writing to mtd with dd is prone to fail, as dd doesn't know about bad block management in mtd, and mtd is a *raw* device where you eventually will run into an occasional bad block.

There are tools that are specifically built to deal with bad blocks on mtd, e.g mtd_debug is one of them I'd assume, available in fremantle.
