FWIW, someone asked me whether c113 worked. I found a cheap 113a and hello_world loaded pretty well. The screen on my phone is shot but the backlight did come on.
it works fine with the following command:

craig@craig:~/c115-osmocom-bb/src$ host/osmocon/osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c123xor target/firmware/board/compal_e88/hello_world.compalram.bin
