Sources are not very helpful for emergency recovery.
Depending on your device (I don't know anything about the Lime2) you have
various easy "binary only" recovery methods:

 - most popular for all machines that can boot from USB: boot a USB install
   image
 - my personal favorite: boot an install kernel for your device from u-boot
   via network
 - boot an install kernel for your device from another SD card and swap
   the cards after the installer starts (better only do that on ramdisk
   based installers where / is on the memorydisk during installation)

On machines with multiple possible boot sources it is easier (and you can
prepare for disaster upfront by having a spare "known good" boot setup
around).

For us to be able to help you more, we need to know details about your setup.
Like: what boot medium are you using, what are the other available options -
and maybe you can get better support on the port-arm mailing list.
