Need help please...phone reboot problems

Last night, I downloaded InnovationsOS v3 from the Nexus One Android Development forum. Prior to this I was using FRF50, and I have a rooted Tmobile Nexus One. I wiped the phone back to factory settings and also wiped the Dalvik cache (as I've been told in the past). Flashing went just fine and within a few minutes I had InnovationsOS after a reboot. (Let me just say, with this one minor exception, InnovationsOS looks incredible and I loved every minute of it).
After install, I set up AdFree which removes ads. I decided to do a quick reboot. The reboot wasn't so quick, and it stuck on the startup screen (the Nexus One/Google logo with the unlocked symbol below) for about 3 minutes. I didn't think this was good, so I tried a battery pull hoping for a normal reboot. Instead, what I got was the android falling out of the box. I tried a battery pull again and attempted to enter recovery, which worked. I wiped, and reloaded FRF50, and rebooted. I got the android and the box image, which wouldn't let me even boot into recovery anymore after several battery pulls. After a couple minutes of being completely stumped (and scared lifeless) I let the phone sit, and somehow it booted into recovery, where I wiped (again) and flashed InnovationsOS (again). After it loaded, it rebooted, and it's been working great since then, with the exception of one minor screen/keyboard bug...I press S, and get Z, or I press delete, and I get enter, etc. Plus hitting OK or Cancel on dialog boxes is impossible and need to use the trackball.
So, I would like to reboot to fix this problem and want to know what will happen, and I want to know what I did wrong above. I know all this sounds completely noob for this forum but I'm willing to learn, which is why I've been experimenting with rooting and flashing roms.
Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated.

Nexus One boot loop issues

Hi everyone,
I have a problematic Nexus One. I've googled the issue and read all the corresponding threads and none of them seem to have boot loop issues as bad as mine. At least I dont think so, anyway.
Where should I start? I recently bought the phone off ebay. The seller did clearly state the phone's issues and that he couldn't be bothered fixing it, let alone paying over $200 to send it back to Google to be repaired or replaced (from Australia). Call me a sucker for punishment, but I do like dabbling in electronics so I thought I'd give this a go and hopefully will be successful. It wouldn't bother me if it rebooted once every few days then rebooted again normally but this isn't the case. I'll try to describe it's behaviour as precisely as I an and I sincerely hope the collective expertise on this forum will be able to help me successfully resolve this issue. BTW, I've been using a gorgeous Desire since July.
The Nexus one is running Modaco r21, 4.06.00.12_7 radio, 2.6.32.9 kernel, CMR 2.5.1.0.
1. When the phone has been powered down for at least 5 mins, it will power up as normal. If left alone on the bench or very lightly used ie a few minutes, then pwr button sleep, no problem. If I continue 'sleeping' the phone every few minutes while using it it continues to function normally for a few hours. If I don't 'sleep' the phone and use it continuously, then after about 20 mins it goes into a reboot cycle with the static 'X' going on and off every few seconds then ending up with the continuously on "X" with the unlocked padlock underneath, which is unrecoverable until the battery is pulled.
2. Battery reinserted immediately after removal and the reboot cycle continues. I can boot into the white Recovery or Fastboot sreens but when I select an action like Recovery, the boot loops starts again. Battery pulled and reinserted again, boot loop occurs again. Pull battery and leave it out or powered down with battery inserted for 5 mins, reboots normally. Then point '1' above continues.
3. I have Rom Manager, Titanium and Superuser Permissions installed. I received the phone with Eclair installed and after many attempts managed to install the new radio and Modaco R21. Last night I tried doing a back up via Rom Manager since I cant get into the black Recovery screen and now Titanium and SU are force closing.
This is all I can think of right now and will update with more info as they come to light. I've been trying to install setcpu to see if underclocking will help however I have been unsuccessful due to SU force closing. I am an Android and Linux noob but am always willing to learn. I really would like to get more stability in this phone so I can either use it as my primary or back up.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Edit. I magaed to do a factory reset when it dont momentarily allow me into Recovery mode. Wiped all data and davlic as well.

My first instinct is that the phone has suffered or is suffering from a heat problem of some type.
Do you have the android SDK set up on your computer? You should be able to flash an aftermarket recovery using the "fastboot flash" commands. You could also use the "adb reboot recovery" command to reboot the phone directly into recovery mode.

I'll give your suggestions a try. What fastboot commands should I be entering? I am an absolute virgin with all this.

Hi again,
I've installed Android SDK and usb drivers. Where do I go from there? I am a complete newbie at this so please be kind.

julian.kueh i was posting to ask how things have been progressing along this matter?

I got the same problem. No matter what I do, I can get into Recovery. It stay in loop with X
I change twice recover and nothing.

