Just dd'ing the recovery partition to the root partition won't work. The recovery works by formatting the root partition, unpacking file to the root partition and then dd'ing the uboot and kernel to the appropriate places in the disk. There's a fair chance that rewriting the uboot and kernel will be enough to get it to the state where it will do the factory reset by tapping the corners.

Or, you could just restore an image. I have sent you a PM with the link to the image. If you want to restore the serial number, it is at offset 0x200.
