The "dd" commands are done from SSH. To "dd" to mmcblk0p1 you should boot from diags. Writing to the partition you booted from can result in a corrupted partition, because the firmware sometimes writes stuff to its own partition. You can look for "mntroot rw" commands in the startup scripts to verify this.
To erase mmcblk0p3, you do not need to erase the entire partition (just enough so it will not mount on next boot). You can add "count=1000" to that "dd" command. Some people have reported problems with not specifying the count. It really should not matter, but it does not hurt to add a count just to be safe (and it will be faster too).
