I'm afraid you'll have to do a full reflash to get it back up and running again. That is including the eMMC. Otherwise you might be running into instability and meet the path of infinity looping reboot.

*sigh* How could that happen just from removing the autodisconnect script
Can you post a link to an howto about clean reflashing procedure?

So When I just flash this image: RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1.203.1_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin
then it will flash rootfs but not /home/user and /home/user/MyDocs? That would keep apps working with my settings after reinstall, right?

Ok guys. thanks so far.
I did reflash and got the device booting again.
What are the steps necessary to do now to get it to the state before it broke down. As I still have ~/MyDocs and ~/ intact do I have to reinstall every app now and hope that they use the old settings?
Or can I run my backup now because my homescreens are gone for example.

I wanted to install autodisconnect from extras-testing. Before that I removed the autodisconect script I am running for some months. So I moved the sh file from /etc/network/if-up.d/autodisconnect to somewhere else, then i killed the autodisconnect script.
Then I realized that my wlan won't connect anymore. So I thought I should reboot my device. When I pressed the power button the device was off immediately. When I press the power button now the LED and screen turn white as usual but stay on for about 10sec. after that the phone goes off again. I already removed the battery.
Damn, what have I done. root is not for everyone I guess
How can I get my N900 working again?
So many apps and data is on the device. Luckily I got a backup from PR1.2 update. Do I have to reflash?
