The most important is second partition. If it's corrupted and you flash fresh rootfs so optification fails and can't boot. Maybe fsck can help or you can flash once again rootfs and before first boot use rescue os to swap emmc with sd card in /lib/udev/mmc_id (1>0, 0>1). It should boot after 1-2 minutes and then you can easy copy yours data.

to get the data out from the eMMC Possible use Parted Magic to solve this problem
Open opt or MyDocs or home Whatever you want I hope it helps you
to Open home or opt You must connect the mobile in case of booting And choose backupmenu then choose "W" red and write

There is no warranty anymore is there?, and anyway IIRC you only load the rescue os kernel into memory.
Once you have retrieved your data, you should do a full FIASCO + eMMC flash of your device and you'll be back to factory conditions.

initfs - on EMMC, actually - is corrupted
As already indicated below by @elros34 the "no initfs \o/" message is always shown when R&D is active.
Look in /sbin/preinit.

1. Enable & disable R&D mode - no effect. Inbetween "no initfs \o/" was shown

3. Flashing rootfs - no effect
Flashing the kernel alone won't help because the modules will (likely) be missing. Flashing the rootfs alone won't help because the kernel will (likely) not match.
The problem is that the stock kernel requires modules that are in the rootfs, so you need both to match.
Other than that, *in principle*, the N900/Maemo5 can boot without an eMMC, so if flashing kernel and rootfs goes OK your N900 should boot.

Is it normal that my internal 32G is /dev/mmcblk1? Shouldn't it be /dev/mmcblk0?
/edit: removed the memory card, the internal is back /dev/mmcblk0. Reflashed again, maybe it'll fix. fscking /dev/mmcblk0p1 & /dev/mmcblk0p2 tells that partitions are clean

For Maemo it's the other way around. udev does the swap. Probably for script-compatibility with who knows what ancient tablet
(like the whole upstart-but-also-some-sysvinit we also have).
If I didn't like the N900 so much I would really say that Maemo is a stinking piece of shît.

Hi, this may be just a random guess, but have you tried to boot the N900 without the SIM card?
I don't know if it is the same issue, but about two weeks ago my device was stuck at the five blinking dots, same as yours.
It turned out that the SIM was the problem, without it the N900 boot up regularly.
