Sailfish X freeze on Sony whitescreen

My Xperia X device get stuck on the Sony whitescreen for forever. The phone is fully charged.

During the boot with USB connected to PC I could see, that the phone is detected (so it boots up partially, and is not fully bricked??):

Last time I had similar problem with bootloop after Sony white screen, the solution was to conduct Option 4 (Filesystem Check) from Recovery Menu.

This time Option 4 do not help, but it shows some problems with this partition:

/dev/mmcblk0rpmb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error

  Jolla Recovery v2.0 
----------------------------- 
Welcome to the recovery tool! 
The available options are: 
1) Reset device to factory state 
2) Reboot device 
3) Shell 
4) Perform file system check 
5) Run sshd 
6) Exit 
Type the number of the desired action and press [Enter]:

I wonder whether this is the reason why the boot process get stuck at white screen??

 # e2fsck -f /dev/mmcblk0rpmb
e2fsck 1.43.1 (08-Jun-2016)
e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/mmcblk0rpmb
Could this be a zero-length partition?
/ # fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0rpmb
fdisk: can't open '/dev/mmcblk0rpmb': Input/output error

Attempts to fix this partition or just check it's properties failed.

Whether anyone had seen this, and have the suggestion how I could recover from this issue?, without factory reset which would be the last step I would like to try?
