The problem is the firmware, because a CSR firmware can be signed by the manufacturer and so you can only load a firmware which is meant for your device. Search the mailing list archive for a posting from Carl Orsborn regarding this. Anyway I think some dongles can be loaded with the plain CSR firmware or firmware files from other dongles. I already have started this project you mention and the upload (archive) mode for firmware is already working fine. Please check out http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/btdfu-0.2.tar.gz and send me your firmware files, so I can find out who really signs the firmware and which companies does not.
