So I guess you currently have no kernel in-place. Normal fiasco ("combined") flashing should fix it, but apparently your image is corrupted. Even if it has worked before, I'd suggest you re-download the image and try it again.

everytime i try to flash the emmc the phone disconnects immediately, and even pulling the cable and restarting does nothing.
but it is clear i need the emmc flashed
Try to fix the above point first. Flashing (correctly) the kernel and the rootfs should give you a bootable system.

It may be that your eMMC is damaged. Even in that case Maemo should be able to boot!
