ready to pull my hair out.

did you try removing the battery for 30 sec and then doing a hard restart, if that doesnt work then flash a custom rom

I managed to flash what I thought was a good .nbh file from my memory card, but now it comes up with "No Radio"

Any ideas?

I was finally able to get a radio flashed over to the phone...now to get WM back on it and go from there.

Well, seems like my phone still wants to keep rebooting. WTF?? I have a radio on it, it boots up, and once it gets into WM it decides to reboot after about 20 seconds. I am REALLY starting to get frustrated.

I had that happen as well.... you can flash till the cows come home and it wont repair... I finally had to buy a new phone. I had just installed 1.18 from NSFFAN... I really don't know what caused it... because the ROM worked well for 3 days.. then poof... no more phone and constant rebooting.
