You may be able to renew it at the immigration court, in which case you will be entitled to evidence of your lawful permanent resident status until there is a decision on your application.

If your I-829 is denied, you remain a permanent resident until such time as a Judge orders you removed. You can even get a new temporary travel stamp although in some places it is hard because some officers are not familiar with these complex rules. This can take years, and in some instances, the court may not move on removal proceedings since current priorities are to mainly remove criminal aliens and other visa violators.
