Help Another S2 Rebooting issue US T-mobile T989

I previously thought I had a sim pin issue causing the random reboots, came to find out that the sim pin issue is not the real issue, it's a rebooting issue "first", the sim pin is just an innocent by-stander that proves the phone had rebooted at some point.
I've done factory resets, battery pulls already, 100% stock firmware with UVLDE update.

Since the SD card has been reported to be the cause of the issue, I removed it and formatted it on my PC(it had tons of apps from my Vibrant S on it) - result: no good as it rebooted WITHOUT the card in it.

Right how I'm thinking it may have something to do with the NFC feature(near field communication). Why? Well I work very close to some business grade telecommunication equipment(wireless routers, tele-gateways, etc). I'm starting to think that the NFC feature may be the cause of the reboot therefore I've kept the phone home, without sim card, and without SD card since Monday 06-04-2012 and it hasn't rebooted as of yet(almost 1 whole week).

Does that make sense to anyone? Would NFC really be the issue? Is the NFC installed inside the battery or the phone? I'm thinking of getting a new OEM battery.

I really do not want to send it to Samsung as I've read that at times they haven't resolved the issue, plus i'll have to spend another $25 on another screen protector.
 
you should try flashing a firmware.. maybe it'll fix the bootloop. i've been on bootloops before and just placed it on download mode and flashed a new firmware

Does that mean putting in a custom firmware?
Or my current/official 2.3.6 is currently out there for download, just need to reinstall the firmware(for lack of better words)

ICS will be available today via Kies. Back up your data, install it and do a factory reset. See if that helps.
