possible cause: you accidentally hit/released the AUX button _during_ 
bootloader startup.
As the address switching (from NAND to NOR) done by AUX is direct hw without 
any buffering, a state-change during load of bootloader (i.e. the first few 
ms after pressing powerbutton) may mess up the whole system. Result 
unpredictable.

Anyway chances to seriously break anything by such an incident are small to 
zero (though I'd recommend to pull the battery rather sooner than later to 
stop the madness)
