I wouldnt dd /dev/mtd5, as doing that may fully brick the thing.

Reflash after the second dd.
dd'ing /dev/mtd5 is pretty harmless, you'd only need to reflash rootfs image to get up and running again.


dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtd<0-2> I don't think is terribly fatal either, it looks as though you can recover from this as well: https://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_.../Cold_Flashing
