I was able to stop the phone from looping by fixing the usb, I guess that is what was causing it to reboot. I had about 1 min 15 sec from the start of the system (when I could launch an application) until it locked up and rebooted.
I used z4root to get temp root, then I used terminal emulator to run
su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd-eng.img > /data/mtd-eng.img
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd-eng.img
reboot
This took about 20 times of reboot, turn on wifi, download apps from the market/net, install each app, run z4root and at the same time while temp root was running copy text to paste into terminal emulator. Each boot I only had time to do one thing so it took about 20 boots.
After that, it started and everything worked fine (no reboot loop). Usb was working and I could adb to the phone.
also I don't know how I did it but I was able to stop the constant reboots once more. once the phone started (I had it in airplane mode) I enabled wifi, then 4g, then gps, then ran sprint zone, sprint tv, and sprint navigation. Now I don't know what any of the apps do but when the phone stopped rebooting last time there was a sprint icon in the notification bar so I ran all the sprint apps and it didn't reboot.
Anyway, I hope this helps anyone else out.
good luck.
