The other day I pulled my phone out of my pocket and noticed it was off even though the battery was at least half charged I turned it back on and discovered it was stuck in a boot loop. I still was able to get to the bootloader screen but when I tried to enter recovery it rebooted after about thirty seconds. I am out of town and don't have access to my home computer but I plugged it into a friend's, and it started up no problem. SDK was not installed. I tried flashing both clockwork and twrp recoveries, installed new Roms after full system wipes but I still have the same problem. As soon as I unplugged the computer the phone turned off and started looping again. The phone is fully charged so its not a power issue.
Any ideas for what might fix it when I get home in a couple of days? Right now I am running aicp and clockwork recovery
Thanks

Update:
I am back home and after trying to flash a new rom, changing my recoveries and formatting my device I still have the same problem. I just finished restoring my phone using an RUU and it works perfectly but as soon as I unplug it from the computer it freezes for about five seconds and then goes back into the boot loop. I'm afraid it might be a hardware failure? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello.

Do you have S-ON or S-OFF?

I still have made no progress, I restored the phone to factory using an RUU but I am still experiencing the same problem. The phone powers on as soon as it is plugged into a charger or computer. If I shut the phone down while connected to a PC it automatically turns itself back on. If it is not plugged into a computer it boots for about 45 seconds, turns off and starts back up on its own. As of right now it is completely stock. Any help would be appreciated.
