I ran through this last week and didn't have to reflash. The cause was a low battery when I rebooted it... and my phone always thinks the battery is lower than it actually is (available power increases a bunch several minutes after a reboot).

It did have me wishing I had a more recent backup... that wasn't on the phone. I ended up pulling the battery for a couple minutes, put the battery back in and just plugged in the charger. I didn't do anything else and then I checked on it about 6 hours later, power button worked and it came up fine. I had to redo the initial basic setup (location), and change how I prefer my time to be displayed, but everything else was intact with no reflash.
