Stay away from FTDI offers from ebay.
They all use fake chips which are useless and you are just throwing out money.
The original chip is very well known and praised. Having a good reputation also makes it expensive and a prey for fakers and scammers. The chip alone often costs more in bulk than the whole thing that you bought on ebay.
Get a CP210x . It will solve your issue most likely.
[SOLVED] Cant flash firmware
Re: [SOLVED] Cant flash firmware
Thank you both.
I did ordered CP2103.
Jumper was put to 3.3V and LEDs they are blinking unfortunetly I cannot test it with any other UART device at the moment. I will test it with another UART at USB to make a loopback.

Re: [SOLVED] Cant flash firmware
What happened in my case?
The one that didn't work was removed from ebay.
This one worked:

It is not expensive and works like a charm
