I don't know what to do. I'm overseas and my phone had been working fine on available wifi connections and a portable router in my hotel room for 2 days. Cell radio turned off, just wifi and only when I was specifically turning it on. Otherwise the phone was turned off. All of a sudden it's stuck in a rebooting loop.
After it started looping, I pulled the battery and left it out for several minutes. The loop is 7 seconds of blank screen, 15 seconds of hourglass, blank screen and red light for 5 seconds, blank screen and light for 2 seconds, back to 15 seconds of hourglass.
So, I could maybe try to wipe the OS using jl commander. But if I do that, can they still identify that this is the phone they sold me? i.e. same imei. Obviously the label is there, but can they identify it from the electronics if I tried wiping the OS? I just got the unlock code right before this trip so I'm worried that they'll think it's a different phone that I'm trying to pass off as my phone.
I'm kind of resigned to just waiting until I get back but want to try an OS wipe if that won't cause any warranty issues.
