Oops, sorry.
Missed the middle part.

Iirc I once ran into that, but can not remember which option I used. For sure I made backups of those sectors (dd).
Run (as root):

Code:

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/home/user/boot.sector bs=512 count=1
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/home/user/backup.sector bs=512 count=1 skip=6

Now you will have save backups of both sectors and may try the variant 2 (copy backup to boot).

If that does not work do (it should, so post/ask before doing):

Code:

dd if=/home/user/boot.sector of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=512 count=1
dd of=/home/user/boot.sector of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=512 count=1 seek=6

And maybe you should follow michaaa62's advice below.
And read about testdisk.
