Remove -s 0x210 is wrong. If you put the sector size
to 0x210 you have same tricky problem of the garbage
collector that during the live collect remove data,
because it thinks that is an hole.

Clean all the dataflash before, or padding the size with 0xff
If using an u-boot system add the command for erasing dataflash.
