Sorry to say this, because of the failed restore with backupmenu your N900 is bricked now, and the only way to flash a fresh Maemo system is to get the USB-Port working again.
Edit:
Does it boot into multiboot menu, and/or do you have still access to backupmenu?

That is bad. 
You had installed backupmenu which is highly recommended if usb-port is broken. But if anything goes wrong and booting into backupmenu fails, there is no way back unless you have something to boot from SD (u-boot can do it f.e.).
Now you can ...
... repair the broken usb-port to get the abilty to flash a fresh fremantle with flasher and "U"-key pressed at boot.
or
... sell it on ebay for half of the price of an used N900 (to some technician that looks for broken devices like this and repairs usb) and pay the double to get one with working usb-port.

first of all i am new to maemo, tried today to port my n900 to use android by the tool NITDroid, used a guide written in my local language, it seems that i had a messed up system so some of the commands i used when i was installing nitdroid results in errors, so i wanted to reflash my n900 and that what screwed everything up.
I did reboot then i got the multiboot screen, i chose the second one and did restore backup, then it did restore successfuly and completely ruined my OS and made my phone unbootable, i hadn't any choice to boot maemo, whether i open the slid or close it, it wont boot up maemo so i did this "Restore Backup" thing, now my phone is unbootable, and my USB port is broken, so i have no way to reflash or do anything to it, i used to play with the winscp but now i cant access the OS to use it, any idea to get me out of this trouble?
Regards.
