That's really good. I connected PL2303 to my PC and it also worked
(before I used two built-in ports in Dell computer). I had this kind
of problem some time ago with mini2440 board (based on s3c2440).
I was able to download the code and it started on the phone but hanged
just after printing HW version. I'll check why is that.
Unfortunatelly I had problems pushing my UBoot code to
git.osmocom.org, so until I'll not solve them, you can use my patch
from attachment.
This patch should be applied on recent repository of UBoot:

git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

After applying patch it should be possible to configure Sciphone G2 target:

make sciphone_g2_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=....

After compilation you should be able to download UBoot to Sciphone
using osmocon.
For this, there should be PLL turned on and then EMI controller
initialized to be able to download UBoot code to external RAM (size of
UBoot is about 120KB). You can find this initialization in
"board/mtk/sciphone_g2/sciphone_g2.c" file. It should be applied to
loader.

BR,
Marcin
