After reading this article i tried to remap my russian keyboard so up\down keys works without pressing Fn key but after trying to apply new keyboard map i got loading error and replaced layout file with backup. Tried to apply keyboard mapping and got error again! Now i have no idea what to do, because if i try to reboot device it won't boot once again.

What commands, exactly, did you run?
"setxkbmap"? "setxkbmap ru"?
What did you use to edit the xkb files? Did you edit them in a text editor on a Windows machine by any chance?
In fact after answering those, if you could post both your modified and your backup /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51 files, that'd be great.

Here's backup file: http://www.mediafire.com/?axjl94he7ppew5c
Sadly i didn't saved modified one but all i changed was:
partial hidden alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "arrows_2btns" {
// rx-51 specific arrows mapping
// normal 2nd level must not be enumerated to allow text selection with Shift key
key <DOWN> { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Up, Left ] };
key <RGHT> { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Down, Right ] };
};

Okay. Well, IF I remember correctly, if you know for sure your backup file is completely unchanged from the original working one (looking it over a little it looks fine to me), then you can reboot even though setxkbmap gives an error and it'll reboot safely.
I am not 100% sure if the doom-saying on that wiki page about needing to reflash if you reboot is applicable in other situations in general - my contributions to that wiki article were primaily in the known bugs and multiple layouts areas.
At any rate, if I remember correctly, it should be safe to reboot.
After you've rebooted, this is how I would change the rx-51 file if you just want the arrow keys in the normal 4-arrow-keys layout -(change in red):
BUT, you then have to remove the "<LEFT>" and "<UP>" keys from the ru mapping and as a result, you have to find a different place for the Б, Ю, and Е are mapped to those keys. Also, you'd have to find a new space for the period.

Code:
// Levels 5-8 are Russian, levels 1-4 US English, for shortcut reasons.
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "ru" {
include "nokia_vndr/rx-51(english_base)"
include "nokia_vndr/rx-51(arrows_4btns)"
