|    DFU is absent, dfu-util -l finds no suitable device to work with,
| maybe because I damaged it when I changed environment in minicom
| console or I uploaded wrong image onto that. AUX+POW on the phone,

I'm not sure what's happening to you, but your dmesg traffic would be
pretty normal if you were entering and then leaving U-Boot... the
connection would indeed timeout (-110) when we leave U-Boot and load the
kernel / crash or whatever.

If you hold down the AUX / corner key when you power up, you should come
up in NOR U-Boot with a menu on the LCM.  If that's true, you should
have 30s to do the DFU you want to do before it times out.
