Cannot open serial device /dev/ttyUSB0

I am getting this error message when I try to connect to my C155 phone and upload hello_world.compalram.bin using this command:

./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c155 ../../target/firmware/board/compal_e99/hello_world.compalram.bin

Even though device ttyUSB0 exists in my /dev/ directory, and I have set modprobe cp210x, and chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0.
Here is an output from dmesg:

[  105.110818] usb 6-3: USB disconnect, device number 2
[  105.111098] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0

Here is an output from ls -l /dev/tty :