[Q] Galaxy S won't boot past animation

Bit of a conundrum here - About an hour and a half ago my phone was working ok, albeit a bit slow.
I tried opening GoSMS, and it kept FCing. Didn't think anything of it, as I had a few memory hungry apps open as well (Angry Birds/Firefox), but rather than mess around with a task manager to kill the offending apps, opted for a soft boot using the power switch.
Upon rebooting the phone completes the boot animation, then at the point it would normally present me with a lockscreen and SIM unlock prompt, the screen goes black. Every 10-15 secs or so the familiar buzz, buzz-buzz-buzz of an app FCing can be felt. The power button is effective only to hold for a soft reboot, and the 3 buttons at the bottom (2 soft, 1 physical) have no effect other than to permanently illuminate the soft keys.
I've tried rebooting with every combination of the SIM card/external SD card removed, with no change.
Any suggestions?

Just remove battery from the phone. Reinsert it after 15 min and boot your device.
I wish you Good Luck !

No luck unfortunately - left it out for half an hour or so, and still nothing (

boot into recovery and do a reset, if that fails, flash thru odin

Boot into recovery and tell us the error you are getting.....sounds like the partition is F'd!

Yup, a factory reset finally worked. I just need to remember to keep a copy of the Titanium Backup apk on the SD card. Install, then restore the TB Pro apk, reset and leave TBP restoring all the apps!
Thanks for your help guys, if someone can mark this as solved, then brilliant )
Roll on CM7!

how to catch the error?
Hi all,
same problem here (when switching the phone on this mornig).
I've already experienced this once and solved via reset, as mentioned before.
I think maybe it's something related to an app (installed some new yesterday evening), and it vould be interesting to understand the reason of this behaviour, so I was wondering how I can get the error (or read a log) to get what's not working properly.
I will have time to investigate in the afternoon, so can you give me any suggestion on how I can look after this (I'm relatively new to android)?
thank you

[Q] Please Help. Stock phone stuck in boot loop.

My wife's phone is completely stock, I have never rooted it or anything.
A couple of days ago, she started getting a strange notification with the android icon and something called Smith with the message that it is disabled. Her phone would reboot itself a couple of times a day and now it is stuck in a boot loop. The phone has been stuck in the loop for a couple of hours now, stopping on the white android screen for a second and shutting down, rinse and repeat.
I can get into recovery by ONLY holding down the volume key, which is kind of strange. I also cant select anything in recovery.
Any help would be appreciated, she is about to kill me and switch to an iPhone.

unfortunately this doesn't apply to my situation because the phone has never been rooted

Follow the instructions here then. Be warned though, this will wipe everything, including internal storage.

The Smith file is some file that HTC put into the ROM that expired in mid-August. Ever since then, the app shows as expired when you reboot. Nothing you can really do about it if you are not rooted, but HTC is supposedly working on a fix that they will push via OTA.
However, it shouldn't be causing the bootloops as far as I know. If a factory reset doesn't work, then running the RUU is most likely the way to go.

Stuck on AT&T logo and cannot enter recovery mode

This is my first post, but I've had my phone rooted for a few months now with no problems until today out of the blue. What I've done to root my phone in the first place was flash to 4.4.2 NE3, root it, then upgrade to 5.0.1 OC 7 DeOdexed while keeping the root according to the link below. And then I put Xposed framework on it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/how-to-update-to-i537oc6-5-0-1-t3089355
And this has worked well for me for a few months since that was back at the end of December. Flash forward to today when my phone was being rather slow to respond to my actions so I decided to restart it. And upon restarting it, it's been stuck on the AT&T logo screen for a very long time. I can power it down with the power button, but think it actually just restarts it because then it boot ups again on its own. I cannot enter recovery mode with power+home+volume up, but I can get to the custom OS screen with power+volume down. My computer cannot see it as an adb device either. I've also tried removing the SIM card and the SD card and it's still gets stuck at the AT&T logo.
I've done nothing different with the OS or Xposed recently. The only new thing was about 2 hours prior to restarting it, I connected it to my computer to transfer some video files to the sd card. While I had it connecting to the computer and looking at the files on it through the phone's My Apps, it was sluggish to respond to my actions. But after disconnecting it, it was fine. I don't know if this is related, but I haven't done anything else different with it. Is there anyway to get my phone to boot up correctly? Or am I going to have to reflash it all over again? Thank you for any help.
Edit: I can enter recovery mode and I tried wiping the cache. It still gets stuck at the AT&T logo screen. I should also note that it no longer shows the Samsung "custom" boot screen anymore like it used to after rooting, now it just has the default Samsung boot screen, so it would certainly seem like my OS has been corrupted.
