Basically what the title says. If my phone powers off, powering it back on will trigger an infinite reboot loop. The first time this happened, it would boot to the lock screen and then immediately reboot to the Apple logo. I was able to stop the loop by holding the volume up button just before the lock screen came up. After that, everything seemed to be working fine until my battery died at the end of a long day. When I charged it and it started back up, it entered a loop that never even reaches the lock screen, and just alternates between darkness and the Apple logo. I can get the phone into recovery mode when connected to my computer by holding the sleep/home buttons, but I'd like to avoid a complete restore if possible.

Any ideas?

(And yes, I'm a dev and this phone is registered as a dev phone, although i had not put any of the betas on this one yet. My other iPhone 4 dev model is working fine, but that had all the betas on it.)
 
It's never been jailbroken either, if that helps.
