You will need to reflash your phones firmware.
To do that please visit this page and have a read: Updating the tablet firmware
I would probably start out trying to flash the rootfs, if you still have trouble then flash both the rootfs and the emmc

If it won't boot all you can do is reflash.

Only an eMMC flash will erase your contacts...some of your app configurations might be lost (and of course you'll have to reinstall them).
In any case, do a backup first!

Yes that's PR1.2 global version. The global firmware can be used on any N900.
