It seems like your device is somewhat borked with little to no hope of easy restoration.

I suggest you to install busybox-power since you don't have sfdisk at all and use the busybox's provided fdisk to repartition your eMMC. Hopefully that should allow reflashing with eMMC be successful.

Here's the output of fdisk -l using busybox-power:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# busybox fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 32.0 GB, 32015122432 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 977024 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1               2      884865    28315648  43 Unknown
/dev/mmcblk0p2          884866      950401     2097152  83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p3          950402      974977      786432  82 Linux swap
Nokia-N900:~#

You basically need to re-set your eMMC layout as per above and cross fingers as you reflash the device after a successful updating of the new (and fixed) partition layout.

Again, take note that it should not be Id 43 for the very first line. It should be Id b.
