Thanks. I will try that.
Quick question though: what size of garbage do I flash to address
0x2adc8000 and 0x2a5c8000.

Of course, this leads to you losing all the data on your user partition. If you want to backup, then dump from there a number of 0xc3a37e00 bytes. It will take a looooooooooooooong time.
Also, you might want to try to do the same to the /var partition, which is stored in partition 3. Dump some zeros or garbage to offset 0x2a5c8000. Note that this is a rather short partition, only 4MByte, so don't flash too much garbage there.
