Just to make it clear - even without really getting deep into your
problem, you should know that 'dd conv=noerror' is pointless in your
situation, because it does not write zeros (or anything) instead of the
unreadable sectors - its writes nothing. So all the data after the first
bad sector will be shifted compared to where it should have been, which
will practically appear as a damaged filesystem, probably very damaged.
