do you have power kernel installed ? or have mad developer installed ?
you can connect your n900 to the internet via usb .
edit /etc/network/interfaces
and add :
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 10.42.43.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.42.43.1
or change the above to match your system , these numbers are the default for ubuntu , when using network manager and using connection type "shared to other computers"
then do the following :
modprobe -r g_file_storage
modprobe g_nokia
ifup usb0
now your n900 would appear as a network device , if you are using ubuntu , it will automatically configure a new connection called auto usb0 , however if will fail to connect , solve that easily by editing the connection , and going to ipv4 tab and change the connection type to shared to other computers .
by default network manager will set your ip to 10.42.43.1
check your connection by pinging your n900 from your pc
ping 10.42.43.10
you should get replies.
now you can install filezilla on your pc and backup your files from your n900 .
if you want to connect the n900 to the internet , edit /etc/resolv.conf and add
nameserver 8.8.8.8
then check your connection by pinging google.com .
if you are using windows , you need to get a driver for the n900 to be used as a network devices , and change the ip addresses written above to match those used by windows .

Hi. I just thought of a few other things.
Do you have a microsd card? You could just copy everything across to that as well with xterm.

Don't you have a connection that automatically connects to the internet? On mine, when I reboot it automatically connects to my wifi. And because I accepted on 'use 3g connection' (or something) when there's no wifi, the device will even connect to my 3g connection when required by modest or even MicroB I think. Maybe starting one of those programs from xterm will trigger a connection?
I think there is another way to get access to your emmc. Going off what retsaw said here when you flash the device into r&d mode you can access the emmc. The links are included in his post and you need a linux machine to flash the phone into r&d mode.
