Hi Rajesh,

It looks like your memory part is different: the original flash has 256 
equal size blocks, the new flash is "bottom boot" with four 64K blocks 
in the lowest 256K area.  You probably need to do some configuration 
(rebuild) u-boot for the different parts.

Beyond this general information I'm afraid I don't have enough knowledge 
to help.

Best regards,
