I've first installed Raspbian via NOOBS (just placed the files on the SD Card using windows), which worked fine and Raspbian was start- and usable. Afterwards I wanted to set an static IP by changing cmdline.txt in boot (like described here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=24993 ). Because I've had some issues changing the SD cards content (first I've set the umask wrong when mounting, and after a successfull change I could not mount the boot-partition at all.
To overcome this issues, I've decided to install Raspbian manually by using the image from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ . The sha1-Hash of the download is correct. I've installed the Raspbian via:
sudo dd bs=4M if=2015-11-21-raspbian-jessie.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
Unfortunately is it not possible to boot the Pi from the SD card (the sceen stays black, the red and green light are constantly on) Furthermore, I can not access the file system of the SD card using Ubuntu. The following partitions seem to be available on the SD card:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 0 Dez 4 13:59 /dev/mmcblk0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 1 Dez 4 13:58 /dev/mmcblk0p1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 2 Dez 4 13:58 /dev/mmcblk0p2
gparted says that the file system of both partitions is unknown.
The Raspberry is ok, as it is possible to boot it with a different SD card.
Is there something I've done wrong or something I could try? May the SD card be broken, or is there some problem in the installation process?
EDIT: fdisk -l 2015-11-21-raspbian-jessie.img seems to be right:

EDIT 2:
fdisk -l on the SD-card unfortunately does not return the same (and neither on the other partitions):
reichelt@reichelt-ThinkPad-T440s:~/workspaces/irpsimworkspace/backend/backend-utils$ fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0
Konnte /dev/mmcblk0 nicht öffnen
reichelt@reichelt-ThinkPad-T440s:~/workspaces/irpsimworkspace/backend/backend-utils$ fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0p1
Konnte /dev/mmcblk0p1 nicht öffnen
reichelt@reichelt-ThinkPad-T440s:~/workspaces/irpsimworkspace/backend/backend-utils$ fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0p2
Konnte /dev/mmcblk0p2 nicht öffnen
(I assume the output in english would be "Could not open /dev/mmcblk0")
EDIT 3:
But the SD card does not seem to be broken. Detecting badblocks does not find anything:
reichelt@reichelt-ThinkPad-T440s:~/workspaces/irpsimworkspace/backend/backend-utils$ sudo badblocks -o ./badblocks.list -w -s -v -b 4096 -c 16 /dev/mmcblk0

Von Block 0 bis 7593983

EDIT 4:
I have an SD card reader on an Thinkpad T440s with Ubuntu 14.04. The card is realy accessible via /dev/mmcblk0.
After badblocks ran for a longer time, it displayed errors. I've now changed the SD-card and the Pi seems to work fine now. So all in all my lesson learned is to have much more patience for badblocks to finish.
