I'm not sure what to do. My OS is on the EMMC and I don't have it backed up. I can't SSH into the phone either.

Fairly regularly I have an instance (with both Mobian & Arch) that the phone gets stuck in u-boot and never launches the operating system. Which is usually solved by the 8 second power off and a retry.

If however your eMMC "boot mechanism" is bust then you can burn an OS onto an SDcard, boot that and then try repair the SDcard. Or retrieve your files (copy /home/mobian/).
