Every generation of arduinos have littlebit different Reset providing for sketch upload.
Modern, UNO R3 uses USB to TTL chip (ATmega16u2) with DTR pin.
In Past, Duemilanove or NG uses FT232RL with RTS and DTR pins.
There was different pogrammers (stk500, stk500v1, arduino) many upload speeds and bootloaders.
Now I am using 1.6.7 IDE with 1.6.10 boards library.
From USB to TTL CH341 chip I was got DTR line for "UNO like" schematic connection.
I was uploading sketches with ATmega328 and optiboot_atmega328.hex bootloader without any problem
Now I would like to upload sketch to old one Atmega8 using same CH341 chip.
I was trying with optiboot_atmega8.hex, ATmegaBOOT-prod-firmware-2009-11-07.hex bootloaders without success.
From IDE and with avrdudes terminal - answer is the same.
avrdude: stk500v1 - ...stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x39
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
Should I use RTS line too - connect them like on Duemilanove or NG schematic?
What board do you have selected when trying to upload? Should be the arduino ng or older one, and you want the ATmegaBOOT bootloader you mentioned.
Have you set the fuses correctly? If not, it probably isn't running at the right speed, which would explain the error.
Please don't butcher the error messages you post, post the whole thing. I particularly like to see that first line where it shows the avrdude command it's invoking, and whether the resp= same thing every time or not.
Please do not put two different error messages you got on two different occasions right next to eachother. The stk500v2 error did not come from the same upload attempt as the stk500v1 error. The stk500v2 error was generated with the wrong board selected (stk500v2 is only used for the Mega2560 and MegaADK).

Thank you.
In both cases effect is same - sketch was not uploaded.
Another try:
I was remove/replace original ATmega328 with ATmega8 in UNO R3 board.
Still cannot upload sketch.
