Well, i thought i give it a go.
I've used the 0.9.9.2 image mentioned above. After flashing the image the device reverts to 9600 baud and prints the following during boot:
Code: Select all[System Ready, Vendor:www.ai-thinker.com]
But doesn't seem to react to the console typing. Characters are does echoed back to me but this might just my terminal doing local echo. Seems like after a while it reboots on it's own (watchdog kicks in?). I'm using PuTTY on Windows to connect via UART. I've tried changing CRLF settings as others recommended. Doesn't seem to change anything.
I think flashing was not complete, esptool wrote this for me:
Code: Select allc:\esp8266>esptool.py --port COM3 write_flash 0x000000 0922.bin
python dll
kernel32

Connecting...
Erasing flash...
Writing at 0x0007ec00... (99 %)
Leaving...
Traceback (most recent call last):

esp.flash_finish(False)
File "C:\esp8266\esptool.py", line 188, in flash_finish
raise Exception('Failed to leave Flash mode')
Exception: Failed to leave Flash mode
That 99% worries me
Seems like esptool has some kind of issue with this:
