Hi guys, I have just sold my n900 - before i ship it off I wonder if someone could provide some advice on the best way to make sure any data on it isn't recoverable - particularly photos. I'd rather not have to factory reset / wipe the thing.
For example, if I was to delete a large portion off the hard drive of my computer, some of it could probably be recovered with special software - I assume this would apply to the HDD within the N900?
Any advice here appreciated.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 (this is MyDocs)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p2 (this is /home/opt)
I wouldnt dd /dev/mtd5, as doing that may fully brick the thing.
Reflash after the second dd.
