Hi Lia,

I have tested another cable (USB <-> 2,5 jack, speacial for Compal 
phones) - it is the same chip (Prolific) and I am able to load firmware 
too. Although it is the same chip, there is a difference that this one 
makes the osmocon printing those messages instantly when phone is not 
connected:

If I connect phone, printing stops. Here is what happened when I tried 
to load firmware without xor (-m c123) and pressed the button:
(This happened every attempt without xor flag)

If you have USB adapter (I guess you have), you dont need to check 
model, check 'lsusb'

[root at amilo osmocon]# lsusb
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
*Bus 002 Device 017: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 
Serial Port*

If you have Prolific, which is very common, I encourage you to use xor 
flag. You can also try to switch on your phone to check if original
firmware boots. I experienced during my early tests, that phone crashed 
(probably SRAM) and it was unable to boot even original fw. In case 
phone is crashed, reconnect battery and it will fix itself.

Here is the ACK after hello world load:

handle_write(): 768 bytes (17919/19787)
handle_write(): 768 bytes (18687/19787)
handle_write(): 768 bytes (19455/19787)
handle_write(): 332 bytes (19787/19787)
handle_write(): finished
got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 1b  .

got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 02  .
got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 00  .
got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 41  A
got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 03  .
got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 42  B
Received DOWNLOAD ACK from phone, your code is running now!
