Hi Hermann,
Did you flash a suitable kernel with the rootfs?
About u-boot and whether NAND erase is needed. I have never done that,
because it was old information when I started. I have u-boot files with
the numbers 1.2.0 and r0 and r1 and r1 is dated August 20 of 2007.
The one I am using now is a special from ScaredyCat for doing dual
boots i.e. can also boot from an SD card. It is numbered
1.2.0-moko9-r13_0_2632_0 and dated Aug 12 2007 it has Set console to USB,
Set Console to serial, Power off, Boot from SD, Factory reset.
In the wiki/Booting_from_SD there are instructions for adding items to
the menu, which were supplied in case Booting from SD was not there.
Therefore I suppose that a newer u-boot might be what you need.
(A link to the one I am using is on that page. I use it because the newer
ones I have tried will not boot my SD card.)
In trying some of this just now using cu -l ttyACM0 for example, I find
that I cant do very much because although it tells me that In; Out: and
Err: are usbtty, it dies before I have time to do more than one quick
command. Can anyone tell me what else I need to do to talk to u-boot for a
longer time?

This sounds as though it does actually boot.
In order to do flashing can you get a boot menu using just the phone?
Hold the aux button down and while it is down press the power button
until you sense a very small click, it should then respond by
bringing upwards a screen which says at the top
Yes, actually the devices is booting.
u-boot and some version information
BOOT MENU
Boot
Mine shows:
"U-Boot 1.2.0-moko9_r8"
"Boot"
"Factory Reset"
Given that you can flash with dfu-util, I will tell you more if you get to
that point because I have to leave now and go home. If you dont get there I
cant help anyway.
Flashing with dfu-util does work too, I flashed the recent recommended
image. My neo booted from the new image, but it got stuck while
configuring some packages. So I think, I have to erase the nand
completely before flashing.
