It's simple, if you already using MB60 Download Tool maybe you don't need installing driver again.

Just grab and use MB60 Ghost Tools, I'm using this ghost image:

1. Entering download mode on the phone after connecting USB cable from PC by pressing End Call + Jog Ball + Power, wait about 10 second after display show a text "Download Mode" (you must remove battery first)

2. Check what port is used on PC, if you're using Windows XP just go to System Properties>Device Manager>Ports; you'll see Attila Diagnostic Tool and the port number used.

3. Open MB60 Ghost Tools

4. Choose the right port based on step no. 2

5. Klik Start, it will ask the file .bin based on JaymartCleanROM

6. Wait till finish, be patient it takes a long time around 45 minutes to finish. Make sure no any interruption during this proccess.

Good luck

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] su8044:
Dude, it worked!!!

Thanks for the great help, it really worked. I just finished flashing JaymartCleanRom and it's working great.

Next thing i'm going to do is flash a 6.5 firmware using DLtool again to see if the error "Sim Is Locked" disappears. I'll keep posting about my progress, maybe i'll help someone else with the same problem.

Once again, thanks to everyone who helped me solve this.:):):)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] su8044:
It's all FiXeD

So, i couldn't wait to tell you that my "SIM is Locked" error has been fixed in DLTools v1.8.

My guess is that there's a conflict between bootloader v1.0015 (the one that i had) and DLTools, and now it's downgraded to 1.0012 there's no conflict.

Now i have a new Issue:

JaymartCleanRom installs with no problem

Chinese Rom installs with no problem,

6.5 rom gives me "Flash_Bin Download Incomplete". i've already tried with rom 23562 and 23563 and it gives me the same error.

So, i wanna ask anyone who has tried the rom 23563 lite rom with the old oem ( Post 286 ) if you can make a ghost image using MB60 Download Tools and send the BIN file please. that way i'll be sure that it'll work.

once again, sorry if i'm being a pain.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ancehamsah:
You can try flashing it with MB60 Download Tools 1.4c, it will solve your problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] su8044:
still same problem, using MB60 Download Tools 1.4c did not fix the "FLASH_BIN Download Incomplete" problem.

There's something about how to solve the problem here:

h**p://moto.it168.com/archiver/tid-608515.html

But it's in Chinese and google translator talks about "brush" and "paint". maybe someone can translate it to another language you can understand and then re-translate it to english so that i can understand.

But i still think that making a ghost image of a working phone with 23563 rom is the easiest way to avoid more troubles.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ancehamsah:
What's condition your phone now? Is it stuck on "OEMSBL Download Incomplete" and you can't go anywhere or you still can flash to other WM6.1 firmware?

If you really stuck, try to flash it first to latest Full Chinese ROM firmware (20th firmware) using MB60 Download Tools 1.4c then flash to WM6.5 after that. I've experienced this before, and it works :) Try it!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] su8044:
@ artcmmu

Maybe it's because the bootloader changed to another version, maybe it's something else. The good thing is that is fix now :)

@ ancehamsah

The exact error message that appears in the phone is "FLASH_BIN download incomplete".

I tried almost all possible combinations, including chinese roms .18 and .20, and they installed flawlessly, but when i try to install roms with winmo 6.5 i get the flash_bin error, either using DLtools 1.4c or 1.8.

I still think that the most easy solution is to create a ghost image from a working 23563 rom or any other 6.5 rom.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] su8044:
This rom worked perfectly!!! thanks pignew, i'm really impressed by your hard work. do you think that after flashing this rom all other roms will flash without trouble? or it's just this one that was specifically made to bypass the 814 error?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pignew:
Yes, this rom was built with special kitchen to bypass error id 814.

I don't sure that your device can flash with other rom. But my device can not flash other rom except official rom and rom that built with special kitchen.

And this rom is able to flash to all A3100 device not only device that found 814 error.

Tried using pignew's 23656 and artcmmu's ROMs, same problem.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center on my vista - no good. tried manually uninstalling the driver from device manager - same.
