Here is my problem ,

Boards used Arduino UNO and ESP8266 ESP-07
Connections between boards as follows
UNO ESP-07
---- -------
TX -- Txd0
RX -- Rxd0

ESP-07 connections as follows

Vcc -- +3v
Gnd -- Gnd
EN(CH_PD) -- +3.3v
RST -- open
GPIO 15 -- Gnd

Now I power up ARduino and esp module.
RED led of esp switches ON
I open ARduino IDE 1.6.6
open serial monitor (Baud rate 115200. NL&CR )
Now momentarily connect RST to Gnd.
It flashes following message...(see down below)
After that I type any AT command in the terminal window...it does nothing
No response back.
What is going wrong?

Hi, I'm currently having the exact same problem. Were you able to make this work?

How can you connect a 3.3 volt device (ESP8266) to a 5 volt device (Arduino) without translators and get them to work? I have several Arduino devices built to run at 3.3 volt, they have jumpers or a switch for the clock and voltage.
Have you tried using a FT232RL like device to communicate to your ESP8266? Here is one with a 1Mbit chip and RS232 built together https://goo.gl/6e3AsC
